Lesson 176 · For the Strength of Youth
Counseling Together
Help students practice counseling with others in the Lord’s work.
Teach from the manual first
The lesson comes from the Church’s seminary manual
Use the official lesson as written. These activities take a few minutes to open or review class, and the send-home card helps families reinforce what was taught.
As we seek the Lord’s will when we counsel with others, the Lord will inspire us to make better decisions than we would on our own.
New Testament Seminary Teacher Manual (2027). Follow your coordinator’s pacing guide.

“For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;”Acts 15:28
Ask: What decision could you counsel about this week, and with whom?
Try: Ask a parent or leader to counsel with you about one real decision. Listen first, then share.
