  2. Ether 6-11, 14-15 • We have just finished the story of the Nephite civilization. We are now looking at Jaredite history. Quickly scan these chapters, looking for five things in the Jaredite history that are very “Nephite” in nature.

  3. Ether 6-11, 14-15 We have just finished the story of the Nephite civilization. We are now looking at Jaredite history. Quickly scan these chapters, looking for five things in the Jaredite history that are very “Nephite” in nature. -pride cycle -secret combinations -rejected and murdered prophets -boats -promised land -prophet/leader leading them to Promised land -lonely final prophet -complete annihilation of a civilization Why is it noteworthy to realize that the Jaredites were “Nephite” even before the Nephites were? What value is there in looking at these two civilizations side-by-side?

  4. Ether 12:3-23, 27-31—Moroni’s Discourse on Faith • Do a faith fall; why do they call it a faith fall in light of the definitions for faith that we find in Alma 32:21 and Ether 12:6 • Look for the word ‘faith’—it’s in there 34 times. • Moroni here makes a list of great Nephite and Jaredite accomplishments that were done “by faith”. Mark the word ‘faith’ each time you see it and underline what was accomplished by faith. • Is there a New Testament chapter that is structured similarly that lists biblical accomplishments that were done by faith? (Hebrews 11) • Who is the audience for Ether 12? Why does Moroni want us to understand that all of these great B of M events were accomplished “by faith”? • Write your own Ether 12 or Hebrews 11.

  5. Faith…Principle of Action and Power “Faith is not only the principle of action, but of power also, in all intelligent beings, whether in heaven or on earth. . . . “. . . It was by faith that the worlds were framed. God spake, chaos heard, and worlds came into order by reason of the faith there was in Him. So with man also; he spake by faith in the name of God, and the sun stood still, the moon obeyed, mountains removed, prisons fell, lions’ mouths were closed, the human heart lost its enmity, fire its violence, armies their power, the sword its terror, and death its dominion; and all this by reason of the faith which was in him” (Joseph Smith, Lectures on Faith,[1985], 3, 5).
