16-18 Year Old Sunday School Review
Outline: How do I keep my covenant to always remember the Savior?
We discussed the significance of the sacrament and the covenant we made at baptism and renew during the sacrament each week to always remember the Savior. We discussed scriptures and teachings of Elder Holland regarding how to keep this covenant.
The Challenge was extended for class members to take some time today to think about the Savior and choose a goal of something they can do every day this week to remember the Savior.

Gospel Doctrine Review
Lesson 24: “Be Not Deceived, but Continue in Steadfastness”
Doctrine and Covenants 26; 28; 43:1–7; 50; 52:14–19;
Here are some of the forces that Satan applies to us:
- Misunderstanding of the role of the Prophet
- Worldliness (in particular business, political, and financial scheming)
- Looking beyond the mark
- Unhealthy spiritual experimentation
- Intellectual pride

Let us all accept the Lord’s tender invitation:
“I am the good shepherd, and the stone of Israel. He that buildeth upon this rock shall never fall.”23

In D&C 121:34–46 , the Lord reveals principles for using the priesthood. In addition to their application to priesthood holders, these principles apply generally to all human relationships. How can we apply these principles as we interact with others?
