Introduction - Welcome and discussion about the object lesson recommended last week. (0:00 - 1:39) Mormon 7 - We can focus on the Savior in difficult times. Mormon 7:5-7 have students look for all the amazing things Moroni emphasized about Jesus Christ despite the difficult times he lived in. Which of these truths would lift people when times are difficult? Joseph Smith Quote, happiness is the object... you could share and brief discussion activity. Also, RM Nelson quote happiness versus joy? You might ask, when are some times when you have felt the joy the Savior offers? And how did that time bring you closer to Christ? (1:40 - 6:03) Mormon 8:1-26 - The worth of the Book of Mormon. Feeling the importance of the Book of Mormon in your life is directly connected with feeling the importance of Jesus Christ in your life. Elder Alvarado's story, man steals woman's Book of Mormon and finds Christ. Joseph Smith once mistakenly sought the plates for personal wealth and was shocked. Activity, challenge your class to write their testimony and share it with a friend. Value of the Book of Mormon. (6:04 - 10:58) Mormon 8:27-41; 91-6, 27-37 - One way to introduce the lesson is talk about someone who helped you be prepared for something (I share an example). Two key verses Mormon 8:34-35. How can we avoid being the person who is unprepared for the Second Coming? Understanding Jesus Christ's character, helping us prepare for His return. ET Benson quote, they saw our day. Book of Mormon study strategy, why did the inspired writer include this or that in the Book of Mormon? Why is it relevant for us in our day? (10:59 - 14:46) Mormon 9:7-27 - Relevance could be seeking to identify the miracles in your life. RA Rasband quote 1; quote 2; quote 3. Suggested questions, How many of you believe that you have witnessed a miracle or know someone that has witnessed a miracle? What did this miracle teach you about God? Was it big or small? Why do you think magnitude does not distinguish a miracle? What is a miracle you would like to see in your life? What do you think is one of the most important miracles that could happen in a teenagers life? DH Oaks quote about a mighty change of heart. Look for what Mormon said we need to do to have miracles happen in our lives. Concluding recommendation on a way to not get bogged down with feeling students have to answer every question. (14:36 - 19:22) Doctrinal Mastery Review 23 - memorizing with flash cards to quiz your partner, then play a game of slap jack. Variety can energize the class. A little bit of fun can go a long way. Be careful not to over emphasize memorization, but not neglect it either. (19:23 - 21:15) Conclusion - Thank you for being here with us. Check the notes for a summary of the video or podcast.
