The Lesson
The Come, Follow Me for Individuals and Families manual asks us to read Matthew 16-17, Mark 8-9, and Luke 9 this week. Auggie struggles to understand the scripture Matthew 16:18, “And upon this rock will I build my church.” He seeks his dad for help. Dad tries to help Auggie know what Jesus means in this scripture.
Show your children a picture of President Russell M. Nelson. Explain to them that he receives revelation from Jesus Christ to know how to lead His church. General Conference is a way we can hear the revelations from the prophet! We, too, can receive personal revelation if we are righteous.
