The Word of Wisdom
This week’s study focuses on the Word of Wisdom—a revelation from the Lord that teaches us how to care for our bodies and minds. We’ll explore how this commandment came to be, what it includes, and why it matters today!
But that’s not all! These sections of the Doctrine & Covenants are full of rich insights. You’ll also learn about the establishment of the First Presidency and the Lord’s guidance in organizing His Church; the Apocrypha—what it is and what the Lord says about studying it; and the United Firm—an early Church organization that teaches powerful principles about stewardship and consecration.
Unlock Deeper Study with Guided Prompts
Each week these kits contain verse-by-verse insights and prophetic words to help you understand what the scriptures are teaching,as well as art, tools and further resources to enhance your study.
