Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 38 | September 15-21 | Doctrine and Covenants 102-105

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).

The blessings for those who followed the Prophet Joseph continued through the time of peace in Nauvoo and readied them for the trek west to the Salt Lake Valley. We can also be blessed by the choice to follow the prophet, such as heeding President Russell M. Nelson’s recent counsel to have charity and virtue in our homes. When we follow the prophet, we trust in the Lord.

I Can Keep The Commandments

Show a picture of Jesus Christ. Explain that Jesus wants us to keep the commandments.

Discuss some of the ways we can keep the commandments and read D&C 104:42. With your child, complete the I Can Keep the Commandment puzzle. Help your child glue or tape each piece into place, making the heart shape. Place the completed heart puzzle next to the picture of Jesus. Share your testimony of when you kept the commandments and felt Jesus’ love for you. Then, end by singing “I Feel My Savior’s Love.”

“I Will Order All Things for Your Good”

Have you ever had a powerful spiritual experience and felt the joy of God’s love, only to feel down again when normal life resumes? Or an hour where your children were seemingly perfect and kind to one another, but the rest of the day was awful? This might have been how the early saints felt by the end of the year following the dedication of the Kirtland Temple. Life itself didn’t get easier with the temple’s completion. Financial troubles and increased persecution made enduring to the end difficult for many saints. Yet those who persevered were blessed not only with strength but also with direction on how they could be a blessing to God’s children even amidst their own trials. The Lord’s comforting words to them are extended to us today as we also can help others feel loved during our own struggles: “Let thy heart be of good cheer before my face… for I, the Lord, have a great work for thee to do” (D&C 112:4,6).

“It Is Thy House, a Place of Thy Holiness”

March 27, 1836, was a special date both on earth and in heaven. For the first time since 70 AD, a temple of God was available for men and women to worship in. Many saints who were present for the dedication saw angels celebrating the return of temple blessings to the world. The Lord Jesus Christ shared His own joy of the temple’s completion in Doctrine and Covenants 110:6-7, when he said, “let the hearts of all my people rejoice, who have, with their might, built this house to my name. For behold, I have accepted this house…”.

“The Order of the Son of God”

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is organized according to the Lord’s instructions, as detailed in this week’s reading in the Doctrine and Covenants. One of the ways we can apply the Lord’s guidance in these sections to our families is to establish councils within our homes. We should, with our children, “sit in council with them, and to teach them their duty, edifying one another” (D&C 107:85).
