Monday Devotional
Song
We Listen to a Prophet’s Voice (Hymns #22)
Scripture
Doctrine and Covenants 112:14–15
Discussion
- Joseph Smith and other Church leaders started a bank where many Saints kept their money.
- Some of the Saints wanted to get a lot of money. One man who worked at the bank was not honest. He stole some money.
- Joseph Smith told other men to take good care of the money, but the bank continued to have problems. Soon it had to be closed because all the money was gone. This was a hard time for many banks in the United States, and many others were also closed.
- Many of the Saints were angry because they couldn’t get their money back. Some of them said it was Joseph Smith’s fault that the bank closed. Some of Joseph’s best friends said bad things about him. Some people even wanted to kill him.
- Some leaders of the Church were angry too. Some of them didn’t want to be members of the Church anymore. A few of them became enemies of the Church.
- Other Church leaders loved Joseph and helped him. Brigham Young was one of the good leaders. He told the Saints that he knew Joseph was a prophet of God.
- What do we learn about sustaining the prophet from this story?
