Instructions for Discussion
Below are suggested questions you can ask students to reflect on to help with your discussion. You may be inspired to ask different questions based on the needs of your group.
- Describe how you see God's hand in the creations he has made.
- Elder Egbo talked about how Jesus "grew from grade to grace, until he received the fullness." How are you learning from "grace to grace?" How do you allow Christ's grace to enable you as you learn in your classes and through the Spirit?
- Can you share an expeirence where the Holy Ghost taught you through your studies - not by what was said in the curriculum, but what was taught to you in your heart?
- How are your BYU-Pathway education and your own personal study helping you to participate in the creation process that President Monson talked about?
