. . . JESUS CHRIST LEADS US . . .

Acts 1:1–82:37–394:1–13, 31–33

Jesus Christ directs His Church through the Holy Ghost.

  • Reading about the experiences of the Apostles can help your class members see how they can receive power and guidance from the Holy Ghost in their Church callings and assignments. One way to review the experiences in Acts 1–5 would be to write on the board The Holy Ghost helped the Apostles lead the Church by: and then invite class members to search Acts 1:1–82:37–39; and 4:1–1331–33, looking for ways to finish the sentence. Class members could then share experiences in which the Holy Ghost helped them in these ways. Why did the Apostles need the Holy Ghost—and why do we need Him?

YOUTH LESSON ACTIVITY. REVELATION ROUTES puzzle poster. Youth can know who receives revelation: THEY can receive revelation for their own lives. PARENTS can receive revelation for their children. TEACHERS and leaders receive revelation on how to teach and lead. BISHOPS receive revelation for the whole ward. The living PROPHET receives revelation for the entire Church (D&C 28).  READ MORE

YOUTH LESSON ACTIVITY. HONOR Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost WORSHIP WORD FIND. Youth can learn the roles of the Godhead as they search for words in the border to fill in the blanks. The words are written backward to make it more of a challenge. Race to fill it out; then talk about the importance of each role.  READ MORE

. . . CALLING JESUS’S 12 . . .

Acts 1:15–26

The Apostles of Jesus Christ are called by God through revelation.

  • Consider inviting class members to explain how a business might go about choosing a replacement for an executive position. What qualifications might they look for? Ask class members to contrast this with how the Apostle Matthias was called (see Acts 1:15–26; see also 1 Samuel 16:1–13) and with President Gordon B. Hinckley’s words in “Additional Resources” describing how Apostles are called today. How does God’s method for choosing leaders affect our faith in the leaders He has called? Class members could share how they have gained a witness that today’s apostles and prophets are called by Him.

    Additional Resources

    The calling of a member of the Twelve.

    Gordon B. Hinckley shared the following insights about the process of calling a new Apostle: “The procedure is peculiar to the Lord’s church. There is no seeking for office, no jockeying for position, no campaigning to promote one’s virtues. Contrast the Lord’s way with the way of the world. The Lord’s way is quiet, it is a way of peace, it is without fanfare or monetary costs. It is without egotism or vanity or ambition. Under the Lord’s plan, those who have responsibility to select officers are governed by one overriding question: ‘Whom would the Lord have?’ There is quiet and thoughtful deliberation. And there is much of prayer to receive the confirmation of the Holy Spirit that the choice is correct” (“God Is at the Helm,” Ensign, May 1994, 53).

SCRIPTURE MEMORIZATION. “ASK GOD” Moroni 10:4-5  scripture poster. Moroni engraved this PROMISE on gold plates that he gave to Joseph Smith hundreds of years later, called The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ. Christ visited Moroni’s people the Nephites. We are to “ask God” and “he will manifest the truth of it” “by the power of the Holy Ghost.”  READ MORE

. . . LIVING & SHARING THE GOSPEL . . .

Acts 2:37–47

The Holy Ghost inspires us to act on what we learn.

  • As class members study the scriptures at home and together in class each week, they may often feel “pricked in their heart” (Acts 2:37). You may feel inspired to help them go a step further by asking, “What shall we do?” (Acts 2:37). Read Acts 2:37–47 together, inviting class members to search for things this group of 3,000 people did as a result of Peter’s invitation. Maybe they could also share ways they have acted on inspiration from their study of the word of God. Then you might reserve time at the end of class for each person to ask themselves the question “What shall I do?” and record their impressions.

    Acts 34:1–215:12–42

    As we are filled with the Holy Ghost, we can share the gospel with boldness.

    • Class members could review Acts 34:1–215:12–42, looking for examples of Peter testifying boldly. Or they could watch one of the following videos: “Peter Preaches and Is Arrested,” “Peter and John Are Judged,” or “Peter and John Continue Preaching the Gospel” (ChurchofJesusChrist.org). What does it mean to speak “the word of God with boldness”? (Acts 4:31). How does the Holy Ghost help us share the gospel boldly? How is this kind of boldness different from being contentious? Class members might have experiences to share in which they, or someone they know, boldly defended or testified of the gospel.

YOUTH LESSON ACTIVITY. STAND AS A WITNESS – WHO IS ABINADI? Prophet poster. Youth can fill in the story as they learn how this bold, brave Book of Mormon Prophet Abinadi testified that Jesus Christ would come to redeem the world. King Noah and his wicked priests would not listen (except the Priest Alma). They tried to stop him from testifying but they were stopped through divine power.  READ MORE

POST-AND-PRESENT ACTIVITY. DON’T BOTTLE-UP YOUR TESTIMONY Share it! spin-the-bottle. Youth can learn how to build a strong belief in the gospel and testify of truth. They can spin to find the topic and then share their beliefs on the topic. Also, great for Discussion Starters; Scripture Chase; and Table Talk.  READ MORE
