Doctrine and Covenants 106–108

Overview

Just as He did in New Testament times, Jesus Christ has called prophets, apostles, and others to lead His Church today and bear witness of Him throughout the world. In Doctrine and Covenants 107, Jesus explains the role of these chosen leaders and provides details to help them and others fulfill their priesthood responsibilities.

Use the words of prophets to emphasize doctrine and principles: Living prophets and apostles teach, explain, and expound the doctrine and principles taught in the holy scriptures. Using prophetic words can help students better understand and live the gospel of Jesus Christ. For more on how the Savior did this, see the section “The Savior Taught from the Scriptures” 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 107:1–20.”

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 107:1–20

Lesson purpose: To help students understand the importance of drawing upon the power of the Savior and His priesthood authority as they serve in His Church.

Student preparation: Invite students to reflect on moments they have felt the Savior’s power helping them serve in His Church. This could include callings in their quorums and classes or ministering assignments.

Doctrine and Covenants 107:21–100

Lesson purpose: To help students feel increased confidence that the Apostles are special witnesses of Jesus Christ.

Student preparation: Share with students that prophets and apostles have been called to be special witnesses of Jesus Christ (see Doctrine and Covenants 107:23). Invite them to prepare for class by reviewing a recent general conference address from a member of the First Presidency or Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Instruct them to look for what they teach about Jesus Christ.
Materials: Six cups that could be stacked into a pyramid

Materials for students: Printed copies of recent conference addresses or other recent statements from Apostles for students who can’t access them electronically

Doctrinal Mastery Practice 8

Lesson purpose: To help students apply truths found in doctrinal mastery passages and learn and apply divine principles for acquiring spiritual knowledge.

Student preparation: Invite students to explain from memory to a friend or family member each of the three principles of acquiring spiritual knowledge. If any principles are difficult to remember, invite students to use the Doctrinal Mastery Core Document (2023) to review them before class.
Materials: Small pieces of paper for each student; a container for the teacher to place the papers in
