Doctrine and Covenants 94–97

Overview

In late December 1832, the Lord commanded the Saints to build a temple in Kirtland, Ohio. By June 1833, they had not started construction. The Lord chastened His people and reaffirmed His command to build His house. When leaders of the Church in Missouri asked Joseph Smith for instructions, the Lord also commanded them to build a temple.

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 95

Lesson purpose: To help students feel an increased desire to worship the Lord in His temple.

Student preparation: Invite students to write in their journals about how the Lord has blessed them through their knowledge of temples. This will prepare them to share experiences with the class.
Handout: “Sacrifices Made to Build the Kirtland Temple”
Video: “Temples Are a Beacon” (2:50)

Doctrine and Covenants 97

Lesson purpose: To help students become pure in heart.

Student preparation: Invite students to ponder their answers to one or more of the temple recommend questions in the appendix of For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices ([booklet, 2022], 36–37). This can help them prepare to learn about purity.
Items: A glass or bottle of pure water and copies of or access to For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices
Video: “I Love to See the Temple,” (16:13; watch from time code 7:34 to 8:46)

Items: Small pieces of paper or cards to create flash cards
