Stand Still, and See the Salvation of the Lord — Gospel Doctrine Teacher Guide

Exodus 14–18 · Week 16 · April 13–19, 2026

Teaching Gospel Doctrine is one of the most meaningful callings in the Church — and one of the hardest to prepare for well. This guide does the heavy lifting so you can walk into class confident, prepared, and ready to let the Spirit lead.

Built around three focused lesson points with a clear doctrinal thread: God's daily provision and the pattern of faith-first miracles.

What's Inside:

• Lesson Overview & Purpose — core doctrines, learning objectives, and a pre-class reflection prompt to prepare your heart before you prepare your lesson
• Opening Hook (5 min) — an object lesson using a rock and a glass of water that sets up the entire lesson and invites immediate personal connection
• Lesson Point 1: Stand Still (15 min) — Exodus 14, cross-references through Nephi, Limhi, and Alma, and discussion questions on faith before miracles
• Lesson Point 2: Daily Manna (15 min) — the manna rules as spiritual curriculum, bridging to the sacrament prayers, and what deliberate weekly gathering looks like
• Lesson Point 3: Rock & Hands (10 min) — Christ as Rock and Living Water, Aaron and Hur, and sustaining those around you
• Scripture Chain Activity (5 min) — a guided chain from Exodus 17 through 1 Corinthians, John, Helaman, and D&C 20
• 5 Teaching Tips — including how to use the miracles as curriculum, not just stories
• Closing Testimony Prompt — so you know exactly how to end

The miracles are stories. The Rock is a person. This guide helps your class feel the difference.
