Pause the Christmas music—this new Thanksgiving anthem puts gratitude on full blast

By Ellie Smith

Even those who love Christmas music will want to stop and dance to this new Thanksgiving anthem.

38: "I Am the Law, and the Light" (September 21–27)

This week’s lesson is going to be riveting. Can you even imagine what it must have been like to hear Christ pray or learn at His feet? There is just so much to study in 3 Nephi 12–16 that we could spend a lifetime learning from the Savior's words. So, as a roller coaster operator would say, “take a seat and buckle up. Please safely store any loose items or clothing. Keep your eyes forward, head up, and be sure to enjoy the ride” as we dig into this week’s lesson.

37: "Be Still and Know That I Am God" (Doctrine and Covenants 98–101)

Whether we’re waiting in traffic, waiting in a checkout line, or even just waiting for the elevator—hardly anybody enjoys having to wait. And sometimes we have to wait on things a bit more consequential than traffic, a checkout line, or an elevator. What about when we are waiting for the Lord’s help? In Doctrine and Covenants 98–101, the Missouri Saints were asked not only to wait, but to wait patiently on the Lord during some of their most trying times. And as we study these sections, we’ll discover that there are blessings and promises in store for all who patiently wait on the Savior.

47: “Prepare Ye for the Coming of the Bridegroom” (Doctrine and Covenants 133–134)

Okay, let’s be real. Doctrine and Covenants section 134 probably isn’t on our radar very often. All that talk about government can be pretty complex and hard to understand, but don’t worry—we’ve got your back. In this week's study group, we break down Doctrine and Covenants 133–134 as we discuss God’s purposes for governments and how we can learn to be better disciples of Jesus Christ, no matter where we live.

Actor who played Sam in Book of Mormon Videos discusses his experience playing Nephi's lesser-known brother

Playing the role of Nephi’s older brother Sam in the Church’s Book of Mormon videos might not seem like the easiest assignment to prep for. But Cooper Sutton, a Brigham Young University acting alum who was cast to play the son of Lehi, said help from seminary and institute teachers as well as insights from General Authorities who met with the cast allowed him to feel confident in his portrayal.
