Doctrine and Covenants 41–44

Overview

The Lord taught that He delights to bless those who hear Him (see Doctrine and Covenants 41:1). As the Saints responded and prayed in faith, He revealed His law and commandments, including the law of consecration.

Assist learners in recognizing the Lord’s influence: Invite students to identify truths in the scriptures that teach how the Savior can influence their lives, offering healing, and giving them strength. For more on how the Savior did this, see “Help Learners Recognize the Lord’s Love, Power, and Mercy in Their Lives,” in Teaching in the Savior’s Way. An example of how you can practice this is included in the lesson this week titled “Doctrine and Covenants 41.”

Prepare to teach

The following information provides you with ideas of what you may need to prepare in advance for each lesson.
