Doctrine and Covenants 102–105

Overview

On February 24, 1834, the Prophet Joseph Smith received a revelation from the Lord, commanding him to organize volunteers to assist the suffering Saints in Missouri. The more-than-200 volunteers were known as the Camp of Israel (later Zion’s Camp) and marched over 800 miles to help the Missouri Saints reclaim their lands. After the camp arrived in Missouri, the Lord revealed to Joseph that the time for Zion’s redemption had not come, and the camp disbanded. About six months after returning to Kirtland, Ohio, Joseph organized the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and the Quorum of the Seventy. The majority of the Twelve and each member of the Seventy had marched with the Camp of Israel.

Encourage preparation for learning experiences: There are many ways students can prepare their minds and hearts to learn the gospel. Some include praying for revelation, developing a desire to learn, repenting, studying, responding to questions, and coming prepared to teach others. To learn more about this, see the section “The Savior Invited Others to Prepare to Learn” 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 105.”

Prepare to teach

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

The Camp of Israel

Lesson purpose: To help students understand that God will be with and help them when they choose to follow Him.

Student preparation: Consider inviting students to think about what may make it hard to follow Jesus Christ, and why following Him is worth the effort.

Doctrine and Covenants 105

Lesson purpose: To help students feel a greater desire to remain faithful to God when their faith is tested.

Student preparation: To help students engage in lessons, consider inviting them to pray sincerely before arriving to class. They might pray for the blessings to feel God’s love, receive help with a specific challenge, or strength to remain faithful to the Lord and His covenants.
