Nephi’s Courage – Verse Three

Preparation

• Print and cut out the pictures.  (The pictures are from an old Primary manual.)
• Items needed: the same display methods used for verses one and two.

Presentation

The Lord gives us commandments and asks us to obey. – Put the “Obey Your Parents” sign on the display board, and underneath that put the picture of the child playing with toys and the picture of the mother asking the child to pick up his toys.

Sometimes I am tempted to choose another way. – Put the picture of the child leaving the toys on the floor and walking out the door on the display board.

When I am discouraged, and think I cannot try – Put the picture of the sad child consoling with the dog on the board. Explain that the child feels guilty for not obeying his mother, but thinks it is too hard to do what is right – face his mom, apologize, and try to fix the problem.

I will be courageous, and I will reply. – Put the picture of the child saying “I will go, I will do” onto the board.
