(Can I ask a favor please? If you use these activity sheets or
teaching ideas, PLEASE leave a comment and let me know. I spend a lot
of time pulling these together and I'm trying to determine if they're
worth my time continuing forward. )
PRINTABLE ACTIVITY SHEET: These printable activity sheets are designed to be printed 2 to a page (double-sided). They make for good reviews or discussion starters in your classes or families. In our ward, they are handed out with the sacrament programs and many kids, teens, and even adults enjoy them.
TEACHING IDEA:
This video is a little cheesy, but I feel like it does a great job at teaching about what discipleship actually is {Romans 12-16}. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2s4KuhrSZY
IDEA #2 (directly taken from the Don't Miss This podcast--start at 29:31):
Romans 16 is Paul telling different people what he loves and respects about them. After reading some of these scriptures, go around your family or class, person by person, and tell them something good you see in them. I imagine it would be a very memorable and meaningful experience and a great way to tie the scriptures to their real lives.
QUOTE(S):
“The pain of sacrifice lasts only one moment. It is the fear of the pain of sacrifice that makes you hesitate to do it. Be grateful for every opportunity to serve. It helps you more than those you serve...Finally, when you are compelled to give up something or when things that are dear to you are withdrawn from you, know that this is your lesson to be learned right now. But also know that while you are learning this lesson, God wants to give you something better.” Enzio Busche, "Unleashing the Dormant Spirit," 1996
“The day is gone when you can be a quiet and comfortable Christian. Your religion is not just about showing up for church on Sunday. It is about showing up as a true disciple from Sunday morning through Saturday night. … There is no such thing as a ‘part-time’ disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Russell M. Nelson, "BYU Commencement Address," 2014

HAVE FUN LEARNING THE GOSPEL TOGETHER!!!!
Hello, I have found these a few months back and then couldn't find them again until tonight! I absolutely love them. You definitely put a lot of work into this. I appreciate it. My primary love them because we talk about them and they bring home to do it during the week. The kids asked for them again so I am glad I found them. Thank you!
