You already know how much we love the Old Testament. We are counting down the days until January comes. So many heroes. So many good stories. The deliverance and miracles. This is a study that seems particularly relevant for our time.
Our Old Testament study tools for next year are out this week. We think you will LOVE this year’s journal. It’s the perfect size to carry around with your scriptures. But even better, every week includes our most favorite ways to study scripture:
Things to watch for
Key truths
Context and Culture that will help your understand the Old Testament
Favorite scriptures you might want to mark
Digging Deeper, a hands on study page
Promises to Covenant Israel from each week’s reading
Personal Reflection questions to help you apply each lesson into your story
A Teacher’s Corner with lesson ideas for every week
And this is fun. If you order the full DMT bundle from Good News Brand before Thanksgiving, you will be entered into a weekly drawing for a $100 bundle of your choice from the Good News Brand.
If you want to find our products in a shop, you can also find all of our Don’t MIss This tools at Deseret Book and at Pioneer Party in Lehi, Utah.
Talk about glad tidings of great joy. What does that mean?
Have your kids draw a picture of what are their glad tidings of great joy?
TIP-INS for teens
Read Doc and Cov 128:22
Sometimes we need the reminder that this is a great cause that we are a part of…look at the posts put up on the church news when the 55 new missions were announced. Write down the number of missions, the number of missionaries serving, the number of people gathering into the Church of Jesus Christ. This is a great cause… read the verse above and fill in the blank on the tipin:
Shall we not go on in so great a cause? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and on, on to the victory!
TIP-INS for individuals and couples
Read Doc and Cov 128:20-21
List all of the things that happened after Joseph walked out of the grove in 1820.
What if he had never said that prayer?
Here is the new mission prep study guide you may have heard us talk about!
We are so excited about the new tip-ins for this year. Here is what we envisioned when we were creating these… an experience where you can gather with any age group (adults, teens, kids) to have a meaningful discussion once a week. All of the tip-ins for every age group work together to create a lesson experience for every age. Instead of having a separate journal, our hope is that your scriptures will become your journal this year! You can write your notes in the wide margin scriptures, and place this tip-in inside the pages. Created so the whole family could study together, and so that you would end the year with a book of scripture filled with the lessons we all study together.
We will walk you through how to use the tip-ins each week during our lesson. Then you can find a time that works best for your family to study together and do your scripture journaling.
These tip-ins are a combination of facts and context to help you understand each section better, along with questions in worksheet form to allow you to find application from each section in your own life. It’s the best of both worlds written in a format to fit right inside your scriptures so you will never forget the learning from this Doctrine and Covenants year.
