Gospel Doctrine Lesson 26

Here at LDS.net we want to help you teach the best lessons you possibly can. While every teacher needs to seek out his/her own inspiration for how to best help their own class apply the principles of the gospel, we hope pointing you in the direction of a few helpful resources will aid you in your process.

Alternate Activity Ideas

Since every class has different needs, we brainstormed a few extra ideas for class activities that might prove useful to you.

GOD AND MAMMON

Read and Discuss Matthew 6:24 with the class. How does an increased love of worldly things, like money, separate us from the Spirit of the Lord and the ability to judge wisely and righteously? How did it change King Solomon? How can we live in a world that depends so much on money and material things without “serving” these things?

A KINGDOM DIVIDED

Many problems came to King Solomon because he married outside the covenant. In modern times, how are things different and the same for those who marry non-members? Facilitate a discussion with your class about marrying wisely.
