Gospel Doctrine
BofM: L-14: For a Wise Purpose
Highlights: Think of something you would have forgotten if
you hadn’t written it down. Enos prayed to the Lord to preserve the Nephite
records.
Scriptures: • Enos
1; Jacob 7: 27; Jarom 1: 5, 7-12; Words of Mormon 1: 1-4, 6-7
à Whom did
Enos credit with teaching him the gospel? (See Enos 1:1.) Who was Enos’s
father? (See Jacob 7:27.) How can the teaching and example of righteous parents
help children develop faith in the Savior?
à What did
Jacob’s teachings influence Enos to do? (See Enos 1:3–4.)
à After
reading Jarom, what would you consider when looking at the habits and
priorities of these people and their blessings from the Lord?
à After reading
Words of Mormon, when there was no apparent need, why did Mormon include them?

Priesthood/Relief Society
Queen Esther – Courage
Esther 2-9
Every
day Mordecai came to the palace gate to find out if Esther was all right. One
day Haman, the king’s chief minister, saw him. Haman demanded that Mordecai bow
down to him. But Mordecai refused. He bowed only to God.
Haman
was furious. He told the king that the Jews would not obey the laws and should
be killed. The king sent out a decree that all of the Jews in the kingdom were
to be killed.
When
Queen Esther heard about the awful decree, she sent word to Mordecai. What
should they do?
At
the banquet Esther told the king how Haman had plotted to kill the Jews. She
said that she was Jewish too. King Ahasuerus was very
angry. He could not take back the decree, but he quickly sent riders on mules
and camels with a new decree. It said the Jews could defend themselves against
anyone who tried to kill them. The lives of many Jews were saved.
Scriptures: Esther
9: 2-4
How did
Esther and Mordecai’s influence sway others to defend the Jews?
