LINK TO THE CREATIVE VIDEO FOR MORONI 10
https://youtu.be/kHV_jGmmU8Q
WEEK 51: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
In Moroni 10, Moroni concludes the Book of Mormon with a heartfelt exhortation and invitation. He invites readers to ponder the mercies of God throughout history and to ask God, with real intent, if the Book of Mormon is true, promising that by the power of the Holy Ghost, they can know its truth. Moroni emphasizes the importance of spiritual gifts given by the Spirit, such as faith, healing, and prophecy, and encourages everyone to seek these gifts with faith and belief in Christ. He speaks of the significance of faith, hope, and charity, noting that without these, one cannot be saved in the kingdom of God. Finally, Moroni urges readers to come unto Christ, be perfected in Him, and embrace His grace, as he bids farewell for this life, expressing hope in eternal life through Christ.
Questions to Consider:
Moroni 10 | Why is that a temptation in our day? Is there comfort in believing his powers are limited somehow? Are these all the same power? How can we tell them apart?
Moroni 10:30 | What constitutes an evil gift? What does that term refer to? How might this relate to the message of the Savior about God not giving stones or serpents (Luke 11:11)?
Moroni 10:34 | How do you picture the final judgment? What does the setting look like to you? Which talks, scriptures, or commentaries have given you an understanding of what to expect?

https://youtu.be/AsYkqyWF0iA
WEEK 50: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
In Moroni chapters 7 through 9, Mormon, Moroni's father, writes about the principles of faith, hope, and charity, highlighting charity as the pure love of Christ that is essential for salvation. Mormon shares a sermon on discerning good from evil, encouraging us to judge righteously by the light of Christ. Additionally, he provides insight into the challenges faced by the Nephites and Lamanites during their wars, urging his son Moroni to remain faithful and strong despite witnessing widespread wickedness and despair. Mormon's letters to Moroni include counsel and expressions of his deep love for him, emphasizing the need to endure in faith, even amid difficult circumstances. Throughout these chapters, themes of love, obedience, and resilience during adversity are prominent.
Moroni 7:12-13 | What’s the difference between inviting and enticing? How do you see the adversary using those tactics? How does the Lord use them to help us use our agency for good?
Moroni 8:3 | Why does Mormon use this title for Christ here? We don’t often think of the Christ child as powerful. Is there a connection to his teachings about children in the rest of the chapter?
Moroni 9 | If past feeling is the far end of the spectrum, what is on the other end? What does this term teach you about the character and nature of God?

Lesson Summary:
Moroni 1-6 is an insightful section where Moroni, the last Nephite prophet, shares valuable teachings and ordinances with us. He provides guidance on priesthood ordination, the sacrament prayers, and the process of keeping the church pure.

It's a beautiful reminder of how essential ordinances and church fellowship are in our spiritual journey.
Moroni 3:2 | Why do sacred experiences often involve physical and spiritual components? What symbolism do you see in the laying on of hands?
Moroni 6:4 | When have you been nourished by the Good word of God? How do you differentiate this type of nourishment from other good feelings? What could we do as a church to help our teaching feel more nourishing?
Moroni 6:9 | So much of our worship is patterned for us in order to help the Holy Ghost be present. Where do you see individual choice according to Spirit impact our worship?

WEEK 48: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
Ether 12-15 details a period of intense conflict and prophecy in the Jaredite civilization. Ether, the prophet, emphasizes the importance of faith, illustrating how it precedes miracles and is crucial for spiritual strength, referencing past prophets like Alma and Moroni. Despite Ether’s warnings, the people embrace wickedness, leading to widespread wars. Coriantumr, a pivotal king, sees prophetic visions of his people's annihilation if they do not repent. As battles intensify, with leaders like Shared and Shiz rising against him, Coriantumr grapples with relentless warfare and personal injuries. Ultimately, Ether’s prophecies come to pass as the Jaredite civilization collapses due to internal turmoil, leaving Coriantumr as the last survivor, fulfilling God’s word that another group—the Nephites—would inhabit the land. These chapters highlight the consequences of pride and the power of faith.
Ether 12:12 | How do you define a miracle? How do we balance seeking and expecting miracles, as President Nelson invited us to do, and patiently allowing the Lord’s will to be done?
Ether 13:1-14 | Why does Ether bother telling them “all things” if they are so wicked? Why not just write them down for future generations who will appreciate them? Is there power in prophesying even if no one heeds your words?
Ether 13:1,31, 14:12 | Why is this the consequence God chooses for Coriantumr? Is this a fitting end for someone who caused so much destruction or is God in relentless pursuit of him?

