Have you ever felt lost trying to understand the Book of Revelation? Or wondered how God guides us, step by step, even when we feel like "little children"? This video reveals profound answers from Doctrine & Covenants 77-80! Summary: This comprehensive lesson unpacks the rich teachings of Doctrine & Covenants 77-80, offering insights into God's methods of revelation, personal development, and church organization. We begin by tackling the symbolic language of the Book of Revelation (D&C 77), exploring the meaning behind the "sea of glass," "four beasts," and the significance of "eyes" (knowledge) and "wings" (agency). Discover the purpose of the seven seals and the identity of the angels, including Elias, who gathers Israel and places the "seal of the living God" upon the foreheads of the faithful. Next, we delve into the practicalities of building Zion (D&C 78) through the establishment of the United Firm (later the United Order). Learn how this organization regulates the "storehouse for the poor," fosters "equality in the bonds of heavenly things," and prepares God's people to "stand independent" amidst tribulation. This section emphasizes the crucial role of commandments, councils, and unbreakable covenants in achieving unity and protecting against spiritual blindness. We then focus on personal growth (D&C 78), understanding that while we may often feel like "little children," God patiently leads us along, knowing we "cannot bear all things now". This highlights the importance of receiving all things with thankfulness and becoming "faithful and wise stewards". Finally, we explore the sacred nature of mission calls (D&C 79-80). Whether serving abroad or at home, we are assured that "it mattereth not, for ye cannot go amiss" as we declare the things we have heard, believe, and know to be true. This process of gaining testimony, coupled with the companionship of the Holy Ghost, empowers us to fulfill our divine assignments.

Join Dr. D. Todd Harrison: Jesus Christ's Apostle to All Nations and Generations for powerful testimony concerning Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this revelatory lesson, Dr. D. Todd Harrison: Apostle of Jesus Christ unpacks the sacred truths of Doctrine and Covenants 76 with fire and clarity. Known as “The Vision,” this section reveals the degrees of glory, the fate of the faithful, and the eternal triumph of Jesus Christ's Atonement. With apostolic urgency, Dr. Harrison declares that this is not just a vision of heaven—it is a roadmap for exaltation. The celestial kingdom is real. The testimony of Jesus is the key. And the time to prepare is now."I testify in the name of Jesus Christ that the revelation recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 76 is not symbolic—it is literal. It is the Lord's own declaration of eternity. It is the blueprint of glory. And it is the invitation to rise.I declare that the Celestial Kingdom is reserved for those who receive the testimony of Jesus, are baptized by His authority, and are valiant in that testimony until the end. This is not folklore. This is not theory. This is the voice of the resurrected Christ speaking to His servants. I testify that Jesus Christ lives. He sits at the right hand of the Father. He glorifies the Father and saves all the works of His hands. This truth I declare to every nation and generation.The telestial glory surpasses all understanding. The terrestrial glory is real. But the celestial glory is exaltation—and it is offered to you through covenant, obedience, and the testimony of Jesus. This is the vision. This is the promise. This is the hour.We invite you to follow Moroni's promise:After watching this message, ask God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ if it is true—and listen for the Spirit to answer.As one commissioned personally by Jesus Christ, I testify that what the Spirit has revealed through me in this lesson is God's Truth. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."

The priests took the Ark of the Covenant to the battle and lost it!?! This unique story has somethings to teach us about letting God lead vs. us trying to control the outcome.

