Are you studying the New Testament this year? Often we read through the New Testament and appreciate the stories and highlight specific verses which is great. However, learning about who wrote a book of scripture and why can really broaden our understanding and enrich our studies. Print some New Testament definition cards to help you and your family enjoy the scriptures even more.
Save it for later, pin it now!
Each definition card explains a little bit about an individual, group, or thing as well as leaves space for you to jot down some additional notes and highlights. We put ours around a key ring and keep it near all our scriptures so we can reference them anytime. Take a minute to review the relevant cards before you hold your family scripture studies. We can become so familiar with something that we forget to explain it to our children. For example, the JST. Do they know what it stands for and why it was written? Do they know where to look for it?
You will find the following definition cards in this download:
Matthew
Mark
Luke
John
JST
Joseph Smith- Matthew
Kingdom of Heaven
Pharisees
Sadducees
Priesthood Keys
Saul (Paul)
Stephen
Quorums of the Seventy
A Certain Woman
Epistles
Learn more about the footnotes in the Bible as well! Head to ”Taking Note: Marking the Footnotes in the New LDS Edition of the Bible,” an article from the Ensign when the footnotes first came out. It explains what the different abbreviations mean, some of the ways it’s helpful, as well as gives suggestions for how you might want to mark them in your scriptures. See if you can find all the different examples in your scriptures as a family.
Hoping for additional definition cards? Let me know in the comments and I’ll see what I can do.
Celebrate the sweetest story ever told, one tiny treat at a time.
Turn everyday candies into thoughtful Christmas gifts, a daily scripture countdown, or a family Christmas Eve devotional. Our Nativity Candy Circles attach to wrapped treats like Hershey’s Kisses, Rolos, and miniature Reese’s peanut butter cups, adding a reminder of Jesus Christ to each little bite.
For a countdown, include one of each picture and choose a candy at random each day, December 1–24. Match the picture to the scripture guide and read about the Savior’s birth, life, and mission. For a Christmas devotional, use the separate numbered Nativity guide to assign readings and share the Christmas story together.
Or simply fill a mug, jar, treat bag, or stocking with decorated candies. No counting required! Add a matching gift tag for neighbors, teachers, friends, or the families you minister to.
Your instant-download PDF includes:
Two sets of 24 candy-circle designs: a KJV Bible edition and a Bible + Book of Mormon edition, with four complete sets per candy-circle page.
Matching scripture countdown guides for both editions, with picture references, short reading titles, and checkboxes.
Nativity devotional reading guides for both editions, with numbered assignments for reading the Christmas story in order.
Coordinating gift tags and jar-lid labels.
Assembly instructions and creative gifting ideas.
Print the candy circles at actual size, cut with scissors or a ¾-inch circle punch, and attach them to your wrapped candies with a glue stick or double-sided tape.
This is a digital download. Candy, containers, and assembly supplies are not included.
