Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 33 | August 12-18 | Alma 43-52

It’s not uncommon to see the “war chapters” of the Book of Mormon as a lot of verses filled with battles and lacking spiritual significance. However, some of the strongest examples of faith and belief in Jesus Christ in the scriptures come from these ten chapters. Nowhere else is the consequence of wickedness and the fate of the righteous more apparent than in Alma 43-52. 

If we look carefully, we can see similarities between Captain Moroni and people we respect in our own lives. Characteristics of faith in God, trust in others, compassion for the meek, and standing up for the rights of everyone are essential to becoming a true follower of Jesus Christ. These traits were essential for surviving spiritually in this violent part of Nephite history and are exactly what is needed for surviving spiritually today. For if all of us were more like Moroni, “the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men” (Alma 48:17).

Toddler Bundle Lessons & Activities​

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams.

This week, we’ll be sharing the gospel with your little ones using the activity book in the Elementary Bundle. Be sure to use the activity book for younger children (Level 1, Recommended for ages 3-6). Print your activity book pages, then cut all of them in half, except the cover. You will fold the cover in half to help keep the pages together. Put all your pages in order inside the cover and then staple along the left-hand edge. Make one book for each of your children.

We recommend spreading your time between the activity pages over the week instead of trying to do them all at one time. This will help your toddler not get burned out and give them something fun to look forward to each day! You will have fun coloring, designing armor, counting with dot-to-dots, racing, drawing and more! Read or summarize the chapters for the day and then assist your child in completing the corresponding pages in their activity book.

The toddler bundle includes a lesson plan and three activities every week. Grab the toddler bundle in our subscription.

“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. As the saints gathered from Missouri to build this new city, many were sick and still reeling from the harsh persecution they had suffered. 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)

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.”
