Scripture
3 Nephi 2:11–12; 3:1–26; 5:24–26
Discussion
- One of the results of the wicked people was the Lord no longer protecting them from the Gadianton robbers. These robbers made the people have to leave their homes and gather in one place to be safe.
- We don’t have to leave our homes, but we face spiritual dangers. What did the Nephites do? What can we do to be safe?
- Gathering together as Saints is important. We strengthen each other.
Activity
Take a pencil or a stick and ask the child to break it (or break it yourself if they aren’t strong enough) by snapping it in half. Do that 10 times. Now take 10 pencils and try to do it at once. Show how we are stronger together than apart.
