rberbert Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 So, hey I'm new here, I don't even know if I'm posting in the right section, so sorry if I'm way off, but i need some help. i recently started going back to church and getting things worked out with my bishop. One of the things my bishop asked me to do was prepare three lessons with subjects of my choosing, and then present them to him in a month. Sounds easy right? here's the problem, i haven't been to church for a little while... and i have no idea on how to go about this, i have my topics chosen, but i don't know where to start. So any help at all would be appreciated! Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissar Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 lds.org has lots of resources that may be helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honor Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Yeah I agree with melissar. Here's a link to a list of gospel topics. Each one has a little bit of info about what the church believes along with scripture references and links to talks on the subjects:LDS.org - Gospel Topics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjormon Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 You can start with a couple of topics that are the cornerstone of the religion, repentance, baptism, atonement. Or something that applies to you personally and in that you can learn more about yourself, you always learn by teaching a lesson. Even in nursury.

rameumptom Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 What are the three topics you've chosen? This may help us be more specific in the guidance we give you. If one of the topics is on food storage, or money management, or how to buy a house, LDS.ORG may or may not have much information on it.

Misshalfway Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Well, I think it would be pretty hard to fail this test. :) Since you get to pick three topics, you might as well just choose them and go from there. What about starting with the first principles and ordinances of the gospel. You could do one on faith and then one on repentance and then one on baptism. Anyway....good luck with your choice and don't worry about failure. Pretty impossible, you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Curmudgeon Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) This sort of reminds me of the old Two And A Half Minute Talks of my youth. Plagiarism was the usual method then and it looks like something like that -- searching lds.org -- is the method now.

nc31410 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 There are many ways to search for what your looking for. :) And of course lds.org has alot of information for you too look up. One thing I find that helps, is to kinda briefly write down how i feel about that topic, what I understand of it. And what questions I have. Then look it up read and meditate about what your reading. And digest everything into how it makes you feel, and what you have learned, and of course what it is! There are tons of resources! Good luck!! And I'm very glad you have chosen to go back to church! Its always nice to see people who find their way back to the church one way or the other!! -My husband is inactive, and I'm very active in the church...hahah NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rberbert Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hey thanks for the help everyone, very much appreciated, i think I've decided that my three topics should be something i feel strongly about, so the atonement is the first one, then prayer, and faith. And those lds.org links will help a lot, i just didn't know where to really start but now i should be good. And only a little nervous about presenting it to the bishop because the eventual plan is for me to give the lesson in gospel doctrine...terrifying. But I'll cross that bridge when i come to it. Thanks again for all the help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
