Apostasy and Restoration

Daniel taught Family Home Evening last night. He pulled out a puzzle with one of following labels written on each piece.

  • baptism
  • scriptures
  • belief in Jesus Christ
  • priesthood
  • sacrament
  • apostles

We assembled the puzzle. Daniel taught how Jesus Christ established His Church on the earth, but after the death of the apostles, pieces of the gospel and Church were missing. He removed the puzzle pieces labeled, “priesthood,” “apostles,” and “sacrament.” He said many things were lost, and the puzzle was just an illustration. The Church fell into apostasy.

He handed out scriptures from the Doctrine and Covenants and asked each family member to identify something that was restored by the prophet Joseph Smith. With each scripture, we were able to return a puzzle piece to its rightful place.

He showed us this video that has the words of one of the living apostles.

Daniel shared his testimony that this is the true Church of Jesus Christ. His testimony was the best part of the lesson.
