Come Follow Me Teaching Ideas for June 12-18, 2023 {Luke 22; John 18}

 This blogpost features some learning resources to complement the Come Follow Me reading for June 12-18, 2023.    Click here for an index and links to my CFM blogposts for other weeks.

 PRINTABLE ACTIVITY PAGE:  This activity page is geared for kids 8+, but has the coloring section that's good for all ages.   Print them double sided and get an easy 1/2 sheet activity page that's perfect for handing out in sacrament meeting or for using as an attention activity in your classrooms and families.  

 
OBJECT LESSON ABOUT TRUSTING GOD (AND HIS WILL): This cute and easy object lesson would make for a great launching point for a discussion about trusting God, which I believe is a fundamental part of "Not my will, but thine...." {Luke 22:42} I'd love to hear how it goes if you try it with your class or family.  :)

QUOTES

"Whatever questions or problems you have, the answer is always found in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Learn more about His Atonement, His love, His mercy, His doctrine, and His restored gospel of healing and progression. Turn to Him! Follow Him!" Russell M. Nelson, "The Answer is Always Jesus Christ," April 2023


"The essence of the gospel of Jesus Christ entails a fundamental and permanent change in our very nature made possible through the Savior’s Atonement. True conversion brings a change in one’s beliefs, heart, and life to accept and conform to the will of God and includes a conscious commitment to become a disciple of Christ."
  David A. Bednar,  "Converted Unto the Lord," October 2012


“If I could spiritually stretch enough to draw the Savior’s power into my life, I would know how to handle my heart-wrenching situation. I would know what to do. And I would have the power to do it.” When you reach up for the Lord’s power in your life with the same intensity that a drowning person has when grasping and gasping for air, power from Jesus Christ will be yours. When the Savior knows you truly want to reach up to Him—when He can feel that the greatest desire of your heart is to draw His power into your life—you will be led by the Holy Ghost to know exactly what you should do.21 When you spiritually stretch beyond anything you have ever done before, then His power will flow into you." Russell M. Nelson, "Drawing the Power of Jesus Christ into Our Lives," April 2017


Enjoy learning the gospel together!  💗
