Come Follow Me: Old Testament Introductory Materials

 You are a Teacher in the Church of Jesus Christ


Introduction to Old Testament Study

“The essential purpose of gospel teaching and learning is to deepen conversion to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.”

“Teach only the doctrine of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ as found in the scriptures and the words of latter-day prophets. Pure doctrine—eternal, unchanging truth taught by God and His servants—invites the Spirit and has the power to change lives.”

A Pattern for Teaching

“As part of every class, invite class members to share insights and experiences they had during the previous week as they studied the scriptures as individuals and families and applied what they learned.”

When class members hear each other’s experiences and testimonies of Jesus Christ and His gospel, they are more likely to seek similar experiences of their own.

Come Follow Me 17: Exodus 18-20

Come Follow Me Lesson 17: Exodus 18-20 Introduction: Are you noticing the abundance of miracles in your own life? These are “undeniable manifestations of the Lord’s matchless power, love, and mercy” for you! The Lord wants to give us greater treasures than providing for our daily physical needs. He want everyone to be blessed through entering into the covenant with Him. He wants us to be blessed with Priesthood power and to become His “peculiar treasure,” and a “holy nation”. Exodus 19:5–6 In our day, the invitation to cooffme unto Christ and enter into the covenant is extended to all people, first through baptism, and later through further endowments in the temple.

Come Follow Me 51

Come Follow Me Lesson 51 “I Have Loved You, Saith the Lord” Introduction: Malachi means My messenger. What messages did the Lord give Malachi have for you? What messages does he have for the world? Do you trust that the Lord loves you even in adversity? You should. “I have loved you,” the Lord told His people through the prophet Malachi. But the Israelites, who had suffered generations of affliction and captivity, asked the Lord, “Wherein hast thou loved us?” ( Malachi 1:2 ). After all Israel had been through, they may have wondered whether the history of ancient Israel is really a story of God’s love for His covenant people. What evidences have you seen in the Old Testament of God’s love for His people, and for you? When the sons of Jacob mistreated their brother Joseph, the Lord still prepared a way to save them from famine (see  Genesis 45:4–8 ). When Israel murmured in the wilderness, God fed them with manna (see  Exodus 16:1–4 ). Even when Israel abandoned Hi...