Mission Possible! G'day and welcome to Partake! We are now on day 13 of our series "Glimpses", looking at the story of the Bible in 30 days, from the time of creation through to the time of the fullness of redemption! The long awaited for king is here - the one the covenants from long ago had promised! Jesus' public ministry on earth has begun! From what we have glimpsed so far, what do you think Jesus' mission is? Before we go on to see what it is, pause for a moment to think through what you think that mission may well be. Luke 4v14-20 Then Jesus returned to Galilee, filled with the Holy Spirit's power. Reports about him spread quickly through the whole region. He taught regularly in their synagogues and was praised by everyone. When he came to the village of Nazareth, his boyhood home, he went as usual to the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read the Scriptures. The scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where this was written: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord's favour has come." He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. All eyes in the synagogue looked at him intently. Then he began to speak to them. "The Scripture you've just heard has been fulfilled this very day!" Do you have a clue now what Jesus' mission is? A reluctant John the Baptist baptized him and the crowds heard God the Father speaking to Him and the Holy Spirit descend upon Him. Now Jesus, led by the Holy Spirit, has returned home to Galilee (Luke 4v14). Jesus at home (Luke 4v14-30) Jesus is back in home territory and because of the power of his teaching, He is becoming known as a great teacher (Luke 4v15). Jesus spent some time in Galilee, became known and aroused the interest, curiosity and excitement of people. It was Jesus' habit to attend public worship wherever he was. Because of his growing renown as a teacher, it is no surprise that he should be asked to read the Scripture and give a short teaching session regarding it. Here in Nazareth, Jesus declared that the day for demonstrating God's salvation had arrived and the day the prophets and Covenants had looked forward to! This was going to be fulfilled in Jesus Himself (Luke 4v20). He was the Servant that Isaiah had talked about long ago (Isaiah 61v1-2). His ministry was divinely directed: a ministry of hope for all people and a ministry to free the spiritually oppressed. The local reaction was at first one of astonishment (Luke 4v22) and telling each other he was the son of Joseph! But Jesus was more than that as he goes on to explain! Rejected (Luke 4:20-30) The people there saw Him only as the son of Joseph. Admiration soon turned to anger though, because Jesus began to remind them of God's goodness to the Gentiles. Israel had a fear and hatred of those who were not Jewish, the Gentiles, and remember that Israel was under Roman control - under the power of the Gentiles! Whilst those in Nazareth could only see Jesus in the local setting, He told them his mission was for all Israel! And if Israel rejected this message of Jesus, then the Gentiles would be blessed by it (Luke 4v25-27). Upon hearing this, the astonished admiration turned to furious anger! Listen to their reaction from Luke 4v28-30 "when they heard this, the people in the synagogue were furious. Jumping up, they mobbed him and forced him to the edge of the hill on which the town was built. They intended to push him over the cliff, but he passed right through the crowd and went on his way." See how divisive Jesus was! Jesus away from home (Luke 4v31-44) Now Jesus walked straight through the rioting mob and went to Capernaum and here he engaged in yet more public ministry: Preaching (Luke 4v31-32) - Jesus sets up headquarters in Capernaum (Matthew 4:13-16) and started teaching in the Synagogue. Again, people were astonished that he taught with such authority. Rebuking (Luke 4v33-37, 41) - Jesus rebuked the demons did not want the demons to bear witness to Himself and his identity (Luke 4:34,41). Again people were astonished at Jesus power and authority. Healing (Luke 4v:39-40) - People bought their sick and asked Jesus to help and heal them. Praying (Luke 4v42-44) - He was up early the next morning to pray (Mark 1:35). It was in prayer that He found his strength and power for service. During this period Jesus has God's authority to do what He is doing - preaching, healing and releasing. God desires humility and Jesus looked for people to acknowledge their spiritual blindness and poverty, so that he may liberate them from such things. Jesus taught and preached in the synagogues (Luke 4v32, 44); rebuked demons (Luke 4v35, 41), and healed diseases (Luke 4v39): all with the authority of just his word. Jesus' mission was to be the saviour of the world as God's Son (John 3v16) and the Servant of the Lord, for Jesus came not be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many (Mark 10v45). How he fulfilled this role, we will come to see. Tomorrow we start honing in on what Jesus taught about Himself - things that were divisive in his day and are still divisive today almost 2000 years later! Thank you!

Birth of a King G'day and welcome to Partake! We are now on day 11 of our series "Glimpses", looking at the story of the Bible in 30 days, from the time of creation through to the time of the fullness of redemption! We looked together at the Covenants in the Old Testament as a set of stairs from Creation through to what we call the New Covenant. Now, we have started looking at the documents which record the life of Jesus Christ, who as Christians, claim to fulfil those Covenants we talked about. His birth is the most celebrated around the world and He transcends cultures, peoples and languages. Jesus Christ is the most unique person in all of recorded history. He is also the most divisive person to be found at any time and anywhere. Almost everyone has an opinion about him, even if that opinion is based on ignorance, silence or misinformation. Climbing the staircase! Like climbing a staircase, step by step, we looked at together through the Covenants and we caught glimpses of God sending a saviour or messiah for the world. We discovered that God was planning the time when He would step into history as this saviour person, who we believe to be the man, Jesus Christ. We looked at the Covenants that God made with people, which all looked forward to this saviour, messiah and king. These covenants were to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and David. This King was to be their hope - their saviour. Jesus' genealogy as recorded in the Gospels takes his physical line back to Abraham via David. Abraham as we saw was the father of Israel and David the King with a promise from God to have a king on the throne forever. Jesus grew into maturity as any young Jewish boy did. Life Events You can read about the events leading up to the birth of Jesus Christ in the following passages from the Bible: Matthew 1:1-17; Luke 1:26-38; Luke 2:1-18; John 1v1-18 Documented in history and affirmed by most secular and non-Christian sources. Here are the events surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ and his early childhood from the Gospel record: His Pre-existence - John 1:1-5 His Genealogy - Matthew 1:1-17, Luke 3:23-38 Angel Gabriel visits Mary - Luke 1:26-38 Angel appears to Joseph in a dream - Matthew 1:18-25 His Birth in Bethlehem - Matthew 1:25, Luke 2:1-7 Shepherds visit him at the manger - Luke 2:8-20 His circumcision and presentation in the Temple according to the Covenant Law of Moses - - Luke 2:21-38 Wise men present gifts in house - Matthew 2:1-12 Joseph's family including Jesus escape to Egypt with Jesus - Matthew 2:13-15 Herod's wrath on Bethlehem's children - Matthew 2:16-18 Herod dies in Spring of 4 BC - Matthew 2:19 Joseph's family including Jesus settles in Nazareth - Luke 2:39 Events in his childhood - Luke 2:40-52 Luke 2v1-7, 21-24. Please do make a note of the names of history recorded by Luke to date the birth of the man, Jesus: Now it happened in those days, that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David; to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant. It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth. She brought forth her firstborn son, and she wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn. When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord"), and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, "A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons." Birth of Jesus Christ That Jesus was a human male is not really disputed. However, the birth of Jesus Christ is extraordinary at every level. He was born of a woman, which in itself tells us that at least in a prenatal state, he was nurtured and formed as any other male baby was and is. On the physical level, Jesus was born as any person is, but as regards his conception, He was conceived like no other person - conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1v35). This was so that Jesus would not be given the sinful nature past that all humans have. Jesus was fully human and fully divine. Other documents, outside of the Bible from that time period also attest to Jesus and his existence. What's in a name? When Jesus was born, his name imbued the very reason he was born. His conception and birth were extraordinary at every level. So important is our understanding of the birth of Jesus that no fewer than 4 angels come to give us a full picture of the event. Do you think that his parents, Joseph & Mary ever gazed upon him, and thought "How misnamed he is!" They did not, because they knew the very purpose for which he was born. Did Jesus ever think of how misnamed he was? Certainly not! His name means one who saves, or a rescuer. The entirety of his birth, life and death were centred on this very role. His role was to save all those who would follow Him. Further up the staircase! As we look through the remainder of this series we will discover together how and why He was born to be this messiah, saviour and king we caught glimpses of in the Old Testament. We will see that Jesus confirms God's promises, that he reveals God as a Father and that he gave us an example of how to live life to the full. We shall also see how his life was the catalyst for a religious revolution. He was not merely a man who received some special power. He was not some strange creation that was half man and half God, with his human nature somehow absorbed into the divine. He was, as we shall see in this series, much more than those ideas! In our next study we will look at Jesus' Mission and Identity. Thank you! Right mouse click or tap here here to download as a MP3 audio file

