Family Home Evening for Come Follow Me 6/24 for Kids
Song
The Priesthood Is Restored (Children’s #89)
Scripture
Lesson
- Alma and Amulek teach the people a lot about the priesthood. We’ll talk about it more in Monday’s devotionals.
- This verse, however, teaches about foreordination. This is different than predestination. Let’s talk about the differences.
- When you get a priesthood blessing, it says certain things MIGHT happen IF you are faithful. It’s the same with foreordination.
- Are men who have the priesthood the only ones who were called and prepared before coming to the earth?
- President Spencer W. Kimball said: “In the world before we came here, faithful women were given certain assignments while faithful men were foreordained to certain priesthood tasks. While we do not now remember the particulars, this does not alter the glorious reality of what we once agreed to.”
- How can we know what assignments we were given? (Prayer, blessings, patriarchal blessings, revelation, etc.)
Activity
To illustrate how the meaning of parts of a blessing may change as the years go by, tell the family you would like them to do the following exercise. Give each one a piece of paper and a pencil and ask them to write on the top, “You will do important work in the temple.” Have them write the numbers 15, 30, and 60 in a vertical line below this sentence. Have each person write the different meanings that this promise might have to a person aged 15, 30, and 60. After they have taken a few minutes to do this, ask each one to read what he has written. (Possible answers could be at 15—being baptized for the dead, at 30—doing endowment and sealing work in the temple, at 60—giving time and energy to family history research.)
Treat
Make cookies. Talk about how the cookies are foreordained to be cookies (when you choose to mix ingredients), but only if they go into the oven.

He Sent His Son (Children’s #34)
Scripture
Discussion
- In this chapter, Alma and Amulek have finished teaching the people of Ammonihah. Some wanted to believe and be baptized. Others were angry and upset, especially the priests who were wicked.
- Alma and Amulek were tied up. Those who believed them were thrown into a fire. What did Amulek and Alma say about this?
- Later, the Lord delivered Alma and Amulek from prison. Why do you think the Lord saved them but not the righteous people from the fire?
- Why were Alma and Amulek given strength?
- Heavenly Father allows bad things to happen to good people to help them learn and grow. He also allows all of us our agency – to choose from right from wrong. Just like He won’t force us to be good, He won’t stop people from being wicked. But because of the Plan of Salvation, we know that death is not the end of life.
- Have we had a time where God has given us strength because of our faith?
