. Lesson 1: WHAT IS THE PRIESTHOOD?
Quote: “As we are worthy, the ordinances of the priesthood enrich our lives on earth and prepare us for the magnificent promises of the world ahead. The Lord said, “In the ordinances … the power of godliness is manifest.” – Elder Neil L. Andersen, Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Power in the Priesthood.”
• Lesson 2: WHAT ARE MY RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE WORK OF THE PRIESTHOOD?
Quote: “We lighten the loads of others best by helping the Lord strengthen them. That is why the Lord included in our charge to comfort others the command to be His witnesses at all times and in all places.”—President Henry B. Eyring, “The Comforter”
• Lesson 3: WHAT ARE THE KEYS OF THE PRIESTHOOD?
Quote: “You know something about keys. In your pocket there might be a key to your home or car. Priesthood keys, on the other hand, are intangible and invisible. They “switch on” the authority of the priesthood. Some keys even convey power to bind in heaven as well as on earth.”— Elder Russell M. Nelson, “Personal Priesthood Responsibility”
• Lesson 4: HOW DO I RECEIVE THE POWER AND BLESSINGS OF THE PRIESTHOOD?
Quote: “Our Father in Heaven is generous with His power. All men and all women have access to this power for help in their lives. All who have made sacred covenants with the Lord and who honor those covenants are eligible to receive personal revelation, to be blessed by the ministering of angels, to commune with God.”— Elder Russell M. Nelson, “Men and Women in the Work of the Lord”
The quote goes on … “to receive the fulness of the gospel, and, ultimately, to become heirs alongside Jesus Christ of all our Father.” (SOURCE: Ensign, Sept. 2014)
• Lesson 5: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SUSTAIN MY CHURCH LEADERS?
Quote: “The obligation that we make when we raise our hands . . . is a most sacred one. It does not mean that we will go quietly on our way and be willing that the prophet of the Lord shall direct this work, but it means . . . that we stand behind him; we will pray for him; we will defend his good name, and we will strive to carry out his instructions as the Lord shall direct.”—President George Albert Smith, “Sustaining Those Whom the Lord Sustains”
Come Follow Me TOPIC #1 What is the priesthood?
The priesthood is the eternal power and authority of our Heavenly Father. Through the priesthood, God created and governs the heavens and earth. Through this power, He redeems and exalts His children. He gives worthy priesthood holders authority to administer ordinances of salvation. All of Heavenly Father’s children can qualify to receive these ordinances and access the power and blessings of the priesthood.
- Prepare Yourself Spiritually (1) What do you know about the priesthood? What do you feel inspired to learn about the priesthood? (2) Do the young women see the relevance of the priesthood in their lives? What could you do before class to find out what each young woman knows about the priesthood? How might this influence what you decide to teach?
