In "Joseph Smith—History" 1:27–65, Joseph Smith details his experiences from receiving the First Vision, his persecutions, youthful mistakes, and the visitations of the angel Moroni, who instructs him about the Book of Mormon plates. Moroni repeatedly visits Joseph, explaining the importance of the plates and the role Joseph is to play. Joseph faces persecution and challenges as he prepares to fulfill his divine calling and eventually gains possession of the plates, beginning the translation process with the help of others like Martin Harris, who confirms the authenticity of the characters with scholars. The narrative highlights Joseph's faith, trials, and the miraculous support he receives in his prophetic mission.

Do you think it was significant that she was with him when he finally received the plates? - If God had promised to protect the plates, why was it necessary for Joseph to use so many different hiding techniques? Do you think that experience was a teaching tool of some kind? What might he have gained from it? What might Emma have gained?SPARK 3: PLANTED PROMISES=============================OBJECT LESSON: “The Hearts of the Children Shall Turn”: Spirit of Elijah SpinnersEtsy Printable Link: [LINK HERE]QUESTIONS: - When have you felt your heart turn towards your “fathers” or “children” significantly?

What is significant about his life or teachings that makes him particularly effective in this role? - In 2021, Elder Bednar connected these teachings about Elijah to Savior's invitation to “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Confused about which church to join, 14-year-old Joseph was inspired by James 1:5 and prayed for guidance. In the spring of 1820, he experienced a vision where Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared to him in a grove of trees. They instructed him not to join any of the existing churches. Despite facing ridicule and persecution for sharing his vision, Joseph remained firm in his conviction, knowing he had received divine guidance.SPARK 1: THEY KNEW IT NOT================OBJECT LESSON: “I Reflected on It Again and Again”: Fruits of the Spirit SticksQUESTIONS: Joseph writes this record to combat the “evil-disposed and designing persons” who are attacking the Church.

He's a teenage boy, wouldn't some church be better than none? Why not?Joseph compares himself to Paul, who also saw a light and heard a voice. Do you think Paul's death also struck a chord with Joseph? Could that be why he says so little to his mother that day about his experience?SPARK 3: CANCER OF CONTENTION=======================OBJECT LESSON: “They Draw Near unto Me with Their Lips”: Hypocrisy Marshmallow ShootersQUESTIONS: In verse 14, Joseph talks about having “anxieties” and stepping into unknown territory.

What solutions do you see in his strategies?When have you seen the cancer of contention grow firsthand? Are there things that fuel its growth? Have you seen it be cured?

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [ETHER 12-15] Insights“By Faith All Things Are Fulfilled”November 25 – December 1, 2024LINK TO THE CREATIVE VIDEO FOR ETHER 12-15https://youtu.be/PNQhTwo6djUWEEK 48: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:Ether 12-15 details a period of intense conflict and prophecy in the Jaredite civilization. Ether, the prophet, emphasizes the importance of faith, illustrating how it precedes miracles and is crucial for spiritual strength, referencing past prophets like Alma and Moroni. Despite Ether's warnings, the people embrace wickedness, leading to widespread wars. Coriantumr, a pivotal king, sees prophetic visions of his people's annihilation if they do not repent. As battles intensify, with leaders like Shared and Shiz rising against him, Coriantumr grapples with relentless warfare and personal injuries. Ultimately, Ether's prophecies come to pass as the Jaredite civilization collapses due to internal turmoil, leaving Coriantumr as the last survivor, fulfilling God's word that another group—the Nephites—would inhabit the land. These chapters highlight the consequences of pride and the power of faith.Ether 12:12 | How do you define a miracle? How do we balance seeking and expecting miracles, as President Nelson invited us to do, and patiently allowing the Lord's will to be done?Ether 13:1-14 | Why does Ether bother telling them “all things” if they are so wicked? Why not just write them down for future generations who will appreciate them? Is there power in prophesying even if no one heeds your words? Ether 13:1,31, 14:12 | Why is this the consequence God chooses for Coriantumr? Is this a fitting end for someone who caused so much destruction or is God in relentless pursuit of him?CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:02:26 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:09:25 SPARK 1: PARTING THE LAYERED VEIL00:19:58 SPARK 2: HOW WEAK THINGS BECOME STRONG00:30:47 SPARK 3: ETHER'S ARK OF 100:42:14 QUESTIONS00:46:08 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.

