The story behind Clara McMaster writing the Primary song “Teach Me to Walk in the Light” is a lesson in persistence and faith. And the song we sing now reminds us to ask about what we are teaching and how it is being taught. Alma 36–38 is about what Alma the Younger taught his sons and then asked his sons to teach the people. Whoever you teach this week, remind them to walk in the light of God’s love.

Being Prompted and Guided—Not Overwhelmed—with President Nelson’s 99+1 Invitation

Last month, President Nelson extended an invitation as he reflected his approaching 100th birthday. He shared about the significance of the number 100, and how it was used in the scriptures by the Savior in the parable of the lost sheep. “Though 99 of his flock were safely by his side, the shepherd went in search of the one who was lost.” The invitation then, is to go after the one.

Alma 39-42: Mercy

This week, we’re going to celebrate a little Christmas in August. In Alma 39–42, we hear a familiar chorus from the song “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” What can we learn about “glad tidings” from Alma’s words to his sons? And how can we lean on this good news when times get hard?

Start to See the Promised Miracles in Your Life

We’re talking about how to get on an upward spiritual spiral, using an out-of-the-box suggestion from President Nelson—to seek and expect miracles.

Embracing God’s Unexpected Plans for You with Emily Snyder

We all want to make good things happen in our life, our hearts are full of the question, “Are we on the right track?” And perhaps in pursuit of this righteous desire, we might be trying too hard. There’s a saying “Let go and let God ...” Is that something we could do more of?

Alma 53–63: Stripling

Alma 53–63 tells the story of the sons of Helaman and the people of Moroni. These warriors and people of God had some advantages over their enemy, which surprisingly had nothing to do with numbers or military skill. In some ways, their situation feels familiar to those of us who sometimes feel outnumbered and overwhelmed in our latter-day battles against Satan and the forces of evil in the world. Let’s look carefully at those advantages and explore how they can help us in the battles we all face today.

Helaman 1–6: Remember

The book of Helaman is considered an “annalistic” or annual writing because almost every year is mentioned starting in the 40th year of the reign of the judges and ending in the 90th year. A lot can happen in 50 years, and there is a lot to learn from Helaman 1–6. It is filled with both triumphs and tragedies—political intrigue, bands of robbers, rejection of the prophets, and pride and disbelief throughout the land. So “remember, remember” this account of the Nephites when you look back on the world 50 years ago or look forward to what the world will someday look like.
