Armed with Righteousness and with the Power of God

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 5 | January 20 - January 26

The main lesson for this week is going to be so much fun! You get to talk about superheros and play a superhero board game! First, start the lesson discussing what your family has learned from the assigned reading, 1 Nephi 11-15. Consider reading the opening paragraph in the manual on page 14. Discuss how God has a great work for us to do and in order to help with His Great work we need to be armed with righteousness. How can we do this? What does that look like in our daily lives? You can use the wiggle songs listed on the summary sheet to break up the discussion.

Then play the Superhero Board Game. As you play it will reinforce things we can be doing to have the power of God with us. Let each child wear a superhero badge as you play (have these prepared before hand).

After you play the game complete the superhero picture frames and display them all week to remind your family of what you have learned.

There are some really great bonus activities this week. 

Complete the love coloring page and then sit in a circle as a family. Let each member of the family say one thing they love about all the other members of your family.

This week in your materials is a scripture marking guide. See your summary sheet for a fun activity and discussion to do with your family before the scripture marking guide.

Read 1 Nephi 11:16-33 and talk about how God loved us so much that He sent his Son. Use the song chart provided to sing or learn the song “He Sent His Son.”

“A Voice of Gladness for the Living and the Dead”

Even during the early years in Nauvoo, there were times when the Prophet Joseph still had to flee for his life from those who sought to stop the work. Yet even in hiding, he continued to keep his focus on the restoration of the gospel, specifically with baptisms for the dead. “That subject seems to occupy my mind, and press itself upon my feelings the strongest, since I have been pursued by my enemies” (Doctrine and Covenants 128:1). No matter what trials he faced, Joseph never forgot his calling to restore Christ’s Church.

“A House Unto My Name”

Building the city of Nauvoo was not the first time the Saints had to begin again, but it was the first time they could start new from the ground up.

The Prophet Joseph administered to the saints, healing them both physically and spiritually. Through His Prophet, the Lord promised the saints that, “If ye labor with all your might, I will consecrate that spot that it shall be made holy” (Doctrine and Covenants 124:44)

“O God, Where Are Thou?”

The recent passing of President Russell M. Nelson brings to memory his last conference talk, where he quoted verses from this week’s section: Doctrine and Covenants 121. President Nelson referenced D&C 121:45, where the Lord shares that having confidence “in the presence of God” comes from having charity and virtue. Additionally, we’re told that if we have charity and virtue, we will have a greater understanding of “the doctrine of the priesthood.”
