Matching handout and quotes from Seminary NT Teacher’s Manual page 204, Philippians.
This LDS dispensations handout is based on the super cool walkthrough at http://gospeldoctrineplus.blogspot.com/2010/01/as-memory-aid-for-chronol… .

I also added the definition of a dispensation from the Encyclopedia of Mormonism. What is a dispensation? “Dispensations” are … time periods in which the Lord placed on the earth…

Here is a handout I made to use during our lesson on John 6 tomorrow. The movie referenced is from BYUTV’s show on the life of Jesus Christ. I am showing just the part on the bread of life sermon. Students will watch the movie and write down things new to them or items that they learned from their study the night before.
I am planning to use this handout to help my Seminary students learn to apply the scriptures to their lives. To me, “likening” the scriptures to ourselves applies to our lives in 3 ways — applying that scripture to a past feeling or experience, a present activity , trial, temptation, or relationship, or a future activity, trial, temptation, or relationship. I’m hoping that this visual aid will help students drill…

While researching Skyped seminary, I found this old post on Early Morning Seminary at Segullah. I got really tickled. It’s always a pleasure to hear other people’s experiences in Seminary. It made me think, after a year and a half teaching Seminary now, what can I say I’ve learned? These kids know more than they’re letting on. I am constantly surprised at the quality of response that my students give…
