This is the beginning of Alma and Amulek's preaching to the people of Ammonihah. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is the story of Alma's travels and teachings to the people of Gideon and Mulek. He starts to preach in Ammonihah then gets kicked out and is ministered to by an angel on his way to the land of Aaron.. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As Alma mentored his sons in teaching the gospel, he counseled them not only to cultivate qualities such as diligence, temperance, humility, and self-reflection, but to also use “boldness, but not overbearance” (Alma 38:12) as part of their approach. The words boldness, bold, and boldly are used twenty-seven times throughout the Book Mormon, primarily to indicate that a person, or a group of people, have spoken or acted with “courage, daring, fearlessness; confidence, assurance, [and] security” (Oxford English Dictionary Online, OED). On the other hand, overbearance is used only once and seems to mean “to overcome, put down, or repress, as by power, authority, influence, or emotional pressure” (OED). In this episode, Dr. Jan J. Martin, associate professor of ancient scripture, discusses Alma's stylistic teaching advice given to his son Shiblon. She highlights two critical areas of Alma's methodology: the origin of his prophetic and fatherly counsel for teaching the gospel and his practice of leaning into the Holy Ghost for inspiration on what and how to teach. Alma's experiences in Ammonihah provide important instruction for anyone with leadership or teaching responsibilities who desire to be bold but not overbearing.    Publications: ·      “Use Boldness but Not Overbearance” (Book of Mormon Insights: Letting God Prevail in Your Life, Religious Studies Center, 2024) ·      “‘Filthy This Day before God': Jacob's Use of Filthy and Filthiness in His Nephite Sermons” (Jacob: Faith and Great Anxiety, Religious Studies Center, 2024) ·      “The Prophet Nephi and the Covenantal Nature of ‘Cut Off,' ‘Cursed,' ‘Skin of Blackness,' and ‘Loathsome'” (They Shall Grow Together: The Bible in the Book of Mormon, Religious Studies Center, 2022) ·      The Power of Christ's Deliverance (Religious Studies Center, 2021) ·      “Samuel the Lamanite: Confronting the Wall of Nephite Prejudice” (Samuel the Lamanite: That Ye Might Believe, Religious Studies Center, 2021) ·      “The Theological Value of the King Hames Language in the Book of Mormon” (Journal of Book of Mormon Studies, 27, 2018)   Click here to learn more about Jan J.

The Lamanites destroy the people of Ammonihah before they can put up a sufficient defense. This is a reading of Alma Chapter 16. Here is a link to the text: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/alma/16?lang=eng

Send us a Text Message.From Come Follow me:      "In many ways, life in Ammonihah had been good for both Amulek and Zeezrom. Amulek was “a man of no small reputation,” with “many kindreds and friends” and “much riches” (Alma 10:4). Zeezrom was an expert lawyer who enjoyed “much business” (Alma 10:31). Then Alma arrived with an invitation to repent and “enter into the rest of the Lord” (Alma 13:16). For Amulek, Zeezrom, and others, accepting this invitation required sacrifice and even led to almost unbearable adversity.      But of course the story doesn't end there. In Alma 13–16, we learn what ultimately happens to people who believe “in the power of Christ unto salvation” (Alma 15:6). Sometimes there's deliverance, sometimes healing—and sometimes things don't get any easier in life. But always, “the Lord receiveth [His people] up unto himself, in glory” (Alma 14:11). Always, the Lord grants “power, according to [our] faith … in Christ” (Alma 14:28). And always, that faith gives us “hope that [we] shall receive eternal life” (Alma 13:29). As you read these chapters, you can take comfort in these promises, and you may come to understand better what Alma meant when he spoke of entering into “the rest of the Lord” (Alma 13:16)."Support the Show:www.patreon.com/SaintsintheSouth(The thoughts, ideas, and beliefs we express on this channel do not officially represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  For additional information or official statements, please visit the website below.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng)#biblestudy #oldtestament #religion #churchofjesuschrist #ldspodcast #christianpodcast #missionary #lds #biblestories #christ #faith #faithinchrist #scriptures #bookofmormon #doctrineandcovenants #pearlofgreatprice #temples #houseofthelord #mormon #mormonbeliefs #christiansandmormons #god #endure #ironrod #faithineveryfootstep #generalconference #prophets #followtheprophet #commandments #love #service #charity #keepstriving #keeponstriving #gospelgrowthandgoodtimes #become #newtestamentiMOM PodcastIf you need a mom friend right now, you've come to the right place.

