Jesus Christ restored the gospel through Joseph Smith.

Jennifer Smith February 10, 2010

Do you know the name of the person who organized The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; established a bank, a newspaper, and a printing office; supervised the building of the Church’s first temple; initiated extensive missionary work; made a translation of the Bible; received keys of authority from Moses, Elias, and Elijah; and translated the Book of Mormon? If you answered Joseph Smith, you are correct.* Joseph lived…

There is a hill in western New York called Cumorah. It may appear to be an ordinary hill, but for hundreds of years an extraordinary treasure lay hidden in it. When this sacred treasure was finally brought forth, it began to change the world. Over eighteen hundred years had gone by since Jesus lived upon the earth, and people had changed His doctrines and teachings. These changes caused a great…

The restoration of light

Jennifer Smith September 6, 2008

Take the pieces of a flashlight apart. Give one piece each to a class member. Have them stand at the front of the class holding their piece, have one extra class member stand up there with nothing. Ask each person with a part of the flashlight what they have and if they can turn the light on. They each say “nope”. Have the class member that didn’t have a part…

I used this by showing the class how the silver looked when it was tarnished. Then as I was talking about how the church was restored, I was also cleaning the spoon with the silver cleaner. It probably took about 3 minutes. Then I washed off the cleaner in the bowl of water. After that I dried it off and let the class look at how it was restored to…

Apostasy and the Restoration

Jennifer Smith September 6, 2006

Give one student the marker and the plate. Ask the students to list the things necessary in the true church / Christ’s gospel (i.e. apostles, revelation, baptism by immersion, etc.). As items are listed, the student with the plate will write those items on the plate. When the class has run out of ideas, show the plate to the class and indicate that the plate is complete and whole…just as…

Take a “Master” lock and attach a sign to it that says “Eternal Life”. The only way to get the “Eternal Life” is if you unlock the lock. I have several keys that you can give to a class member and let him/her take one and pass the rest to the person beside them. That person takes one and passes the rest until they are all passed out. Then discuss…

Apostasy and Restoration of the Gospel

Jennifer Smith January 5, 2006

Begin with the Rubik’s cube puzzle solved. As you talk about the apostasy turn the rubiks cube until all of the colors are mixed, illustrating the point that parts of the gospel that were lost or confused. While you talk about the importance of each part of the gospel and the church return the cube to the completed state representing the restoration of the gospel.

Apostasy and Restoration

Jennifer Smith June 30, 2005

The period of time when the true Church no longer existed on earth is called the Great Apostasy. (Gospel Principles, Lesson 16: The Church of Jesus Christ in Former Times) Priesthood authority was restored to the earth by Jesus Christ through the prophet Joseph Smith. That has a lot of big words. What does it mean? Pretend that this building (Show the simple block building without the “Authority/Priesthood” block) represents…

Does it measure up?

Jennifer Smith April 8, 2005

The following is from Teaching, No Greater Call, B: Basic Principles of Gospel Teaching–Use Effective Methods, 27: Choosing Effective Methods, page 92: For example, a young missionary was teaching an investigator about the need for the gospel to be restored to the earth. The investigator responded that his church had taught him many valuable truths and that it had always been good enough for his family. To help the investigator…
