Family Home Evening for Come Follow Me 6/28 for Kids
Song
Follow the Prophet (Childrens’s #110) verse 8
Scripture
Acts 4:33, then read Acts 1:15–26
Lesson
- When Jesus Christ was on the earth, He taught with great power.
- Once He left and ascended into heaven, His apostles were able to do so as well with the guidance and power of the Holy Ghost. They had the priesthood keys.
- Think about groups or organizations you’ve been a part of outside the Church. How do they choose their leaders? What qualifications do they look for?
- Christ tells His prophet and apostles how to best strengthen His church on the earth through the Holy Ghost.
- That same organization (and those priesthood keys) were restored to the earth through Joseph Smith, and we have a living prophet and apostles today.
- President Gordon B. Hinckley said this about calling a new Apostle: “The procedure is peculiar to the Lord’s church. There is no seeking for office, no jockeying for position, no campaigning to promote one’s virtues. Contrast the Lord’s way with the way of the world. The Lord’s way is quiet, it is a way of peace, it is without fanfare or monetary costs. It is without egotism or vanity or ambition. Under the Lord’s plan, those who have responsibility to select officers are governed by one overriding question: ‘Whom would the Lord have?’ There is quiet and thoughtful deliberation. And there is much of prayer to receive the confirmation of the Holy Spirit that the choice is correct” (“God Is at the Helm,” Ensign, May 1994, 53).
- How can we know that today’s apostles are called by God?
Activity
Play Memory with the living prophets and apostles.
Treat
Key lime dessert (because Christ left the keys of the priesthood)