The Prophet Joseph often refers to God's all-encompassing power as the priesthood. This overarching definition acts like an umbrella that covers all of God's works—from the Creation to the Gifts of the Spirit. In Doctrine and Covenants sections 84 and 107, we especially see the priesthood used in the work of organizing the church and male ordinations. Yet, in D&C 84, we also see both the expansive definition of the priesthood power and the specific definition of priesthood keys and offices used. In the Book of Mormon alone, we find over 464 attributes and references to priesthood power; the Doctrine and Covenants has over 833 similar references Join Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson and guest Janiece Johnson as they discuss the Oath and the Covenant of the Priesthood and how it is so much more than we realize as members of the Church.

God intends for the church to be a display of his glory, which means the church's holiness, or lack thereof, has a massive effect on its witness. It's no wonder, then, that Scripture commands church discipline. In this message from Matthew 18:15–20 and 1 Corinthians 5:1–13, David Platt urges the church to take seriously its responsibility to address sin in the congregation. As we hold one another accountable, we are aiming for the purity of the church and the eternal good of one another. Explore more content from Radical.

This is a new episode that I recorded quickly this morning before work.  It briefly covers Doctrine and Covenants 76.   Shine on!

What if everything you thought you knew about heaven, salvation, and Christ's power was just the beginning? Get ready to have your understanding expanded. Summary: In this deep dive into Doctrine & Covenants 76, "The Vision," we explore an expansive understanding of Jesus Christ and His infinite reach. Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon experienced visions that revealed Christ's ability to do "exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think," showing His wisdom, marvelous ways, and the unimaginable extent of His work of salvation. We begin by examining how we often underestimate the Savior, discovering that "beside him there is no Savior," yet His mercy and grace extend to bring everyone home except the sons of perdition. The video then unpacks the concept of "The Cosmic Christ," where Joseph and Sidney beheld the glory of the Son, witnessing that by Him, "the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God." Next, we confront the sobering reality of "Perdition and His Sons," understanding the profound loss associated with Lucifer and the specific conditions that lead to becoming a son of perdition. This segment surprisingly reveals God's near-universal plan of salvation, emphasizing that "all the rest shall be brought forth by the resurrection of the dead." Finally, we journey through the three degrees of glory—Celestial, Terrestrial, and Telestial—receiving a breathtaking glimpse into what "heaven" truly looks like, even surpassing all understanding for the Telestial Kingdom. We'll also touch on the profound spiritual experiences that cannot be written but must be "seen and understood by the power of the Holy Spirit." Prepare to enlarge your vision of God's love, justice, and the boundless power of Christ to redeem. 0:00 Introduction and Overview 6:10 Never Underestimate Christ 16:50 The Cosmic Christ 36:28 Perdition and His Sons 52:19 Celestial Glory 1:05:23 Terrestrial Glory 1:13:13 Telestial Glory 1:29:34 What We Can and Cannot Write 1:42:34 One-Liners
