We read this together as a family in conjunction with reading the entire New Testament together. Excellent family time each evening before bed.

This guide helped me expand my knowledge of the New Testament and ponder it in a new way. The questions are both inspired and inspiring.

Really insightful questions and room to write thoughts. I really enjoyed all the Conference talk references and that they were linked on the app.

"As you may recall, the book of Revelation begins with the Savior declaring Himself to be “the beginning and the ending” (Revelation 1:8). Fittingly, it ends with similar words: “I am … the beginning and the end” (Revelation 22:13). But what does that mean? The beginning and the end of what? The book of Revelation powerfully testifies that Jesus Christ is the beginning and end of everything—of the great, sweeping drama of human existence and salvation. He is “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:8). And He is the King of kings who brings an end to wickedness, sorrow, and even death itself and ushers in “a new heaven and a new earth” (Revelation 21:1).

"Jesus Christ was “in the beginning with God.” John began his Gospel by describing the work that Christ performed before He was born: “In the beginning … the Word [Jesus Christ] was with God.” What do you learn from verses 1–5 about the Savior and His work? You can find helpful clarifications in Joseph Smith Translation, John 1:1–5 (in the Bible appendix). As you begin your study of the Savior’s life, why is it important to know about His premortal work?"

"The Sermon on the Mount is one of the best-known discourses in Christianity. The Savior taught with rich images, such as a city set on a hill, lilies of the field, and wolves disguised as sheep. But the Sermon on the Mount is far more than a beautiful speech. The power of the Savior’s teachings to His disciples can change our lives, especially when we live by them. Then His words become more than words; they become a sure foundation for life that, like the wise man’s house, can withstand the world’s winds and floods."

"Jesus Christ directs His Church through the Holy Ghost. The book of Acts records the Apostles’ efforts to establish the Church of Jesus Christ after the Savior’s Ascension. Although Jesus Christ was no longer on the earth, He directed the Church by revelation through the Holy Ghost. Consider how the Holy Ghost guided the new leaders of Christ’s Church as you review the following passages: Acts 1:1–8, 15–26; 2:1–42; 4:1–13, 31–33. As members of Christ’s Church today, we each have a responsibility to participate in the work of salvation and exaltation—to live the gospel of Jesus Christ, care for those in need, invite others to come unto Christ, and unite families for eternity (see General Handbook, 1.2). What do you learn from these early Apostles about how you can rely on the Holy Ghost to guide your efforts?"

Uplifting and life-changing

As a follower of my Savior Jesus Christ I was grateful for the chance to have this weekly study guide to delve further into the teachings of the New Testament. Breaking down the scriptures into small sections made it easier to ponder and liken them unto myself. I love the discussion questions posed and the opportunity it gave my family to share our testimonies as we grow and learn how to be more like Jesus.
