Identify the doctrine: When we build our houses on rock, or when we build our lives on the rock of our Redeemer, no matter what storms or hard times may come, we will not be washed away or fall.


Help the children understand it:

1. Sing Wiggle Song

Listening and Singing Experiences:

Junior/Senior Primary

1. The Wise Man and the Foolish Man (p281)
• 1 minute - Attention getter: Last week we talked about building towers with blocks and about a wise man and a foolish man. The wise man chose to build his house on rock so it had a sure/solid foundation. What are ways that you can build your "house" (life) on "rock" (Christ)? (Read scriptures, attend church, visit with missionaries, pray, serve others, etc)
• 5 minutes - Sing the Wise Man/Foolish Man, determine any tricky spots. Practice singing using "how to sing" sticks or Sing-O-Meter. Invite kids to help you.
  Help them apply it in their lives/Testimony: What can we do to build upon the rock of our Redeemer? (go to church, read scriptures, pray, choose the right, be a good example, etc.) I promise each of you that if you do these things, when you have hard times/trials you will have the strength and bravery to get through them!
• 5 minutes - Review "Nephi's Courage" using story sticks and book. Review 1 verse at a time.
2. Fast finisher - Songs of the Heart

1. Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam
