FHE: I Can Know the Scriptures are True

Opening Prayer:

Scripture: Moroni 10: 3-5

Children’s Hymn 109, Search, Ponder, and Pray

Lesson: Bring one or more objects that your family can learn about using some of their five senses. For example, you could bring a fruit or a flower, or you could play some music. Give a few family members a change to see, smell, touch, tasted, or hear what you have brought. Demonstrate that we can also see, touch, smell and hear the scriptures, but to gain a testimony of them we need to receive a witness through the Spirit. Invite the family to sing, “Search, Ponder, and Pray” again. Ask them to listen, as they sing, for three things we can do to invite the Spirit to testify that the scriptures are true. Invite the family to create hand actions for the words search, ponder, and pray. Repeat the song, using the actions in place of these words.

Display a picture of Moroni, and read Moroni 10:4-5. Invite your family to share their feelings about the scriptures. They could also share what they have been doing to read the scriptures on their own. Encourage the family to share their testimonies of the scriptures with friends, family, and church members.

If you have teenagers who go to seminary, this would be an excellent time to have them share what they have learned and how they feel about seminary and the things they are learning.
