Lessons from the Book of Mormon as taught by S.J. Hollist, in
Hi, my name is
S.J. Hollist. For the year 2008 I was called to be a
Primary Teacher in
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’,
Richardson Stake, Sachse Ward. I fulfilled this calling willingly and voluntarily with no compensation other then
spiritual gifts from a loving
Heavenly Father.
The lessons for the year were from the
Book of Mormon which inspired me to create this blog. This blog contains my lesson notes and links to
scriptures and the
lesson manual. If you have ever wondered what the
Book of Mormon is about, or are just looking for a quick lesson on a certain topic, I believe you'll find this blog very helpful.
If you are looking for a basic idea as to what the
Book of Mormon is all about, I suggest starting with
Lesson 33, and then if you have additional time check out
Lesson 1 and
Lesson 44; you can go as far as you like from there.
It is my testimony to you, that the
Book of Mormon will not only help you to better understand
The Holy Bible and the
Gospel of
Jesus Christ, but that it will help you find
peace in your life if you live by the principles taught within it. The
Book of Mormon is not a replacement for
The Holy Bible, but is an additional
testament of
Jesus Christ, and a companion to
The Holy Bible; given to us by a loving
Heavenly Father.
Since the lessons are done on a weekly basis, with some weeks having special events, I've also included some notes on the events from weeks I was not teaching, or that had other events happening that week. I hope this will give those who are unfamiliar with the
LDS Church a basic idea of how we worship, through the eyes of an individual member of the LDS Church.
