A note from Emily & David
Have you ever considered the burden a prophet carries?  Especially if they are called to a time where there is a great battle for souls.  In Amos we discover the pattern of how a prophet speaks to his people:  The Problem, The Consequence, The Counsel, The Promise.  You might spend some time looking at recent conference talks to see if they follow a similar pattern. We are choosing a conference talk to combine with each of these minor prophets.  You might consider studying Elder Anderson with Amos and Sister Yee with Obadiah. This week in Come, Follow Me we will be studying Amos and Obadiah.
 
Here is what you have to look forward to:
 
A Warning to those At Ease
The Brotherly Covenant
Battle for Good
 
 
Promises to covenant
Israel from this week:
Amos; Obadiah
 
I brought you up
I led you through
I raised you up
I will reveal my secrets to my prophet
I will plant them
I will send deliverance and holiness
I will send saviours up on mount Zion

Teaching tips for kids
Read Amos 3:7.
Sing the primary song, Follow the Prophet.
What is one thing you have learned from our prophet?
 
 
Teaching tips for teens
Read Amos 6:6.
Consider when an army general comes to speak to his troops.  What is the difference between standing at attention and standing at ease?
 
What do you think the difference is between being at ease in Zion compared to standing in Holy places?
 
 
One of our favorite commentaries on the book of Amos comes from the ESV.  Regarding Amos chapter 9 it says, “God’s ultimate purpose in judgment is never destruction, it is always restoration.”  Where else in scripture have you seen that to be true?

Don't Miss This in the New Testament
Preorders for 2023 Come Follow Me
Maybe you know this about us by now, but we are both visual, hands on learners.  Because of that, we are always trying to discover study tools that will help bring the scriptures to life in your home.  We will be using several different study tools this year, here is what we love most about each of them:

Videos:
For the New Testament we will be recording all new hour long vides, but this year they will be broken into ten minute segments in case you want to watch them for ten minutes every weekday, or you can watch them all at once.  These videos are totally free and can be found on YouTube or on our APP.

Journal:
The journals for the next four years have been totally redesigned with a theme in mind.  You will find questions to ponder daily that can be used for teaching or family discussions.  There are workbook pages based off of our most favorite part of each lesson that week.  You can also use these workbook pages for lessons or discussion.  There will also be a space for recording one name of Jesus Christ each week.

Devotional Book:
Perfect for a 5-10 minute lesson, these books can be used as a devotional every day.  This book is designed for personal study or family study.  We love to use ours around the dinner or breakfast table.

Word a Week Posters:
Perfect for a three minute study, these posters include one word and one verse a week for pondering.  Hang them somewhere in your home where they will be a daily reminder of Come, Follow Me.  This year we will be studying one name of Jesus Christ found in that week’s lesson.  By the end of the year we will have come up with 52 names.

Tip Ins:
These are small papers that can be glued right in your scriptures with tips and truths that will help to improve your study.

Stickers:
Use these colorful stickers in the margins of your Scriptures or in your Don’t Miss This Daily study journal.

Hopefully these tools will make your scripture study something you look forward to!
