Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/04/15/colossians-1-4-catch-phrases-on-christ-and-christian-conduct/ The effect of the encroaching heresy [an odd blend of Jewish religion and Greek philosophy] was to diminish the preeminence of Jesus Christ. Paul corrected this false idea by teaching that Christ is the very image of God, that He is the Creator, the Head of the Church, the first to be resurrected, a member of the Godhead, the Redeemer, and the “hope of the gospel, which ye have heard” (Colossians 1:15–23). We began the activity by defining what a catch-phrase is. We then demonstrated our understanding by recalling common catch-phrases that students are familiar with today–both worldly and religious. Once we had firmly established what a catch-phrase was we did a little experiment to test the epistle for catch-phrases. I asked each student to pick a random verse from any chapter…

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/04/15/philippians-1-4-flecks-of-gold-for-scripture-49ers/ Philippi had a “rich” history based in GOLD. This background is a great way to set up the content and context of Paul’s epistle to the Philippians (a good overview of this is found at: http://www.ldolphin.org/pphilippi.html). This Mormon Message, FLECKS OF GOLD, is a great illustration of what it is like studying Philippeans and the other epistles of the New Testament. Many times they are ignored because they…

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/ephesians-6-the-whole-armor-of-god/ How do we put on the whole armor of God so that we may, as Paul promises, “be able to withstand in the evil day”? Elder M. Russell Ballard said, “I like to think of this spiritual armor not as a solid piece of metal molded to fit the body but more like chain mail. […]

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/03/nt-romans-6-baptism.html Many people Paul taught still lived the Law of Moses and did not understand that the Atonement had fulfilled that law. Paul needed to teach them that sin could be overcome by Jesus Christ. Using several scriptural references, the class picked out principals of baptism, added them to raindrops and filled a baptismal font… Isaiah: 40:30-31Mosiah 4:6-7Moroni 10: 32-33Romans 6:1-2Romans 6: 3-7Romans 6: 8-9Romans 6: 11-12Romans 6:…
