A 23-slide PowerPoint Presentation for the Seminary Lesson 47: D&C 42:1–29
"In December 1830, the Lord commanded the Saints to gather to Ohio. In January 1831, He promised that they would receive His law. On February 9, 1831, shortly after arriving in Kirtland, 12 elders of the Church gathered together and united in prayer, as the Lord had commanded them. On this occasion, Joseph Smith received a revelation that now comprises Doctrine and Covenants 42:1–73. He received further instruction on February 23. Taken together, these revelations are known as “the law of the Church”. Doctrine and Covenants 42 will be divided among three lessons. This lesson covers verses 1–29, which provided instruction on teaching the gospel and set forth general laws of conduct for members of the Church." [Introduction from the online lesson at lds.org]
