“I Can Grow My Own Testimony”

Jun1

FHE Lesson — “I Can Grow My Own Testimony”      Principle: Testimony

“A testimony is a conviction, a quiet inward certainty of the reality of the living God, of the divinity of His Beloved Son, of the restoration of Their work in this time. It demands that we do what He has asked us to do.” ~Gordon B. Hinckley

Video Clip –  Alma and the Zoramites chapter 6

Plant seeds of faith and watch testimonies grow!

Help plant seeds of faith in your children with this testimony building clip from The Animated Book of Mormon ALMA AND THE ZORAMITES DVD!

Activity — The Word is a Seed

As these spiritual flowers grow,  your family’s testimonies will grow, also!

In this fun The WORD is a SEED activity, family members take turns choosing a petal or leaf, reading the testimony growing words (with help if necessary) on it, then answering the question to create spiritual flowers to help testimonies grow.

Recipe — Dirt Cake

Your family will love digging into this rich chocolate treat!

The soft, moist “dirt” made from Oreo-style cookies is the foundation for this delicious DIRT CAKE  recipe and for planting the flowers from “The Word is a Seed” activity.

May25

“Our willingness to take upon us the name of Christ and keep His commandments requires a degree of faith and as we honor our covenants that faith expands.” ~D. Todd Christofferson


Video Clip–Lazarus Lives chapters 11-12

“Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God…” (John 11:27)

Your family’s faith in Jesus Christ will be strengthened as you watch the clip from
“LAZARUS LIVES” DVD as you witness the faith that both Mary and Martha had in Jesus,

You will have ‘a perfect brightness of hope’ (2 Ne. 31:20).”
~Thomas S. Monson

Your children will love plucking the VEGGIE TREES up by the roots and planting them in this
savory SEA (DIP)! After dipping veggies coat with the sunflower seeds for an extra yummy treat.

Cowgirls ‘N Angels

We have just learned of a new family film being released on Friday. This is a limited released film which will be in 16 theaters in Utah and only a total of 60 theaters nation wide. If it builds it will go into more theaters nation wide.

Some of the investors in this film helped make “The Swan Princess” films possible because they believed in sponsoring and supporting wholesome family entertainment. We will always remember their kindness in making “The Swan Princess” possible.  We would like to help them have a success with this touching family film “Cowgirls ‘N Angels.” We encourage all who can to see this film this weekend to help it build momentum to go into much wider circulation.  Good family films are rare and if we give them support there will be more produced. Thanks for your continual support for Living Scriptures.  Please extend your support to see “Cowgirls ‘N Angels” this weekend.

Sincerely,
Jared F Brown

I WILL BE BAPTIZED LIKE JESUS

May11

FHE Lesson — “I Will Be Baptized Like Jesus”    Principles: Baptism

“After we come out of the waters of baptism, our souls need to be continuously immersed in and saturated with the truth and the light of the Savior’s gospel. Sporadic and shallow dipping in the doctrine of Christ and partial participation in His restored Church cannot produce the spiritual transformation that enables us to walk in a newness of life. Rather, fidelity to covenants, constancy of commitment and offering our whole soul unto God are required if we are to receive the blessings of eternity.” ~David A. Bednar

Video Clip–John the Baptist chapter 10

“This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matt. 3:17)

Whether preparing for baptism or renewing baptismal covenants, this clip from JOHN THE BAPTIST will inspire your family’s desire to please Heavenly Father by following in Christ’s footsteps!

Activity–Baptized Like Jesus

Baptism by immersion.

During this fun BAPTISM ACTIVITY your family will learn by discussion and demonstration how we are baptized by immersion like Jesus!

 

Treat Recipe–Short Bread Immersion Cookies

Completely immersed!

Demonstrate baptism by immersion with, scrumptious, melt in your mouth, Short Bread IMMERSION COOKIES, that are even yummier when dunked in a cold glass of milk.

Modern-Day Goliaths

Apr27

FHE Lesson — “Modern Day Goliaths”    Principles: Faith & Being True

“Because of David’s faith in God, Goliath was slain and Israel prevailed. Noble youth are faced constantly with modern-day Goliaths in the form of temptations that would cause us to violate our covenants and the standards the Lord has given us. Live your life in such a way that when you are faced with a choice between good and evil and when deep inside you can hear the question, ‘Who’s on the Lord’s side?’—you will be prepared to answer with all your strength, ‘I am!’” ~Charles W. Dahlquist II

“We have the gospel of Jesus Christ, the gospel of peace, the gospel of joy. We have truths that can make any person better and more fulfilled, any marriage happier and sweeter, any home more heavenly. Yes, it is to ourselves, our homes, our quorums, our classes, our Church assignments that we must carry more energetically those things that we have received. We must lengthen our stride and must do it now.” ~Spencer W. Kimball

Did Jesus Really Live Again?

Mar30

FHE Lesson — “Did Jesus Really Live Again?”    Principle: Resurrection

“All of us will die. But that will not be the end…just as He took up His body and came forth from the tomb, even so shall all of us enjoy a reunion of body and spirit to become living souls in the day of our own ‘resurrection’. Jesus made it possible for us to be resurrected like he was. This means that each of us will live again after we die.” ~Gordon B. Hinckley

Video Clip–He is Risen chapter 10

“Because He died, all shall live again!”

The sorrow of death is softened with the promise of the Resurrection! As you watch the clip from HE IS RISEN, feel the sorrow that Mary felt that first Easter morning when the tomb was emptied; then rejoice with her as she sees and speaks with the risen Lord.

Activity–Did Jesus Really Live Again?

“Yes, when the third day came…”

Read the lyrics from the Primary song DID JESUS REALLY LIVE AGAIN? and discuss the corresponding scriptures while building a mobile to help your children better understand the meaning and significance of the resurrection.

“The angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone.” (Matt. 28:2)

Where Can I Get the He is Risen DVD for My Family?

*Reflect on the Easter miracle from Matthew 27–28; Mark 15–16; Luke 23–24; John 19–21; and Acts 1.

Derrick
