Week 2

We have so much to say about this line of the Proclamation!
This is what I can’t stop thinking about...what is the lesson we learn when we consider the BIRTH, LIFE and SACRIFICE of Christ?

What do we learn about each of those three events separately? And what is the message of all of them combined?

It is interesting that it says “God the Father has given...” 

Given.
What is the meaning of that gift in your life? 

Perhaps you will write down each of the three words across the top of your journal page. 
The Birth. The Life. The Sacrifice. 

Maybe you will list the gifts, the reason, the lessons under each.

Why were the words divine, incomparable, and infinite chosen to describe each event?

What will your study of this one line help you to understand this week?

We can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

Week 1

The theme for this week is God’s Love. I
t comes right out of the first line of the Proclamation. 
It’s such a good place to start. 
A foundational truth. Life changing. Because if God is for us, who can be against us?

Preparation



This week is a preparation week! Before we jump into the Proclamation, we wanted to give you a week to study the General Conference talk the Proclamation came from! We will begin with the Sunday morning talk, Hear Him. .

.
Each week the Thursday slides will go as follows:
1. QUOTE: A quote from General Conference. 
2. READING: The line from the proclamation we are studying that week, a scripture reading assignment, and one Conference talk. 
3. PHRASES to study from that weeks reading. 
4. WORDS to ponder. 
5. One QUESTION to consider. .
.

This study is not meant to overwhelm!! If you only have time that week to just read and think about the one line from the Proclamation, that’s fantastic! Maybe you will read the verses and the conference talk. Great!! You might only have time to ponder one phrase or pick one word. That’s perfect! Maybe you just quickly read through the five slides and consider the question at the end. Awesome! You do what works for you each week. As little or as much as you want. The last study helped us recognize that even five minutes once a week will make a significant difference at the end of the study. Go at your best pace!!





The Queen


“Chess has three parts: opening, middle game, and endgame.
The opening is the development of pieces—you’re setting up your strategy.
The middle game is the implementation of your strategy. The endgame is
hopefully where you’re seeing the fruition of your strategy—you’re closing the trap.
The queen is the most powerful piece on the board, and it is conventional
chess wisdom that you postpone playing your queen for as long as you can.
The longer you can delay developing your queen, the more likely you will
have your most powerful piece for the endgame.
The Lord is the Master Strategist and knows exactly how to win.
Current announcements and policy changes and pleadings from the Prophet
appear to be the Lord bringing His queens into play in preparation for the endgame.”