Upon reaching the promised land, they establish a society under the leadership of various kings. However, the narrative quickly shifts to a cycle of prosperity, wickedness, and upheaval as they struggle with power, pride, and internal conflicts. The text highlights moral lessons on the consequences of rejecting the Lord's guidance and the recurring theme of repentance and redemption. Despite times of righteousness, the Jaredites often fall back into chaos, foreshadowing future trials for their civilization.Ether 6:12 | What are tender mercies to you? When have you seen them? How did you recognize them? Did your mortal mind try to reconcile them? How did you get past those feelings and find divinity in them?Ether 8:7-10 | How does Satan use good motives to do tempt us to do sinful things? How do we guard against this? How do the two great commandments help you know how to channel your emotions for good?Ether 11:12-13 | Do you think this happens today?

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [3 NEPHI 27-4 NEPHI] Insights“There Could Not Be a Happier People”October 21 - October 27, 2024WEEK 43: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:This is a week woven with warnings and promises. President Nelson just taught, “Now is the time for us to make our discipleship our highest priority.” This week's chapters will help you understand how to accomplish that powerful invitation. In His final sermon to the Nephites, the Savior emphasizes the need for unity within His church. He directs the name of the church as well as His clear, simple, redeeming doctrine. He'll help us understand the value of giving all we have to His work and the promise of hope to all who come unto Him. His message leaves the people hungering and thirsting after righteousness for 3 generations. Sadly, the unity begins to unravel when pride creeps back in among the people and false teachings lure hearts away from the truth. 3 Nephi 27:25-26 | How does it comfort you to know the Father is the recorder for your life? How would that knowledge impact your prayers? How does D&C 137:9 help you understand this verse?3 Nephi 28:1-10 | If this asking to tarry on the earth was such a good choice for the 3 Nephites, why don't we have more people choosing it in scriptural history?

October 15, 1988 - With two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Kirk Gibson hits a pinch-hit home run off Dennis Eckersley to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 5 - 4 victory over the Oakland Athletics in Game One of the World Series. Gibson, who injured himself making a game saving catch in the National League Championship Series, never came out for game one introductions and never took batting practice spending the entire game on the trainer's table receiving treatment with Dodgers Manager Tommy Lasorda checking on him between innings. Inning after inning, Lasorda checked and was given the thumbs down each time until the bottom of the ninth with the A's leading 4-3 when the clubhouse boy told Lasorda that Gibson wanted to speak to him. ”I think I can hit for you, Skipper” was the message Lasorda heard when he arrived in the trainer's room. Eckersley got the first 2 batters out. Alfredo Griffin was next up when Lasorda sent Mike Davis to the plate instead, with Gibson warming up unbeknownst to anyone. As Eck settled in to pitch, Lasorda sent Dave Anderson to the on deck circle.Eckersley took notice and decided he wasn't going to let Davis hit it out of the ballpark. He worked the count to 3-2 and walked Davis. “Now get out there Big Boy” Lasorda ordered Gibson, whose appearance sent the crowd into a frenzy. Lasorda decided Gibson had two swings to try and hit it out of the park and then he gave Davis the green light to steal 2nd. With 1st base open, the A's chose not to walk Gibson who worked the count to 3-2 andGibson launched the next pitch out of the park. Vin Scully's call of the play say's it all “"In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened!"October 15, 1970 - For the third time, the Baltimore Orioles overcome a 3 - 0 deficit to bury the Cincinnati Reds, 9 - 3, and win the World Series in five games. Brooks Robinson won the World Series Most Valuable Player Award hitting .429 and breaking the record for total bases with seventeen. Robinsons stellar fielding earned him the nickname “Hoover”.

