Reflection and Synthesis Report Name: Lindsey Till Week #: 06 Instructions In the table provided below, you will complete your reflection and synthesis responses for this week. Be sure to complete each Response section. When referencing scripture or other materials, only include a brief or abbreviated summary along with the citation as these cannot be included in the required word count. When you have completed the document, save it to your computer and follow the instructions in your course to submit the assignment to your instructor. 1. Did you complete all the assigned reading for the week? [Yes ⃝x or No ⃝] 2. Article of Faith Please identify the Article of Faith studied this week Response: We studied the 5 th article of faith. Which states “We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.” This is talking about the power of the priesthood. 3. Explanation of Key Events and Scriptures Demonstrate your comprehension of fundamental truths of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and your ability to use the scriptures to teach them. Be sure to include specific scripture references from the assigned readings Scenario: Imagine you have been asked by a family member or friend to share what you believe about the truths and events you studied this week. Share in your own words several insights as though you are really trying to teach someone. Include at least three scripture references to support the truths you teach (you may reference them, but there is no need to quote them). Share your testimony as you would when teaching someone. Your response will be evaluated by the following criteria: 1. 200–300 words in length (please include your word count at the bottom of the section). 2. Include at least 3 scripture references . Response: This week we talked about the 5 th article of faith, this talks the power of the priesthood. We also studied Moroni

chapter 3. This chapter is about the laying on of hands to receive the power of the priesthood, and the importance of priesthood powers and teachers in the church. We should feel so blessed to have the priesthood in our daily lives. We also looked at D&C 22 which talks about the importance of baptism and how everyone needs to be baptized to reach the highest level of heaven. We also know that baptism needs to happen by someone who holds the priesthood. This just shows another importance in the priesthood and how we can’t get back to our Heavenly Father without the power of the priesthood. We also looked at Joseph Smith history chapter 1:68-72, this is about how Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery both got baptized and received the gift of the Holy Ghost. This is important part of our church history, and how the gospel was restored to the earth again. Without Joseph Smith restoring the gospel and the priesthood we would not be able to return to our Heavenly Father again. Word Count:196 4. Synthesis: Personal Relevance and Application to the Real World There are many serious challenges people encounter on a daily basis that are consequences of living in a fallen world. The gospel truths taught in the Articles of Faith have tremendous power to help people find answers, rise above problems, or simply feel God's love and concern for them again. Each week you will choose an issue (below) and think deeply about how the truths in that week’s Article of Faith can offer hope to those who are experiencing the problem. If you have another issue that particularly interests you, then choose your own: abortion abuse/bullying addiction depression divorce domestic violence energy/environmental issues violence gambling genocide homosexuality international terrorism materialism natural disasters pornography