Consider joining us at TSAR.website to get more thoughts on this week's reading, especially Alma 13, which we don't cover very much in this episode. In this episode Kylie Turley and Kerry talk about the horrific story of burning women and children at Ammonihah. The delve into the possibility that Amulek's family was part of the martyrs. They talk about how, either way, this would have affected Amulek, who had brought these people to believe and then watched them suffer for it. They use this to discuss hard things that happen to the best of people, and how we can wonder where God is during those times. They look to the Book of Mormon chapters for answers to those tough questions.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [ALMA 8-12] Insights“They Were Steadfast and Immovable”June 17 – June 23 2024WEEK 26: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:Alma and Amulek refuse to give up on the people of Ammonihah. This week, Alma will teach us about Melchizedek and his ability to use the power of the Priesthood to change a sin-sick city. Alma's message resonates with some, but others turn violently against the truth. They'll execute women and children in front of Alma and Amulek, almost daring them to intervene. Later, they'll strip these mighty men of God of everything possible but Alma and Amulek stand strong. After a harrowing time in prison, they plead for help from the Lord and receive deliverance. Amazingly, they'll use that freedom to lift the pains of Zeezrom and help restore the Nephites to peace and truth. It's a beautiful week of study.Questions to Consider:Alma 14:8 | Why is the war tactic of targeting women so effective at long-term destruction? Is the opposite true? If we care for mothers, can we change the world? Could that be what motivates our Relief Society leaders today?Alma 15:18 | What does “strengthening him in the Lord” mean? Are there important parallels between this story and the parable of the Good Samaritan or any of the miracles of Jesus from the New Testament?Alma 16:4-8 | When have you seen other stories like this in scripture? Does this still happen today? How do leaders turn to the prophet today for economic, military, or political guidance?CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:04:01 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:09:21 SPARK 1: A HOUSE OF ORDER00:18:56 SPARK 2: SHADOW STORIES00:34:39 SPARK 3: THOU ART NOT YET AS JOB00:46:37 QUESTIONS00:51:58 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

Zeezrom was a lawyer that loved money! He loved causing contention or fighting so he could earn money. He argued with Alma and Amulek and tried to get them to deny there was a Christ. He even said he would pay them to deny Him.  Alma and Amulek could not be tricked.  They worked for God and knew Zeezrom was a liar. As Alma and Amulek were teaching the people of Ammonihah, something they said about eternal life, made sense to Zeezrom and he began to shake thinking maybe they were teaching truths. Alma and Amulek were taken to prison.  Zeezrom felt horrible.  He felt it was his fault. He lay on his bed at home with a very high fever. A few days passed and he heard Alma and Amulek were in his city Sidon.  He sent for them to come to his home.  They asked if he believed Christ could heal him. Alma blessed him to be healed according to his faith.  Zeezrom Leapt to his feet! By God's power Zeezrom was healed.  He became a mission companion to Alma and Amulek and taught people the truth about Jesus Christ the rest of his life  

An in-depth study of Alma 13-16. This lesson focuses on Alma and Amulek's mission to Ammonihah, foreordination, foreshadowings of Christ, a preparatory redemption, equality of opportunity vs. equality of outcome, anticipating the coming of Christ, true repentance, divine restraint, martyrdom, the conversion of Zeezrom, being brought into God's house, and more.

June 24-30 Have you ever thought about Alma and Amulek watching the believers in Ammonihah burn? It is not just the pain that these are their tender converts. Could it be that Amulek's own family was among that group because he is in particular anguish after the event?

