Alma the Younger teaching

After you’ve studied the scripture passages for this week and reviewed the questions and activities in the manual, consider sharing any of the following articles and activities with your family. These additional resources can assist you as you strive to teach the gospel in your home.

Alma 32:27–43; 33:22–23

Planting and Nourishing the Word

Alma invites us to plant the word of God in our hearts. He testifies that it will grow if we put forth the effort to nourish it. As the seed grows, so does our faith.

Articles

  • “Partaking of the Fruit.” This Ensign article offers a closer look at the context and meaning of Alma’s discourse about planting and nourishing the word.

  • “From Seed to Tree.” In this New Era article, a youth shares her experience of gaining a testimony—slowly, but surely, like a seed growing—by reading the scriptures.

  • “Testimony Plants.” In this Friend story, Elisa learns that she can grow her testimony by doing simple things to learn about Jesus.

Activities

  • “Testimony Art Show.” Use this activity from the Ensign series “Family Study Fun” to help your family understand more about nourishing our testimonies.

  • “Alma Compared the Word to a Seed.” Print out this coloring page from the Scripture Stories Coloring Book series for a fun activity that will teach your children more about how the word of God is like a seed.
