Resources From the Church

Come, Follow Me—For Home and Church: Old Testament

This manual supports gospel learning and scripture study for individuals and families at home. It also serves as the curriculum for Primary, Sunday School, Young Women classes, and Aaronic Priesthood quorum meetings. Available online, in the Gospel Library app, and as a printed book.

Scripture Helps: Old Testament

This new resource provides

• Background information (historical, cultural, and geographic insights that provide context to stories, teachings, and doctrine of the scriptures)
• Explanations of language (clarifications of difficult wordings, archaic expressions, and confusing translations)
• Help with difficult or confusing passages (Scriptures of the Restoration, the words of modern prophets and apostles, and reliable scholarship to help clarify the meaning of difficult passages)
• Talks and articles
• Images and videos

Available online and in the Gospel Library app. Links to these Scripture Helps can be found throughout the Come, Follow Me manual and in related sections of digital scriptures. These resources build on the institute student manuals that many members are familiar with, now updated and expanded for broader use.

Thirty-two fun coloring and activity pages designed to introduce children to the Old Testament. Activities include dot-to-dot, mazes, and puzzles as well as fun things to do as a family. Available online, in the Gospel Library app, and as a 8.5 x 11-inch printed book.

“Insights from the Apostles” Videos

This monthly video series launched in 2025 will continue in 2026. Each video features a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles sharing messages related to an Old Testament scripture. Videos will be published each month in the digital Come, Follow Me study guides. They can also be found in a collection in the Gospel Library.

Games, Stories, and Activities For Children

The Church publishes a collection of games, stories, and activities for teaching children, correlated to the Come, Follow Me study guides. These resources can help parents and Primary leaders. Links are provided in each week’s Come, Follow Me study guide.

Gospel Library Study Plans

To help you track your gospel study, the Church provides a variety of study plans, including a study plan for the Old Testament. You can make a plan to follow the Come, Follow Me weekly schedule, to study the Old Testament at your own pace, and to study the required readings for seminary. To access study plans, go to the Home section of the Gospel Library app.

The Gospel Learning and Teaching Email Subscription

You can receive links to resources that support Come, Follow Me lessons, practical tips to improve study and teaching, and additional content and ideas for teaching children and youth. Available as an email subscription and on Facebook and Instagram.

Gospel Topics and Questions

A collection of resources ranging from simple gospel-related definitions to in-depth study guides. Available online and in the Gospel Library app.

Alternate Bible Translations

The Church publishes its own edition of the Bible in select languages and has identified preferred editions of the Bible in many languages spoken by Church members. Church members are instructed to generally use these editions in Church meetings and classes. However, the General Handbook has recently been updated to clarify that other Bible translations may also be used that might be easier to understand and doctrinally clear. Learn more and see examples of recommended bible translations.
