Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/james-1-5-disciples-with-gusto-live-life-in-crescendo/ To understand more about how this lesson you will need to read the excerpts that I have included at the end of the post from Grant C. Anderson, “Living a Life in Crescendo” (Religious Educator 5, no. 2 (2004): 19–27). I have edited his talk to include those parts that I felt are relevant to the students […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/james-1-2-doers-just-do/ This lesson goes really well this April’s Come Follow Me curriculum on the Restoration. We started off with some background on who James was (see Bible Dictionary, third entry under James and James, Epistle of) so that we could establish some “street cred” and determine the importance his writings may have. How does knowing that he was Christ’s brother (half-brother) […]

Bednar, from minute 4:00 – 7:15. There is also a great example given by Elder Bednar from minute 7:15 – 8:30. I used minutes 4:00-9:20 with my classes. He teaches this MUCH […]

I was able to do what I hope other’s do with my posts. That is, I was able to see what was done in their seminary class and tweak it to fit the needs of my students. I […]

The study of the doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior quicker than a study of behavior will improve behavior” (in Conference Report,Oct. 1986, 20; or Ensign, Nov. 1986, 17). As mayor of Nauvoo, Joseph was called upon to render judgment on Anthony, a black man who had not only been selling […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/04/22/2-timothy-1-4-perilous-problems-and-scripture-solutions/ In small groups, students began by creating a list of common sins in our society. We listed a few on the board and compared our list to Paul’s list in 2 Timothy 3:1-5. Just as President Packer illustrated in a talk he gave, we were able to see that Paul’s list is a perfect “checklist” […]

Here are a couple examples of my boards. I begin by having the students practice 25 Scripture Mastery MAD GABS that I present to them. For a great example that has been prepared to share visit the following link on Mormon Share Then, […]
Downloaded from: http://ldsseminary.wordpress.com/2013/04/19/1st-and-2nd-thessalonians-becoming-converted/ Much of the discussion in 1st Thessalonians has to do with becoming converted to Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 1:7-10, 2:12, 3:12-13, and 4:1-5 all emphasize the importance of Christians “walking the walk” of a Christ-centered life. As it is stated … Continue reading →

We compared the For the Strength of Youth (FSOY) booklet to Paul’s epistle to Timothy. Students discovered and shared counsel that was given by Paul to Timothy that corresponded to counsel given by President Monson to the youth. By […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/04/18/2-thessalonians-1-3-apostasy-and-restoration-dont-fall-away-today/ Students discovered some of the key elements of Christ’s true church by using the True to the Faith booklet to determine what was lost as a result of the Apostasy or what was revealed as part of the Restoration. To help visualize, we wrote down those elements on disposable cups. Students explained the necessity of each one. […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/04/16/1-thessalonians-1-5-walk-with-god-what-how-why/ “You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?” An age-old challenge for every Christian! We know the right answers, but are we choosing the right? We started our lesson by creating acrostic poems for the word WALK. It was just a regular acrostic to get the concept down and focus on the word WALK. Students shared a few and then created another acrostic for…
