I can faithfully keep my covenants.
In the book of Hosea, the Lord compared His covenants with His people to a marriage. To learn from this comparison, you and your children could look at a picture of a bride and groom and talk about how Heavenly Father wants a husband and wife to treat each other. Help your children find words in Hosea 2:19–20 that describe how the Lord feels about us. How can we show the Lord that we love Him and will be faithful to Him?
Linked by His Promises
Before class: Cut out the paper strips, hide them around the room.
During class: Have your students find them. Have them look up Hosea 2:19-20 to put them in order and make sure they have them all. Then make a paper chain together. Hold up the finished chain and explain that the links represent our covenant relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. How can we show the Lord that we want to keep our covenants?
Great for Thanksgiving
“It is time to seek the Lord.”
Hosea 10:12 refers to sowing, reaping, time, and rain to invite us to seek the Lord. As you read this verse, what creative ideas come to mind that could inspire the children to seek Him? For example, maybe your children could draw a clock and write down ways they can seek the Lord at different times throughout the day. A song like “Anytime, Anywhere” (Hymns for Home and Church, Gospel Library) could help you teach that it is always a good time to seek the Lord.
Or your children could do simple actions that go with the verse, such as pretending to plant seeds, pick vegetables, or stand in the rain. Help your children compare planting a seed and reaping good food to living righteously and receiving the Lord’s blessings. Then you could tell each other about the blessings the Lord has rained upon you as you have tried to seek Him.
You can print these in Black and White, and the kids can glue the hands onto the time of day when they can seek the Lord, if you don't have brads that help it turn.
Jesus Christ is my Savior and Redeemer.
To emphasize the truth in Hosea 13:4 that there is no Savior except Jesus Christ, you could show your children pictures of several people, including Jesus. Your children could take turns pointing to the person who has the power to save us from sin and death. Share your testimony of Jesus Christ and His Atonement.
Your children could look for words in Hosea 13:4, 14 that describe Jesus Christ. What do these words teach us about Him? Consider helping your children use the Guide to the Scriptures to find other scriptures that teach that Jesus is our Savior and Redeemer. Share with each other how you feel about Jesus Christ.
Cut these out and have your students place them on top of the scripture after reading it.
The Holy Ghost can guide me.
Maybe you could help your children understand Joel 2:28–29 by letting them pour a liquid and then contrasting it with a drip or a trickle. What could it mean for the Spirit to be “poured out” upon us?
Begin by reading Joel 2:28. Ask the children to listen for what the Lord promises to do with His Spirit.
First, put just a few drops of water into a cup. Ask, “Is this what you imagine when you hear the words pour out?”
Then pour a steady stream into the cup.
As you read Joel 2:28–29 together, you might invite your children to insert each other’s names in place of the phrases “your sons” and “your daughters.” Then help them search scriptures like John 14:16; Moroni 10:5; Doctrine and Covenants 42:17 to find out how the Spirit can help them.