The middle chapters of the Book of Alma have a strong emphasis on missionary stories and events. Alma 9-14 is about Alma and Amulek's preaching in Ammonihah.  Alma 17-26 centers us on Ammon with King Lamoni and Aaron with Lamoni's father. Last, Alma 30-34 take us to Alma and Amulek's missionary encounters with Korihor and the Zoramites. In this episode, BYU professors John Hilton, Jan Martin, Tyler Griffin, and Dan Belnap explore these missionary journeys and teachings in an inspiring scripture conversation.

Alma, the prophet goes to Ammonihah to tell the wicked people to repent or their city will be destroyed.  Amulek takes Alma to his house and Alma teaches all of Amulek's household.  Alma and Amulek then start to teach the people of Ammonihah.  Some people believe and repent.  Some people do not and are angry.  They want to kill Alma and Amulek.  They take those that believe and the scriptures and throw them into a big fire.  They force Alma and Amulek to watch.  Alma and Amulek are so sad.  But Alma tells Amulek those who die in the fire will be in Heaven with God. Alma and Amulek are thrown in prison many days.  They don't have food or water and are treated very badly.  After many days Alma cries to God and their bands are loosed and the walls of the prison shake and fall.  Everyone dies in the prison but Alma and Amulek.  Amulek goes to live with Alma's family.  They serve many missions together.  Amulek knows that after his life, if he continues to follow God, he will live in heaven with his family and God forever.  

Alma preaches to the people of Ammonihah. This is a reading of Alma Chapter 9. Here is a link to the text: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/alma/9?lang=eng

Here, as Alma is feeling like a failure, an angel of the Lord comes and tells him to rejoice! The Lord wasn't concerned that Alma's time in Ammonihah hadn't yielded immediate or measurable success, he was rejoicing in the fact that Alma had been obedient to what the Lord asked of him. Can you and I get ourselves to believe that the Lord is pleased with our efforts? Even on days when we feel like we've failed?

The people in Melek heed his teachings but those in Ammonihah reject him and cast him out of their city. Thankfully, Alma's angel returns to lift his heart and send him back to teach. On his return, he meets Amulek and the two of them become a mighty force for good. Together, they'll slice through the tricks of the adversary with a sword of truth and preach pure, hope-filled messages of Jesus Christ.

Alma 10:17-23 | The Spirit of Prophecy helps Amulek navigate their trick questions. What facet of your life is like this for you? When have you felt that same ease spiritually? If you haven't, what can you learn from your other skill to help you hone your spiritual skills?Alma 11:42-45 | Amulek uses the word “restore” and “restoration” often.

Send us a Text Message.From Come Follow Me:      "God's work will not fail. But our efforts to help with His work sometimes seem to fail—at least, we may not immediately see the outcomes we hope for. We might feel a little like Alma when he preached the gospel in Ammonihah—rejected, spit on, and cast out. Yet when an angel instructed him to go back and try again, Alma courageously “returned speedily” (Alma 8:18), and God prepared the way before him. Not only did He provide Alma with food to eat and a place to stay, but He also prepared Amulek, who became a fellow laborer, a fierce defender of the gospel, and a faithful friend. When we face setbacks and disappointments as we serve in the Lord's kingdom, we can remember how God supported and led Alma, and we can trust that God will support and lead us too, even in difficult circumstances."Support the Show:www.patreon.com/SaintsintheSouth(The thoughts, ideas, and beliefs we express on this channel do not officially represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  For additional information or official statements, please visit the website below.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng)#biblestudy #oldtestament #religion #churchofJesusChrist #ldspodcast #christianpodcast #missionary #lds #biblestories #christ #faith #faithinchrist #scriptures #bookofmormon #doctrineandcovenants #temples #houseofthelord #mormon #mormonbeliefs #chritiansandmormons #god #endure #ironrod #faithineveryfootstep #generalconference #prophets #followtheprophet #commandments #love #service #charity #keepstriving #keeponstriving #gospelgrowthandgoodtimes #become #newtestamentiMOM PodcastIf you need a mom friend right now, you've come to the right place.

Even though the people of Ammonihah did not believe that their city could be destroyed, the Lamanites destroy it in only one day.

