Doctrine and Covenants 67–70

Overview

In November 1831, at a special conference in Hiram, Ohio, the elders of the Church decided to publish a collection of the revelations received by Joseph Smith. When some elders were hesitant to testify that the revelations came from the Lord, He revealed Doctrine and Covenants 67. In addition, four of the elders asked Joseph Smith to inquire of the Lord about His will for them. The Prophet received a revelation now recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 68. It includes counsel that parents teach their children the principles and ordinances of the gospel.

Know each learner’s circumstances: Every student has different experiences and relationships that influence the way they think and feel about gospel truths. Seek to understand each student and their situation. As you prepare lessons and as students participate in the lesson, think about the different variables that may affect how students react to the lesson. For more on how the Savior did this, see the section titled “The Savior Knows Us and Understands Our Circumstances, Needs, and Strengths” in Teaching in the Savior’s Way. You can also see an example of how to do this in this week’s lesson titled “Doctrine and Covenants 68:25–31.”

Prepare to teach

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

Doctrine and Covenants 67

Lesson purpose: To help increase students’ confidence that the Lord can speak to us through prophets and that the Doctrine and Covenants is His word.

Student preparation: Invite students to think about how confident they feel that the Lord speaks to us through prophets and that the Doctrine and Covenants is the word of the Lord. They could ponder experiences that have impacted their testimonies of this as well as any concerns that might hinder their beliefs.

Doctrine and Covenants 68:25–31

Lesson purpose: To help students better understand the Lord’s command for parents to teach their children the gospel at home.

Student preparation: Consider inviting students to think about how they have learned the gospel so far in their lives. Then invite them to consider what they would do similarly or differently when teaching the gospel to their own children.
