LESSON 29 NEPHI PROPHESIES
To teach the children that Heavenly Father sends prophets to teach us about the Savior, help us repent, and warn us of things to come.
LESSON
Truth Revealed puzzle from The Friend (amos 3:7)
We are going to talk about prophets!
Follow the prophet….don’t go astray...he knows the way
If we follow the prophet, we can know the truth and avoid being deceived
Our lesson today is about the prophet Nephi, the son of Helman.
We learned about him last week. He knew a murder had been committed and who the murderer was without being at the scene of the crime.
Tell story from illustrated scriptures
Questions to ask along the way:
Helaman 7:13-18
Why do you think he talked about repentance? What must we do to repent?
How did Nephi know these things would happen?
What have other prophets said will happen to us if we do not repent? How can listening to the living prophet help us in our lives?
What have other prophets said will happen to us if we do not repent? How can listening to the living prophet help us in our lives?
How did some of the people defend Nephi?Why does it sometimes take courage to stand up for the truth? What can we do to sustain the living prophet?
Helaman 8:14–16.What have all the holy prophets testified of?
What can we do to strengthen our testimonies of the living prophet?
Helaman 9:39–41 What effect did Nephi’s revelation have on some of the people? How have you been blessed by following the prophets?
Treasure hunt → what is the treasure when we follow the prophet?
- Hand out footprints
- Someone designated to be the scripture looker-upper
- Final treasure is birthday cookies

WHAT IS THE POINT?
How do we lay up treasures in heaven?
Where we spend our time and what we do each day are the treasures.
Are we spending time serving others?
Are we following the prophet?
Are we following our Bishop?
What about our Primary President?
What about our parents?
What about being kind?
Word of wisdom?
Staying clean and pure?
Being worthy of taking the sacrament?
Being modest and using good language?
If we lay up our treasures in worldly things, we aren’t building up our treasures in heaven.
Where your treasure is, there your heart be also.
THE LESSON OUTLINE
Nephi prophesied → prophets are true → follow the prophet → the prophet tells us how to live our lives
→ how to live our lives teaches us how to have eternal life/treasure in heaven
But behold, ye have rejected the truth, and rebelled against your holy God; and even at this time, instead of laying up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where nothing doth corrupt, and where nothing can come which is unclean, ye are heaping up for yourselves wrath against the day of judgment.
Helaman 8:25