When Alma and Amulek leave Ammonihah, they come to the land of Sidom, where they find the men who had been chased out of Ammonihah, including Zeezrom.

Alma and Amulek have delivered the message that God wanted them to give to the people in Ammonihah. But most of the people do not take it well.

Amulek has called out Zeezrom and his tricky questions. Now it's Alma's turn to speak to him and the people of Ammonihah.

Alma and Amulek have been teaching the people in the city of Ammonihah. Now a lawyer named Zeezrom wants to see if he can trick them.

Alma and Amulek have been traveling through the city of Ammonihah telling the people the things that God wants them to hear.

Alma travels to the cities of Gideon, Melek, and Ammonihah to teach the people about God.

LAST WEEK RECAP Before we jump into Alma, let's do a recap of last week. We did not have a podcast episode! I had to substitute a kindergarten class unexpectedly and could not do all the things. However, last week had so many great events.Mosiah 9-22 is the record of Zeniff. Which is so neat. We get several break off stories in Mosiah. We hear about what's happened to those who were separated at various times. Mosiah 11 is the story of Abinidi! In chapter 13, I love that he says, in verse 3 … It reminded me of Nephi and his brothers when Nephi was building the boat. The power that comes to the Lords prophets when they are in need of protection. In chapter 15 verses 1-3 when I read these it seemed to explain to me whey we sometimes hear Jesus Christ referred to as the Father at times. In chapter 17, Alma, who is one of King Noah's priests, believes Abinidi and flees b/c they weren't happy with him when he didn't want to kill Abinidi. Alma runs and finds the waters of Mormon. He writes down everything Abinidi taught. While this is going on Abinidi is put to death. Alma begins his teachings. He starts with a small group that ends up growing and baptizing a lot of people. ALMA THE ELDER We start off with Alma and his people in the wilderness. He is with those who left or were driven out by King Noah. In verse 17-20 it talks about how they were prospering and doing well in the city of Helam.Verse 21-22. They are going to be brought into a bondage - they encounter the Lamanites and the Lamenites say that they are going to protect them. However, they do not do that. They end up telling the people of Alma that they can not pray. In chapter 24: 12-16 Alma says I love that in verse 21 - they took time to Thank the Lord and recognize HIS part and His hand in what had happened. ALMA THE YOUNGER In Alma 27 we meet Alma the Younger and his friends. I want to go ahead and read verse 1 and 3. Some of these were Alma the younger and 3 of Mosiah's sons. Vs. 9Verse 11-16 - I love that he's told to remember those in his past and their lives and stories. This just struck me of the importance of those who have gone before us and their impact on our lives. Of course this is one of those stories most of us know and understand. Alma the younger is converted and becomes a great prophet. Where can you find yourself in this story? What has happened in your life that has strengthened your testimony and made you feel like you want to share the gospel of Jesus Christ? In chapter 29 we get judges appointed. We will see this as the “calendar” for quite some time moving forward. Then Alma begins. The book of Alma is the book of Alma the Younger. He was appointed to be the first chief judge.In chapter 1 of Alma let's read verses 24-26. I also love verse s33. The idea that when we become more still and are righteous, we will not commit wickedness. In Alma 5 Alma is talking to the people of Zarahemla. Let's talk a little about verse 12-16, 19, 21, 26, 27, 28, 31, 34, 36, 40, 43.How do we receive answers: Alma 1:45-46, 48. In Alma 7 Alma testifies and talks of Jesus Christ and His life. He talks about Mary,and the atonement, the resurrection and the deliverance. We are invited to come and be baptized, repent and receive the Holy Ghost. In Alma 8, Alma travels to Melek. It is NOT received well and leaves pretty quickly. However, in verse 15 it says. I love Alma's response in verse 18. Then he will meet Amulek! The great duo is finally coming together. The rest of our section for the week is with these two teachings in Ammonihah. We are going to jump to the end of 13, and chapter 14. I know 14 isn't until next week, technically, but since the story finishes up in 14, I snuck it in. This is when Alma and Amulek are captured. Next week we are reading to Alma 32!

