Ready or Not, Here Comes Home-Centered Church! 9 Resources to Help You Teach Your Family

Latter-day Saints are known for immediately organizing themselves after council is given. It’s the reason that the Church began, the pioneers crossed the plains, and the gospel has been and continues to be spread all over the world. After the Come, Follow Me curriculum was announced during the October 2018 general conference, Latter-day Saints began implementing home-centered church, and many created resources to help others. Now, less than a year and a half later, it seems we will need to put all those resources to the real test as church, at least for the next couple weeks, will take place in our homes.

8: “Blessed Are Ye” (Matthew 5, Luke 6)

Here's a little lesson for your Come, Follow Me this week: in Latin, the word beatus means fortunate, blessed, or happy. This means that the Beatitudes in Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount are the happy verses, because in Matthew 5 and Luke 6 you can substitute “blessed” with the word “happy” whenever you read it. Basically, these chapters have the recipe for a happy life—all you need is lots of light, a dash of salt, and a willing heart to follow the recipe as best as you can for a reward that won't disappoint.