Why is this a fitting title? Does 2 Nephi 27:3 add any additional understanding?

First, he'll respond to the earnest, unspoken pleas of the people by healing their wounds and blessing their families. Next, He'll show His love for the people by giving the divine mandate to remember Him through the sacrament ordinance.

This study is compelling after hearing our own apostles witness of the Savior over conference weekend.3 Nephi 17:1 | Alma 40:8 says time only is measured unto men. Why is God bound by it?

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [3 NEPHI 1-7] Insights“Lift Up Your Head and Be of Good Cheer”September 16 - September 22WEEK 38: SUMMARY===========Insights Summary:The years leading up to the Savior's arrival among the Nephites are tumultuous. There are external struggles between the Gadianton Robbers and internal struggles with the demons of doubt and discouragement. There are also bright moments of faith when believers choose to “hope against hope” as Paul would say. This week you'll study their experiences and watch the Lord fulfill His promise. It's a fantastic week of study.Questions to Consider:3 Nephi 1:9 | The believers in prophecy are threatened with death. It's like Esther's story in the Old Testament. They are not forming an uprising. They don't want power. They are not a threat. Question: What causes this kind of extreme reaction? What problem are the dissenters trying to solve? Do you see this fear-based violence against the light in our day?3 Nephi 3:2 | Giddianhi, the Gadianton leader, demands that Lachoneus and the Nephites surrender themselves and their lands. He tries many techniques to convince Lachoneus to surrender. Question: Do you see similarities between this letter and the temptations Satan tried to offer the Savior? Are there similarities with Moses 1? What tools/knowledge does Lachoneus use to see through the trap?3 Nephi 7:26 | After seeing the miracles of Nephi, many believe. They choose to repent and are baptized by authorized priesthood holders.25 Therefore, there were ordained of Nephi, men unto this ministry, that all such as should come unto them should be baptized with water, and this as a witness and a testimony before God, and unto the people, that they had repented and received a remission of their sins.26 And there were many in the commencement of this year that were baptized unto repentance;Question: How is repentance a pre-requisite for baptism and something you're baptized unto? Are these different types of repentance (like the different types of hope we discussed)? What does it mean to be baptized “unto” repentance?CHAPTERS:=========00:00:00 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:02:40 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:09:36 SPARK 1: DIVINE HARMONY00:22:06 SPARK 2: THE GIFTED CURSE00:30:13 SPARK 3: CHASING EQUILIBRIUM00:37:17 QUESTIONS00:41:52 WRAP UPLINKS=====ETSY Printables: https://meckmom.etsy.comWEB: 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.

He's an outsider - the only Lamanite prophet on record. His mission to the Nephites focuses on repentance and finding hope in the coming of Christ. His words will soften the hearts of a few and ignite violence in the hearts of others. As a Lamanite, he is a living witness of the power of repentance. His words are powerful, prophetic, and profoundly applicable for our day. Questions to Consider:Helaman 13:13-14 | Question: Where have you see this in your life? When have you seen the righteousness of one or a few provide protection for many?Helaman 15:8 | What “thing” is Samuel referring to in this verse? What kind of freedom is this? Freedom from what exactly?Helaman 16:1 | What did each man bring to the table? Why were both needed? Why didn't Samuel do the baptizing? Why didn't Nephi get on the wall?

