“If Ye Are Not One Ye Are Not Mine”
Week 17 | April 21 - April 27 | Doctrine and Covenants 37–40
As the Lord Jesus Christ continued to reveal His restored Church through the Prophet Joseph, the early Saints were instructed to gather in Kirtland, Ohio, leaving behind their comfortable homes and businesses. The idea of living according to God’s way and dedicating their lives to the Lord was an exciting prospect for many of these saints. The sacrifices they made along the way were not easy, but their work still impacts our lives today through the global blessings of the gospel.

Week 16 | April 14 - April 20
The First Vision wasn’t the only time Jesus Christ appeared to the Prophet Joseph. On Easter Sunday in 1836, the Savior stood in the Kirtland temple and declared, “For behold, I have accepted this house, and my name shall be here” (D&C 110:7). For the first time in millennia, a temple of God was again on the earth.

Week 15 | April 7 - April 13 | Doctrine and Covenants 30 - 36
With our busy lives, it can be too easy to think we have to have the strength to do it all ourselves: getting kids up and ready for school, working long hours, doing laundry and dishes, making meals, planning activities, fulfilling callings, and so on. We will become burned out from life if we trust only ourselves to make everything happen.

Week 14 | March 31 - April 6 | Doctrine and Covenants 29
Between activities like school, work, and even church callings, we can easily get caught up in being so busy that we forget what it’s all for. No matter what we do for our family, what matters most is “why” we have our family: to live together forever in love and joy. Our Heavenly Father’s plan of salvation is how we can make that happen.

Week 13 | March 24 - March 30 | Doctrine and Covenants 27-28
No family is perfect. Not every situation includes two loving parents and children who always are ready to obey. Realistically, our families might look like something far from that image. However, through the teachings of modern prophets, we know the Lord wouldn’t have it any other way. Through our dedication to His restored gospel, every family, no matter the shape or size, can have eternal blessings.

Week 12 | March 17 - March 23 | Doctrine and Covenants 23-26
The establishment of the Church, while joyous, did not result in peace. Persecutions have always been the world’s reaction to gospel truths. Yet even when troubles arose, the Lord comforted His saints with peace: “Be patient in afflictions, for thou shalt have many; but… I am with thee” (D&C 24:8). Through their trials, the saints grew their faith in Jesus Christ.

Week 11 | March 10 - March 16 | Doctrine and Covenants 18
Imagine what it must have been like to witness the first sacrament meeting in the latter days. Conducted by the Prophet Joseph, the early saints met to pray, sing, partake of the sacrament, and officially organize themselves as The Church of Jesus Christ. It was a day literally centuries in the making.

Week 9 | February 24 - March 2 | Doctrine and Covenants 18
"I am a Child of God, and He has sent me here." While we know this to be the opening line to a Primary song, the doctrine taught in this sentence was a key part of the Restoration of the gospel. This divine truth was made clear even before the Church was organized when, in 1829, the Lord told the prophet Joseph to "Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God" (D&C 18:10).

Week 8 | February 17 - February 23 | Doctrine and Covenants 27-28
As the Book of Mormon was being translated, there must have been so much new information that Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery read from the gold plates: prayer, baptism, and the atonement of Christ to name just a few. Nephi's direction that all must "take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism" (2 Nephi 31:13) might have prompted questions on whether or not they should be baptized.

Week 7 | February 10 - February 16 | Doctrine and Covenants 10-11
The Lord is fully aware of our efforts to serve Him and bring about much good in the world. However, that doesn't mean everything will be easy. As we do our best to raise children in righteousness, carry out our callings, and love our neighbors as ourselves, we can be encouraged by the Lord's wisdom to "not run faster or labor more than you have strength" (D&C 10:4).

Week 6 | February 3 - February 9
We sometimes think the best way to do something is to do it ourselves. The Lord, however, wants us to work with Him in accomplishing His "great and marvelous work" (D&C 6:1). To do so, we must be humble and seek revelation to learn how we can be a part of His plan to invite all people to come unto Him.
