Possible Lesson Outline
(Click anywhere for PDF download)

  1. Pick 2-3 scripture references that stood out for you from the assigned reading.
  2. For each scripture reference, repeat steps 3-6
  3. Introduce the verse(s). For example: What is the topic about in general? Baptism, Holy Ghost, Prayer, etc.? Who is speaking in the verse? What is going on in the background?
  4. Cite the scripture reference and ask everyone to follow along as we read the verse together. Assign someone else to read the verse(s) and quotes you use.
  5. Share your thoughts about the verse. What stood out to you? What message did it have for you?
  6. Ask 1-2 discussion-promoting questions. Ask who, what, why, how, and “can you relate” questions.

Thank you so much for teaching and leading a discussion!! For ideas, examples, and help with any of these steps, feel free to ask friends, parents, or YM/YW leaders.

Important note: Do your lesson any way you feel inspired—make sure you bring in the Spirit and get plenty of participation from others. The Brethren have counseled us to be discussion leaders, not lecturers. For example, let others read the verses/quotes and then promote a discussion with questions about the verses. You aim to deepen everyone’s understanding by getting them to participate with you.

Ask who, what, why, how and “can you relate” questions that get people thinking about the verses you just read.
