"It has been said that the responsibility of Church members is divided into three main categories: to provide for the salvation of the living members of the Church, to accomplish the necessary work for our kindred dead, and to preach the gospel to all the world. All of these responsibilities require learning, and all that is learned must somehow be taught. We are among those who must teach it."

"The prophet is a teacher; his counselors are teachers; the General Authorities are teachers. Stake presidents and mission presidents are teachers; high councilors and quorum presidents are teachers; bishops are teachers; and so through all of the organizations of the Church. The Church moves forward sustained by the power of the teaching that is accomplished."

—President Boyd K. Packer, Teach Ye Diligently (rev. ed. 1991), 7, 3–4; paragraph divisions altered.

Likening the teachings of modern prophets and apostles to us:

1. Who has the responsibility to teach the world the truths of the Restoration?

2. Give three examples of how the Church moves forward sustained by the power of the teaching that is accomplished.

3. President Packer declares that the prophet is a teacher. What was the subject matter of the last lesson the prophet wanted you to learn?

4. What are the different forums where the messages of God's latter-day prophets are taught to members of the Church? What steps must members take to become better learners of gospel truths?

5. After a person has been taught a lesson by one of God's prophets, what are the obligations and responsibilities expected of that person to act on these truths?
