General Thoughts: This is a fantastic sermon! So don't fall into the trap of retelling the sermon.  The talk includes references to Mark 2:1-12. You may want to consider finding Come Follow Me resources about these chapters to further inform your lesson preparation You could focus on the 4 individuals who carry the man stricken with palsy. If you do so you could invite the class to process who the...

General Thoughts: Don't stay on the surface of forgiveness. Forgiveness is more complicated than a simple commandment. The instructor needs to take 5-10 minutes warming up the class so that they are willing to share personal stories of forgiveness during the class.  Don't share Sister Yee's stories; share personal stories from your own life or from people in the class.  Warm Up: Use the prime the...

If you reference the temple garment, make it about the doctrines connected to the temple garment.  Good "teaching doctrine example" Warm Up: Hav...

General Observations: She packs a lot into each paragraph so don't move the class to quickly through each paragraph. This is the importance of only picking one specific doctrine to consider during the class (maybe two). Create a lot of time for the class to digest the content.  Warm Up: Upside down glasses Buy or ask if someone in your ward owns it Doesn't the world seem upside down sometimes?  Bl...

Warmup: Start with a basic question to get everyone talking Engagement Activity: Find 3-5 paragraphs and invite them to digest the content in groups of 2-4. Questions: How does sobering news impact you? Why is feeling love from Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ vital? How do overwhelm and exhaustion typically show up for you? What does rest through Jesus Christ look like? Have you ever had a season...