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [HELAMAN 7-12] Insights“Remember the Lord”September 2 – September 8 2024WEEK 36: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:This week, we see a prophet's role up close. We'll follow Nephi as he works diligently to reclaim Nephite hearts for the Lord. We'll hear him pray for his people from his garden tower and watch as those same people accuse him of conspiracy. Nephi will be weighed down with sorrow at times and lifted up by the Lord at others. His tenacity through it all will inspire you to study the words of our prophet and seek the wisdom God is eager to give you.1. Helaman 7:11Nephi has a desperate prayer to offer for the people. He doesn't go to a private place. He prays on a garden tower near the highway. Question: Do you think this was deliberately demonstrative? What did he think would happen? Is there a comparison between this experience and Daniel's prayer with his windows open (see Daniel 6:10)?Jack N Gerard, Apr 2024, Integrity: A Christlike attribute2. Helaman 11:23After a period of peace, contentions well up. Nephi and Lehi and otehrs are able to neutralize those contentions by teaching truth “having many revelations daily”Question: When have you felt this surge in your life? Do you see this playing out in the lives of prophets and apostles today? We tend to focus on conference. How does daily revelation trickle down into the church now?3. Helaman 12:5Mormon is warning about how prosperity tends to harden our hearts and make us forget God's goodness. He said “they do harden their hearts, and do forget the Lord their God, and do trample under their feet the Holy One—yea, and this because of their ease, and their exceedingly great prosperity.”Question: What does it mean to trample the Holy One under our feet? Does this have something to do with his posture as a Redeemer Or is this about our own dismissiveness Or could it be about our casualness in expecting and receiving His gift?CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:02:37 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:10:00 SPARK 1: HELAMAN & HANNAH00:18:40 SPARK 2: THE INVISIBLE BATTLE00:28:15 SPARK 3: THE RELUCTANT DISCO BALL00:31:45 QUESTIONS00:41:21 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.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [HELAMAN 1-6] Insights“The Rock of Our Redeemer”August 26 - September 1, 2024WEEK 35: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:The book of Helaman is a build-up to the coming of Jesus Christ in the Book of Mormon. Our master editor, Mormon, sets the stage by helping us understand the depths of the darkness brought on by the Coriantumr, Kishkumen, and the Gadianton Robbers. That dark backdrop will make the bright bursts of light we find in the stories of Moronihah, Helaman, Nephi, Lehi, Aminadab and others. The contrast will catch your heart and help you feel more equipped to conquer the darkness of our day.Questions to Consider:Helaman 3:30 | What do you think it means to sit with the holy fathers and “go no more out”? Helaman 5:8 | What do you think a heavenly treasure is? Is it relationships, a rate of progression, a certainty of some kind? What else could we possibly “lay-up” for ourselves?Helaman 6:36-38 | The Lamanites converted or removed the Gadianton Robbers from the lands but the Nephites “build them up and support them” until most “come down to believe in their works and partake of their spoils.” Do you see similar trends in our day? What does ripening for destruction look like in our day? Could teaching truth reverse that trend?CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:02:11 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:08:00 SPARK 1: HELAMAN & HANNAH00:18:16 SPARK 2: THE INVISIBLE BATTLE00:28:15 SPARK 3: THE RELUCTANT DISCO BALL00:39:13 QUESTIONS00:42:25 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.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [ALMA 53-63] Insights“Preserved by His Marvelous Power”August 19 – August 25 2024WEEK 34: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:The second half of the war chapters are focused on reclaiming what has been lost. The Lamanites have invaded fortified cities. It will take mighty efforts of men mixed with the Lord's deliverance to get them back again. God will keep his promises of deliverance to the Anti-Nephi-Lehies and protect their 2000 sons. He'll endow them with power and capacity to change the course of Nephtite history and regain what was lost. Questions to Consider:Alma 53:2 | Do you think God prepared people like Lehi, Moroni, Helaman, Teancum, Antipus, etc. for this particular moment? Or do you think this particular moment makes these men? Have you felt a premortal connection in your callings or responsibilities? Alma 55 | What does this story teach us about God's approach to those who have been victimized? How does Elder Kearon's talk from Apr 2022 add to this idea? Do you see his invitation to go from “Victim to Survivor to Conqueror” in this story?Alma 54:20 | Where do you see this in our day? Are there those who claim power to do, seal, or stop things things that are entirely beyond their mortal capabilities?CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:03:18 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:08:31 SPARK 1: INVISIBLE ARMOR OF LIGHT00:24:50 SPARK 2: PLANTED PROMISES00:36:41 SPARK 3: POWER BY DEGREES00:47:45 QUESTIONS00:53:43 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.
