The gospel of Jesus Christ is often in contrast with the doctrines of the world. The wicked Zoramites had abandoned the inspired word of God for their own interpretation, neglecting the principles of faith and repentance. Their hardened hearts were not receptive to Alma’s preaching, unlike the poor Zoramites who were eager to learn how the gospel could bring them peace.
Children are likely to have hearts soft like the poor Zoramites, ready to learn and apply truths such as those taught in Alma 32-35. They have a sincere “desire to believe” (Alma 32:27) and want to discover and ask questions. As parents, we must be receptive to their need for spiritual nourishment and be prepared to teach them so the word might be planted in their hearts.

The elementary bundle is a treasure trove for kids aged 4-11, featuring activities that instill key principles. Let’s explore three highlights:
Scripture Study
See if your family can “Break the Code” for Alma 32:21. Then read the scripture together and talk about the difference between faith and having a sure knowledge of something.
Hands-On Activity
Read Alma 32:21-22 with your family. Discuss what faith is and how God first desires that we believe, then we will be blessed to increase our faith, just as we need to have faith that a seed will grow as we take care of and nourish it. Follow the instructions on the “Seed Tag” page to plant seeds and watch them grow. Teach your children to believe in God and they will see miracles!
Coloring Activity
Read Alma 34:16-17 with your family. Then, color the “Salvation to All Who Believe on His Name” coloring page as you discuss how Christ has made it possible for us to have faith that we can be forgiven because of His sacrifice for us through the atonement. He only asks that we believe and have faith in Him so He can help us gain eternal life.

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams. The toddler bundle Includes a full lesson plan with THREE activities that align with scripture written by an early childhood educator. These include a coloring page, another printable activity, and a movement activity that helps young children understand the scriptures. Here are a couple of highlights from this week’s lesson.
Hands-On Activity
Use the lesson’s printout for “Faith Snack Mats” to teach children about principles from Alma 32. Prepare by printing and laminating the mats, then gather small snacks like Cheerios or Fruit Loops. Read Alma 32:21 to your child, explaining that faith is believing in something you can’t see with your eyes, using examples like believing you’re still in the house when they can’t see you. Relate this to having faith in God and Jesus Christ. Place the snack mat in front of your child and help them count as they place a snack on each numbered space. Each mat includes a sentence about faith, a children’s song, or a scripture to discuss while they enjoy their snacks.
The toddler bundle includes a lesson plan and three activities every week. Grab the toddler bundle in our subscription.

Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers did not come after they had paid restitution or offered an apology. He forgave them the moment he realized they had changed from their jealous ways when they offered themselves in place of Benjamin for punishment. How overwhelming it must have been for Joseph to see such love amongst his brothers. His forgiveness came with no strings attached: “be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves” (Genesis 45:5).
In every moment of Joseph’s story, God was with him. From his brothers’ betrayal and serving Potiphar, to a friend of Pharaoh and the savior of his family, at no time was Joseph forgotten by God. Through the good and the bad, he trusted that God knew who he was and had faith that everything would be all right.
Abraham’s posterity was promised many blessings of eternal significance, but that didn’t mean everything would be perfect. His grandsons, Jacob and Esau, fought over who should inherit their father’s birthright. Relatives lied to and tricked each other. The prophet’s very own family was dysfunctional, yet that didn’t stop those who were righteous from striving to follow Jesus Christ.
