This is our last lesson for New Testament. We hope you have enjoyed our lessons and that your family has learned a lot and increased your testimonies of the Savior this year by learning of his life and ministry.
We know that life is crazy this time of year so we tried to keep this weeks lesson simple, easy, and fun.
We’re finishing up with Revelations chapters 12-22. The bible teaches us that good will prevail over evil. Read about the war in heaven in Revelations 12:7-17 and teach how it still continues on Earth today. Discuss what happened before we came to Earth and how we chose to follow Christ and come to Earth. Use the premortal life foldable book. Be sure to follow the directions in your materials on how to cut and fold it.

Display the print for this week. Read more about being faithful to receive celestial glory in Revelation 22:1-5. Relate this to anyone you know and love who has left this earth. Share about life after death and that we can return to live with Heavenly Father after this life. Sing Families Can Be Together Forever and use the family coloring page provided.
This is a great time to share about temples and temple work. Discuss the importance of being sealed together as a family and the difference between a temple marriage and a civil marriage. You may consider showing your wedding pictures or watching a video about temple work from churchofjesuschrist.org. Discuss what you feel your family needs to learn.
Be sure to read over the bonus ideas for this week. There are a lot of fun ones like winter bingo as well as meaningful ones like having a family testimony meeting and talking about what you’ve learned from the New Testament this year.

In every moment of Joseph’s story, God was with him. From his brothers’ betrayal and serving Potiphar, to a friend of Pharaoh and the savior of his family, at no time was Joseph forgotten by God. Through the good and the bad, he trusted that God knew who he was and had faith that everything would be all right.
Abraham’s posterity was promised many blessings of eternal significance, but that didn’t mean everything would be perfect. His grandsons, Jacob and Esau, fought over who should inherit their father’s birthright. Relatives lied to and tricked each other. The prophet’s very own family was dysfunctional, yet that didn’t stop those who were righteous from striving to follow Jesus Christ.
Abraham and Sarah had a lot to worry about. From infertility and famine to war and the safety of their family, it could have been easy to forget their covenants while focusing on their daily concerns. Yet they showed faith by putting the Lord first each day. As a result of keeping their covenants, they knew the Lord would help them throughout their lives. As Abraham told his son, Isaac, “God will provide” (Genesis 22:8). We should follow Abraham’s example of faith and always put the Lord first.
