“Remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation.”Helaman 5:12

Ask: What is one storm you can see coming this year, and one way you’ll build on the rock before it hits?

Try: Learn one New Testament doctrinal mastery passage this week. Two minutes a day on Line upon Line is enough.