WEEK 47: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
In Ether 6-11, we follow the journey of the Jaredites as they cross the ocean in barges, guided by the light of shining stones. Upon reaching the promised land, they establish a society under the leadership of various kings. However, the narrative quickly shifts to a cycle of prosperity, wickedness, and upheaval as they struggle with power, pride, and internal conflicts. The text highlights moral lessons on the consequences of rejecting the Lord's guidance and the recurring theme of repentance and redemption. Despite times of righteousness, the Jaredites often fall back into chaos, foreshadowing future trials for their civilization.
Ether 6:12 | What are tender mercies to you? When have you seen them? How did you recognize them? Did your mortal mind try to reconcile them? How did you get past those feelings and find divinity in them?
Ether 8:7-10 | How does Satan use good motives to do tempt us to do sinful things? How do we guard against this? How do the two great commandments help you know how to channel your emotions for good?
Ether 11:12-13 | Do you think this happens today? We know the work will roll forward but are there times when prophets withdraw? What causes a prophet’s heart to mourn? Can you mourn and maintain a sense of rest and optimism simultaneously?

WEEK 46: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week we’ll learn the origin story of the Jaredite nation in the book of Ether. We’ll follow Jared and his incredible brother as they lead their people away from Babel towards a whole new life in the Promised Land. The road between the two locations is filled with opportunities to test and increase their faith. We’ll also study Moroni’s words about the sealed plates and hear his testimony of the witnesses that will attest to the truthfulness of the book.
Ether 3:23 | When have you received revelation about what would not work rather than a clear answer about what would? Why does the Lord teach in this way?
Ether 3:6 | How does it change the story for you if the stones don’t light up until they “set sail”? Have you had moments where illumination didn’t come until it was too late to turn back?
Ether 4:15 | What causes a veil of unbelief? How can we tear it? What does the Brother of Jared’s story teach us about how to seek hidden knowledge?

WEEK 45: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
In the last three chapters of the Book of Mormon, we’ll hear from a courageous Father and his compassionate Son. Both men will testify of Jesus Christ and the miraculous plan of our Father in Heaven. Mormon will teach of the power of the Bible and Book of Mormon in the latter days. His son, Moroni, will testify of the power and goodness of God and remind us that our probationary time is limited.
Mormon 8:7-8 | Why do you think these phrases are used in hard and good ways? What is the common thread between the hard and good things Moroni is describing?
Mormon 8:39 | What do you think it means to “adorn ourselves with that which hath no life”? Does it tie into the verses you find in 9 about being brought before God at the judgment bar and seeing our “nakedness” clearly?
Mormon 9:9 | How do we reconcile an unchanging God with eternal progression? Does God still progress or is He by definition, in a perfected state? Do the two ideas conflict or do they flow beautifully for you?

WEEK 44: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week, we’ll hear Mormon’s autobiography. It’s a coming-of-age story that helps us understand how to live and think Celestial in a very Telestial world. Mormon loves his people and desperately wants to save them from self-destruction. He’ll lead them, serve them, and stay among them from his childhood through the final battle on Cumorah.
Mormon 1:1 | If you had to make a record of your life so far. What would would make the cut? What things have you seen and heard that are worth passing to the next generation?
Mormon 3:16 | Have you and experience like this? Have you ever been prompted to stand by while watching a type of destruction? How did it broaden your understanding of the character of God, agency, or His masterful plan?
Mormon 5:1 | What motivates this change of heart? Is it about defensive vs. offensive warfare? Is it about the women and children who are sacrificed? Is it direction from the Lord?

WEEK 43: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This is a week woven with warnings and promises. President Nelson just taught, “Now is the time for us to make our discipleship our highest priority.” This week’s chapters will help you understand how to accomplish that powerful invitation. In His final sermon to the Nephites, the Savior emphasizes the need for unity within His church. He directs the name of the church as well as His clear, simple, redeeming doctrine. He’ll help us understand the value of giving all we have to His work and the promise of hope to all who come unto Him. His message leaves the people hungering and thirsting after righteousness for 3 generations. Sadly, the unity begins to unravel when pride creeps back in among the people and false teachings lure hearts away from the truth.
3 Nephi 27:25-26 | How does it comfort you to know the Father is the recorder for your life? How would that knowledge impact your prayers? How does D&C 137:9 help you understand this verse?
3 Nephi 28:1-10 | If this asking to tarry on the earth was such a good choice for the 3 Nephites, why don’t we have more people choosing it in scriptural history? What makes these three (and other translated beings) distinct from ministering angels?
4 Nephi 1:3 | These people weren’t in bondage before Christ’s coming. How were they “made free”? What do you think “the Heavenly Gift” refers to?

WEEK 42: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
The Savior could have taught anything to the Nephites during His three-day visit. Interestingly, so much of His sermon was focused on their covenant connection to the House of Israel and the blessings of Abraham. After hearing that same focus from so many at General Conference, the words in these chapters feel more pertinent than ever.
3 Nephi 21:9 | Why is there a distinction between the words great and marvelous? What does the word marvelous add to greatness? Where have you seen both of these adjectives demonstrated in the Restored Church?
3 Nephi 24:11 | What does the adversary try to devour"? Why is this a fitting title? Does 2 Nephi 27:3 add any additional understanding? How does the Savior’s teachings to the woman at the well apply to this concept?
3 Nephi 26:9 | Are there doctrinal concepts or ideas you have had to accept on faith? How have those stretches of discomfort expanded your knowledge of the mysteries of God?
