New Testament 2023 Newsletter #48
1 and 2 Peter
Rejoice with Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory
(November 20-26)
 
 
A note from Emily & David
Why is a trial of faith more precious than gold?  How is Jesus Christ precious to you?  How have you learned to love life and SEE good days?  What does the process of becoming look like?  When have you been an eyewitness of the majesty of Christ?  This week we will be studying Peter.
 
 
  Here are the segments you can look forward to:
 
A LIVELY HOPE
 
PRECIOUS
 
SEE GOOD DAYS
 
IN YOU AND ABOUND
 
EYEWITNESS
 
 
We are so excited to spend this year learning with you!
 
With love,
David and Grace!
 
 
FUN THINGS YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT!!!
 
IT’S TIME TO START PREPARING FOR NEXT YEAR! CAN YOU BELIEVE WE ARE ABOUT TO BEGIN STUDYING THE BOOK OF MORMON AGAIN?
 
And make sure you take a peek at our newest addition!  The Read it! Live it! Calendar.  Here’s why we love it…  We just wanted someone to make a schedule of the DAILY verses we needed to read if we want to finish the entire Book of Mormon by the end.  This calender does that!  Turn each page over each day to find a short list of verses that will keep you up to date on your daily reading.  BUT there is more!  We give you one verse to ponder and one thing you can DO to remember your reading for that day and make it part of your life.  READ IT!  LIVE IT!  It’s our new favorite addition to the family. 
 
 
THE APP… THE BEST WAY TO STUDY WITH US IF YOU ARE OFF SOCIAL MEDIA
 
You will notice some old favorites there, like the daily’s, the newsletter, and the video all in one location.  But there are other fun things coming…including a THIS WEEK section, and also weekly transcripts.
 
 
ADVENT
 
Christmas is coming… you know how much we love Christmas around here.  You might love our new advent countdown.  You’ll find it in the Good News Christmas Shop!

This Week's Printable
We are studying divine nature this week, and looking for the characteristics.  Consider that as you fill out this worksheet. 
 
Teaching Tips for Kids
These are big words.  You might want to spend some time teaching what these words mean in very simple ways.  Then invite your kids to work on one.
 
Teaching Tips for teens
This week we read about some really important characteristics and attributes that make us more like God.  It would be hard to find someone who has all of these, because we are all working on something, but maybe you know someone who is really good at one of these.  Make a list of people who are great examples of these words.
 
Teaching tips for individuals and couples
Who do you know that exemplifies these divine traits?  What could you learn from that person to practice yourself?  Maybe you will write the name of the person and then write down one thing you would like to practice.
 
 
Don't Miss This in the New Testament
Come Follow Me 2023 Study Tools
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 videos, 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!
