Discussion and Application Questions

Study the following questions and the scripture references as you prepare your lesson. Use the questions you feel will best help the children understand the scriptures and apply the principles in their lives. Reading the references with the children in class will help them gain insights into the scriptures.

• Why wouldn’t the people of Ammonihah listen to Alma? (Alma 8:9.) What did Alma do to try to soften the hearts of the people? (Alma 8:10.)

• What do you think you would have done if you had experienced what Alma did when he first went to Ammonihah? (Alma 8:13–14.) Why did the angel tell Alma to rejoice? (Alma 8:15.) How do you feel when you have obeyed Heavenly Father’s commandments?

• When was the first time this angel had been sent with a message for Alma? (Point out the footnote for the word delivered in Alma 8:15, and then have someone read Mosiah 27:11–16.) Briefly review how Alma had repented and become an obedient servant of Heavenly Father (see lesson 14).
