Today we look at this iconic verse and find hope that God doesn't expect us to do it alone.
An angel came to King Benjamin to deliver a message of peace and joy, it should come as no surprise that the message of peace and joy was centered in Christ.
Today we hear about the blessings of living a life trying to follow the Lord.
We are told in this scripture that we will always be unprofitable servants, so why do we serve? Join me today as we talk about why there is no such thing as evening the score with Heavenly Father.
As King Benjamin begins his sermon he invites the people to treat sacred things sacred. Our attitude toward the sacred can determine how we receive communication from our Heavenly Father.
Here we see a covenant being associated with a name change. It is a familiar doctrine from the Old Testament.
Have you ever noticed that prophets of the Book of Mormon make a point to say that their dad taught them the language of their fathers. Really what that is saying is that their parents taught them how to read the scriptures.
Today we talk about how we are blessed today because Mormon was willing to follow a prompting years ago.
Have you ever done something hard, and not known why until later? Here in the book of Omni, nearly 300 years after the fact, we see so clearly why it was so important that Nephi and his brothers get the brass plates.
Today we talk about family history, and how everything we do in the gospel is centered on Jesus Christ.
"A man filled with the love of God is not content with blessing his family alone, but is anxious to bless the whole human race." Today we see that the conversion of Enos lead him to want others to experience conversion as well.
Today we look at the aspect of Enos' conversion where he learns to receive and believe personal revelation.
Have you ever been super hungry? Enos was...after all that is why he was out hunting. But once the testimony of the words his father had taught him sunk into his heart, his hunger for the spiritual far outweighed the hunger for the physical.
Enos teaches us the process of conversion as he goes from hearing the word of his father, to believing them to living by them.
Today we talk about how to guard our testimonies and keep them safe.
Jacob 6 seemed to be the end of Jacob's writing. He had said his goodbyes! What was so important that it caused him to write one last chapter? It was a warning to us!
Today we talk about one of the greatest sermons ever taught in just 3 words: OH BE WISE!
God has enlisted us in His work, and has promised us certain blessings as we make His work and glory our work and glory.
Today we talk about what it means that we worship a God who weeps, and the blessing that it is to be part of His work.
Sometimes the master's pruning hurts in the moment. But if we can remember that the mater of the vineyard wants nothing more than for us to return to Him, we can have faith to submit to His will. Someone asked for the talk where yesterday's Uchtdorf quote came from, since I can't respond individually to those responses, I thought I would post it here. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2014/10/living-the-gospel-joyful?lang=eng
