Armed with Righteousness and with the Power of God Main Ideas

I want to start by sharing the main ideas for each of the different classes and home teaching. I like to share these because they will help you know what is being asked of you as a teacher or parent. They are the main topics from the Come Follow Me book. I also think they will help you feel inspired to share your own ideas and insights if you know the concepts you have been asked to share with your classes or families.

Question and Prompt Pages

The first tool I have for you this week for primary and Sunday school is your Question and Prompt pages. I talk about these every week. But if you are new here let me introduce you! These are the backbone of your lesson. Take these with you to class and use them as a guide to help you teach your class. These Q&P pages are actual questions and prompts with scripture references you can use in class. Start from the top and work your way through the whole lesson. They are designed to be engaging and really help you dive into what main ideas are being taught this week! Enjoy!

Family Ideas for Jan 20-26 Come Follow Me Lesson

This week for families I have a simple activity to do that will help you teach your family about being Armed with Righteousness and power. I created a set of illustrations of armor. You will give one set to each member of your family (or work on one together) you will then read 1st Nephi 14:12-1. Using the instruction page provided ask your families several questions pertaining to being armed with righteousness. Then you will write on the back of each piece of armor how you can be armed with righteousness and power. This idea comes from the following idea in CFM:

1 Nephi 14:12–15

Why are we “armed with righteousness and with the power of God” when we live true to our covenants with God?

Primary Lesson 1st Nephi 11-15 ideas for teachers

Next I will share the primary idea for the week. This week in primary I have a really special set of pictures I created. These are pictures that illustrate important events in the Saviors life. Starting with his birth and leading to his body on the cross. As you read 1st Nephi 11: 20, 24, 27, 31 and 33 have your class find the verse that correlates the pictures provided. These are events that Nephi learned Christ would do during his life. You can then pull this idea full circle and ask your class: “What has the savior done in your life?”

Sunday School Lesson Ideas Armed with Righteousness and Power of God

Lastly, I have a lesson idea for Sunday school teachers. I like to create interactive worksheets that really teach a single core principle for the week. This week I have chosen:

The Book of Mormon Teaches Plain and Precious Truths

I felt that this was an important topic and wanted to help bring this subject in to full view for your class. This is a set of 3 work pages. One is a quote from President Russel M. Nelson that is incredible. It lists the different ideas refuted by Th Book of Mormon. Bringing clarity to words we find in the Bible. Its so powerful and will lead an great discussion with your class as you work through the questions I have added to work pages in conjunction to this quotation by our prophet.
