The 3-Stage Model to Dealing with Uncertainty and Questions in the Gospel

By Bruce C. Hafen

We first met as students in a BYU religion class called “Your Religious Problems.” We both solved our biggest “religious problem” when our friendship from that class blossomed into our marriage. For each class, a student would pick a religious question, do research on it, then lead a discussion. We each wrote a short paper on how we would resolve the problem.

42: "His Sacrifice Shall Be More Sacred unto Me Than His Increase" (Doctrine and Covenants 115–120)

Deciding what to name a stuffed animal, a doll, or a pet is usually a pretty fun thing to do. In those situations, the stakes are low and imaginations can run freely. But naming a person, a business, or an important organization? Now those are decisions to take more seriously because people’s perceptions and expectations for something will be influenced by its name. This week we will dig into Doctrine and Covenants 115–120 where the Lord reveals the name He decided on for the Church in this dispensation. We will learn why that name matters and what the Lord expects from us as a Church community living under that name.

New Testament Lesson 12: "I Am The Bread of Life"

By Ted L. Gibbons

INTRODUCTION: The Savior has consistently, throughout recorded scriptural history, tried to link himself to the commonalities of our lives so that we will be reminded of him in the daily affairs of living. Thus he calls himself the living water (John 4:10,11); the good shepherd (John 10:11); the stone or rock of Israel (D&C 50:44); the Light of the world (John 8:12; 9:5); the Lamb of God (John 1:29) the Cornerstone (Ephesians 2:19,20); and, of course, the Bread of Life and the Bread of Heaven (John 6:35, 51). How often in your life do you see water, rocks or stones, light, and bread? How would your life be blessed if these images reminded you of the ministry and mission of the Redeemer?
