February 26 â March 3, 2024
WEEK 09: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week, Nephi will guide our hearts toward reconciliation with God through the words of Isaiah. Weâll study Isaiahâs prophecies about the scattering and gathering of Israel and apply those messages to our own modern-day discipleship. Weâll try to unravel the meaning behind some of Isaiahâs most powerful passages by focusing on what his prophetic words can teach us about our Savior, Jesus Christ.
First, weâll play a speed game to help our kids get familiar with the words and symbols of Isaiah. Next, weâll defy gravity with an uphill water flow experiment to teach about choosing the harder right rather than the easier wrong. Finally, weâll use printable fishing lures to break down the truth-distorting techniques of the adversary.
Week 9 Questions
2 Nephi 11:8 | How do you think understanding Isaiahâs time, history, geography, and prophecies helps with the Gathering?
2 Nephi 12:3 & 5 |Where do you see the prophet and apostles doing this today
2 Nephi 13:12 | What do you think the phrase âdestroy the way of thy pathsâ
2 Nephi 15:25-30 | What other symbols can mean both good and bad things? Why does the Lord teach with contrasts?
2 Nephi 19:6 | We usually attribute counselor to the Holy Ghost. Why does this title fit the Savior so well?

4: BOM [1 NEPHI 11-15] INSIGHTS
âArmed with Righteousness and the Power of Godâ
January 22 â January 28
Lesson Summary:
This week weâll approach Lehiâs vision from a new vantage point as we study the visionary experience of Nephi. Weâll learn about the love of God and the many, many tools He has put in place to bring us all to the tree. Nephiâs vision will help us see the Lordâs plan to care for Lehiâs descendants - those who choose to follow Him and those who turn away. Weâll also study Nephiâs response to this vision and his powerful example of service through struggle.
Questions to Consider:
1 Nephi 11:25 | Why do you think there are two representations of his love (tree & river)?1 Nephi 11:35 | Do you see the Great & Spacious building of our day straining to accept all the philosophies of men?1 Nephi 12:4-11 | Why is showing His wounds the first thing the Savior does when He visits the Nephites?1 Nephi 13:10-20 | Why does God still bless Columbus, the Founding Fathers, the Colonists etc, with power if they are imperfect? 1 Nephi 15:15-16 | What types and shadows of the Atonement of Jesus Christ do you see in the tree grafting symbol?Follow Maria on:Creative Come Follow Me digital courseMeckMom.comInstagram @meckmomlifeYouTube

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria Eckersley
A Creative Study of Come, Follow Me
Book of Mormon [1 NEPHI 6-10] Creative
âCome and Partake of the Fruitâ
January 15 â January 21, 2024
WEEK 03: SUMMARY
=================
This week weâll follow Lehiâs sons back into Jerusalem and then back into the wilderness with Ishmaelâs Family. Nephi will struggle to lead his rebellious brothers and experience personal deliverance through heartfelt prayer. The bulk of our study will be focused on Lehiâs sweeping vision of the tree of life. The symbols woven into the vision will help us understand how to navigate our complex mortal experience with hope, understanding, and grace.
Weâll reinforce those teachings in the creative object lessons as well. First, weâll break down the structure of the iron rod with a simple aluminum foil braid. Next, weâll talk about what it means to âkeepâ something for God by playing an epic game of potato jousting. Finally, weâll talk about the beauty of unfolding revelation by creating a handful of fire.