I just started a summer institute class in my area (hello to any of my students that are listening) focused on improving our scripture study skills. This week we kicked off class by identifying the two most important questions asked in scripture. In Mosiah 11:27, King Noah asks after hearing about the prophet Abinadi, "Who is Abinadi, that I and my people should be judged of him, or who is the Lord that shall bring up on my people such great affliction?" Similarly, when Alma preaches to the people of Ammonihah they ask in indignation, "Who art thou…?" and "Who is God…?" (Alma 9:2, 6). In this episode we examine one of the most well-known stories in the Bible, David and Goliath, with a fresh perspective and in search of answers to those two questions.

An angel sent Alma back to Ammonihah one last time to finish the job. Alma and Amulek taught the people a highly divisive higher doctrine, boldly proclaimed repentance and sealed their testimony with a prophecy of destruction. Our modern society today is very similar to the evil and conspiring Nehorites and their sleeping citizen slaves, who “do study at this time that they may destroy the liberty of thy people.” Will we ignore the call to repent, or choose destruction as the city of Ammonihah did?

Zeezrom was a lawyer that loved money! He loved causing contention or fighting so he could earn money. He argued with Alma and Amulek and tried to get them to deny there was a Christ. He even said he would pay them to deny Him. Alma and Amulek could not be tricked. They worked for God and knew Zeezrom was a liar. As Alma and Amulek were teaching the people of Ammonihah, something they said about eternal life, made sense to Zeezrom and he began to shake thinking maybe they were teaching truths. Alma and Amulek were taken to prison. Zeezrom felt horrible. He felt it was his fault. He lay on his bed at home with a very high fever. A few days passed and he heard Alma and Amulek were in his city Sidon. He sent for them to come to his home. They asked if he believed Christ could heal him. Alma blessed him to be healed according to his faith. Zeezrom Leapt to his feet! By God's power Zeezrom was healed. He became a mission companion to Alma and Amulek and taught people the truth about Jesus Christ the rest of his life

Alma, the prophet goes to Ammonihah to tell the wicked people to repent or their city will be destroyed. Amulek takes Alma to his house and Alma teaches all of Amulek's household. Alma and Amulek then start to teach the people of Ammonihah. Some people believe and repent. Some people do not and are angry. They want to kill Alma and Amulek. They take those that believe and the scriptures and throw them into a big fire. They force Alma and Amulek to watch. Alma and Amulek are so sad. But Alma tells Amulek those who die in the fire will be in Heaven with God. Alma and Amulek are thrown in prison many days. They don't have food or water and are treated very badly. After many days Alma cries to God and their bands are loosed and the walls of the prison shake and fall. Everyone dies in the prison but Alma and Amulek. Amulek goes to live with Alma's family. They serve many missions together. Amulek knows that after his life, if he continues to follow God, he will live in heaven with his family and God forever.

On this episode, we cover chapters 15 and 16 of Alma. We discuss Alma and Amulek's arrival in Sidom, the redemption of Zeezrom, the destruction of Ammonihah, and the establishment of the Church all through the land. Recorded 10/24/2021.

On this episode, we discuss Alma chapter 14! Alma and Amulek are taken into bondage and cast into prison. Faithful saints in Ammonihah are burned by fire. Alma and Amulek are delivered by the power of God. Topics include: Mosiah's prophecies, atrocities in human history, types and shadows of Jesus Christ, and much more. Recorded 10/12/2021.

Megan and Calvin share their insights about these women from the Book of Mormon, and the idea of being a "handmaid" of the Lord and how that is related to receiving revelation.  More more information on the podcast or class click here https://solo.to/bro.erekson This class is not an official production of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

As he sat in a jail in Ammonihah, imprisoned for preaching and horrified at witnessing one of the worst atrocities in the Book of Mormon, Alma cried out to God, "How long shall we suffer these great afflictions, O Lord? With so much pain and suffering in the world today we may feel to cry out with the same question. In this study we seek for some answers and solace to why God allows suffering and what we can learn about Him even as we try to endure. Show Notes: Richard G.
