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.

Ask questions that encourage discussion: Meaningful class discussions occur when students interact with the teacher and with each other. Ask relevant questions that provide opportunities for multiple students to respond. You can also ask questions that invite students to respond to classmates’ comments. To learn more about how the Savior invited others to be active learners, see the section “The Savior Helped Others Take Responsibility for Their Learning” in Teaching in the Savior’s Way. You can see an example of using questions to help learners actively participate in this week’s lesson titled “Doctrine and Covenants 95.”

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)

Doctrinal Mastery Practice 7

Lesson purpose: To give students opportunities to master doctrinal mastery passages and the doctrine they teach and help them learn and apply divine principles for acquiring spiritual knowledge.

Student preparation: Invite students to select a doctrinal mastery passage they would like to memorize. Encourage them to dedicate some time to memorize the passage using the doctrinal mastery app or other resources.
Items: Small pieces of paper or cards to create flash cards
