Be Thou an Example of the Believers

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 45 | October 28 - November 3

The past few lessons have been epistles from Paul to all of the saints. This week we are reading in 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon and get to study the words of Paul to individuals who were leaders of the church. Read the introductory paragraph on page 166 in the manual to expound on this. 

Begin the lesson by talking about who the leader of your ward is. We have provided a fun charades game to play to learn more about the roles of the Bishop. The kids can also do the Bishop coloring page and draw in the face to look like their Bishop.

As a family read 1 Timothy 4:10-16. Use the example scramble to help teach the importance of being a good example.

We recommend listening to the audio of 2 Timothy chapter 3 on the Gospel Library app. Discuss as a family what you learn from these scriptures. Use the Halloween bag and treats activity to talk about the wickness that Paul prophesied about and how we can “be an example of the believers.” Put the candy in the corresponding bag. Be sure to follow the directions on how to glue and cut the bags so the candy can go inside.

A couple of the bonus ideas this week includes “The scriptures will help me learn the truth” page to help teach about the importance of scriptures and a Mystery Scripture Story marking guide for an additional way to study 2 Timothy chapter 3.

“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).
