Doctrine and Covenants 111–114

Overview

In 1836, the Church was deeply in debt. The Prophet Joseph Smith and other Church leaders traveled to Salem, Massachusetts, where they hoped to obtain money to pay the debt. While in Salem, Joseph received the revelation recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 111. In 1837, Thomas B. Marsh, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, sought direction about his calling from Joseph Smith.

Focus on Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ: The greatest blessing teachers can give students is to help them come to know and love Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. As you prepare and teach lessons, seek inspiration on how to do this. To learn more about this, see the section “Teach about the Titles, Roles, and Attributes of Jesus Christ” 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 111.”

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