January: How Can I Help Others Learn About Heavenly Father?

All Printables and Videos can be found HERE

1. Introduction

  • Follow up on any challenges from last week. 
  • What have you learned about the Godhead? Has anything stood out to you? Surprised you? Do you have any questions so far?
  • Display topic
  • What must we do before we can help others learn about Heavenly Father?
  • Have the class answer the question "What do we believe about Heavenly Father?" on the worksheet?
    • Discuss what they wrote down.
  • Read the quotes from True to the Faith and Preach My Gospel
2. Learn Together
  • Once we have an understanding of what we believe in, how can we help others learn about Heavenly Father?
  • Based on where the discussion went I have both of these videos ready to watch. 

3. Likening the Scriptures
  • We can follow the examples of those who taught in the scriptures. 
  • Split the class into two. Have half of the class study Alma 30:12-15 to find reasons why Korihor did not believe in God. The other half of the class will study Alma 30:37-53 to find reasons why Alma did believe in God.
    • Have the class share
  • (Depending on time, you could have the class do this activity on their own or have each youth read a couple of scriptures.) What can we learn from Ammon and Aaron? How did they help King Lamoni and his father learn about God?
    • Ask the youth to share.
4. Making it Personal
  • How could help a friend who is unsure of the existence of God?
  • How can they apply what they have learned when they have opportunities to explain their beliefs about God?
  • Challenge the class to have a conversation with someone about their beliefs... Even if it is as simple as Pres. Uchtdorf's conversations from the video.
5. If it is the last week of the month next week, remind class to bring their scripture study chart to class next time to enter the drawing.

    1. Hi Kim, thanks for checking back for February's lessons! I just posted one. This is my first year teaching Sunday School, so you will have to bear with me since I will be posting them as I prepare my lesson for the week.
