Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 14 | April 1-7 | Jacob 1-4

Step into the shoes of the prophet Jacob as he teaches the importance of genealogy and covenant keeping to his people, the Nephites. Jacob was a prophet who truly understood the role of families in God’s plan of happiness, and he did all he could to help the Nephites understand their individual role in bringing their families to Christ together. 

This week’s lesson helps children learn their role in God’s plan for your family. With an emphasis on genealogy and growing our faith, these activities will inspire testimonies within your home.

Knowing from Faith

Hands-On Activity

Begin by reading Jacob 4:6 together. Talk about what Jacob taught and how we can gain hope and unshakeable faith: searching the words of the prophets and gaining a testimony of them.

Family Books

Coloring Activity

Print, cut and staple the mini books before the lesson begins. Gather any family photos you have from around your house, family history books or albums and place them on the table. Teach your family about who is in the photos, books, etc. Next, read aloud Jacob 1:2-3. Afterwards, show your little ones that just like Jacob wrote down his life and family stories, we can, too! Then hand out the family history mini-book to each child and read it together. Let your children color as you put the book together. Reread it again during the week.

“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.
