Lesson 29: "Give Ear to My Words"

Alma 36-39

Three Sons

36-37: Heleman
38: Shiblon
39: Corianton

Questions for the week:

What is the best advice or counsel your parents ever gave you? Why was this advice or counsel so valuable?

Why do you think Alma shared his conversion story with his sons? How have you benefited from hearing about how other people have become converted?

(Please keep it spiritual in nature - nothing flippant - thanks!)

Lesson 28: Notes and Thoughts

I've tried with this week's lesson to steer it around the "obvious" lesson around basing it entirely on the very wonderful sermon on faith that Alma delivers in Alma 32.

In preparing the lesson, I discovered that in the first edition of the Book of Mormon, Alma chapters 30-35 were all one chapter (Chapter 16). You can view the first edition yourself here:

This was really the "seed" for this week's lesson. I felt that I should concentrate on bringing out what Alma and Amulek were really there to focus on.

Lesson 28: "The Word is in Christ unto Salvation"

Alma 32-35

Each week before the scheduled lesson, I will publish a post where I will start compiling my thoughts around what I will likely cover on the upcoming topic/lesson. I would appreciate your thoughts and comments as this develops.

In particular, what you've been inspired by, the questions you might have thought about, scriptures you might have cross-referenced that you've found useful and anything else related to the topic or reading assignment.

You might consider it a collaborative version of the book I gave out at the begining of the year.

Lesson 27: Notes and Thoughts

You'll find a direct link to this last week's lesson notes at the bottom of this post.

There was quite a lot of really good stuff I managed to find in the preparation to the lesson this week and thought that I would post links to some of it here:

If you were in this weeks lesson, you'll notice that the notes go beyond what we managed to discuss in the lesson. Please also feel free to leave your thoughts and comments on this week's material in the comments section.

Book of Mormon Notes and Quotes

I'm hosting all of the notes and quotes used in my lessons on Skydrive. All previous lessons you'll find over in the sidebar. Along with that, I'll link to each weeks lesson directly from each post.

In the begining...

I decided to start a short blog which would provide a forum to discuss the week's Sunday School lesson.

I've also started to put up my notes from the class, along with any quotes I used.

I'd value your feedback, so please leave your comments.
