Young Men Lesson 35: Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ

Manual 3; Supplement from "Tell Me the Stories of Jesus," by Neil L. Andersen

1: “Hearken, O Ye People” (December 28–January 3)

And so it begins—our study of the Doctrine and Covenants! If you’re feeling a little wary, maybe a little intimated, don’t freight. If you feel like you already know everything there is to know about the Doctrine and Covenants, hold onto your hats because we are going study like never before. So grab your scriptures, and let’s dive into Doctrine and Covenants section 1.

26: They "Never Did Fall Away" (June 29–July 5)

Have you ever committed to do something, or not do something, and then the minute you make that commitment, something comes up that really tests your decision? In this week's study group we learn why it's important to have a continual commitment to change like the Anti-Nephi-Lehies in Alma 23-29, and also, why it’s not the end of the world when we mess up.

The Passover meal had come to an end. Feet had been washed; hymns had been sung. Then Christ and His disciples began their walk to the Garden of Gethsemane.

Holland describes as “the greatest suffering that has ever taken place in the world or ever will take place.” In John 14–17, we will study just what Christ taught His disciples in those final moments; He comforted His dear friends, and hopefully His words will do the same for us.

Stories and Advice for Sister Missionaries: An Interview with the Authors of Do Not Attempt in Heels

We can all relate to sitting in Sunday school classes or attending dinner parties where individuals begin stories with “When I was on my mission…” or who proclaim that their missions were the best two years of their lives. I admit that as one who did not serve a mission, my eyes usually glaze over and I tune these stories out. But Elise Babbel Hahl and Jennifer Rockwood Knight’s new book, Do Not Attempt in Heels, includes mission stories written by returned sister missionaries, stories that I found to be thoughtful, inspiring, and motivating.

Critics of the Book of Mormon often demand its advocates provide the strongest single piece of archaeological evidence — or that they name, say, the top three pieces of such evidence. That, in the judgment of those critics, should prove its historical authenticity to an unbiased observer.
