The War that Began in Heaven - Satan vs Jesus Christ comparison

Submitted by Jenny Smith on Mon, 03/26/2012 - 2:58pm
This handout contrasts Jesus Christ and Satan. The idea is that we should know our enemy and his tactics so we can defeat him. I used this with Isaiah 14, but you could use it during any plan of salvation lesson, really. Answers included in the PDF ...

Jesus Christ created the earth as a place where I can learn to choose the right.

Submitted by Jenny Smith on Sat, 12/31/2011 - 2:27pm

Before we were born, we lived with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. We needed a place to live with our families. We needed a place to get physical bodies. We needed a place to learn to choose the right.

Jesus Christ created the earth so we could live there and grow. On earth, we could have physical bodies. We could live with a family. We could learn to choose the right.

The prophet Moses knew what Jesus Christ did for us. Here is what Moses said:

"And there stood one among them that was like unto God, [it was Jesus Christ] and [Jesus Christ] said unto those who were with him: We will go down, for there is space there, and we will take of these materials, and we will make an earth whereon [Heavenly Father's children] may dwell; Read more »

In the premortal life, I chose to follow God’s plan.

Submitted by Jenny Smith on Sat, 12/31/2011 - 2:18pm

Heavenly Father taught Moses about what you and I did before we were born (Abraham 3). Before we were born, you and I lived with Heavenly Father and Jesus and Satan and many other of God's children. We were happy, but we could not grow. We needed physical bodies

---hold up your hand---

like the ones we have now to grow like Heavenly Father. Heavenly Father had a plan to help us grow like him. We would receive physical bodies and live in families. Satan wanted to destroy Heavenly Father's plan.

Heavenly Father said, " And we will prove [these children] herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them;" (Abraham 3:25) Read more »

Plan of Salvation Part Deux and Education the Key to Opportunity

Submitted by Jenny Smith on Thu, 09/15/2011 - 8:04am

GREAT NEWS!!! The county transportation department was able to find transportation on a bus for our kids, and now the Seminary students will be able to ride the bus from my house to school each morning! Now all the mommies have to do is get the kids here, and the kids' ride to school is taken care of. What a blessing for the families!

Brother and Sister Dingess brought over the tables and chairs last night, so I'm all set now for class. Tomorrow we really will need tables (making scripture mastery posters), so I'm glad that the tables are here for that lesson. Read more »

Plan of Salvation

Submitted by Jenny Smith on Wed, 09/14/2011 - 9:21am

Today was plan of salvation. When I was planning for the lesson today, it became apparent that we were not going to be able to cover the plan in any depth in just one day. Guess the lesson pacing schedule was right after all :) Next year we will spend 2 days on plan of salvation for sure.

We spent today's time in discussion and doing a few glue-ins for our journals. I had planned to have them move into preparing to teach the PofS, but the discussion was kind of somber and we ended up with only a few minutes anyway. Tomorrow we will finish plan of salvation and spend a very few minutes on Education. Read more »
