He will speak to the people to pass the throne to his son also named Mosiah. Of course, he will give a long sermon to the people that sounds like something from a revivalist in the 1800's; except that hindsight prophecies about Jesus will be in there.Further research:Book of Mormon in videoJoseph Smith: The Prophet of the RestorationThe Book of Mormon online: Mosiah [chapters 1, 2, 3]*** Please contribute to the Hurricane relief fund for A.M.

September 23-29 How can you not be just thrilled with this week's readings?  The entire Book of Mormon has been centered on one Person—Jesus Christ, the Savior and Redeemer—and His coming to the earth and the promised visit to this righteous branch of the tribe of Joseph in the Americas.  Lehi testified He would come. Nephi saw in vision that He would come. Jacob gave bold witness of His mission and His coming. King Benjamin, Alma the Elder, Alma the Younger, Ammon, Aaron, Omner, Himni, Helaman—and many more—they all testified that HE, the Lord Jesus Christ, would come—and in this week's exciting readings—HE CAME!

Ancient and latter-day prophets have often testified of the importance of gospel-centered parenting. King Benjamin once taught, “But ye will teach them to walk in the ways of truth and soberness; ye will teach them to love one another, and to serve one another” (Mosiah 4:15). President Russell M. Nelson has exclaimed, “No other work transcends that of righteous, intentional parenting!” In this episode Dr. Mark D. Ogletree, professor of Church history and doctrine, discusses a critical branch in gospel-centered parenting: intentional fatherhood. Professor Ogletree outlines the characteristics and attributes of intentional fatherhood—principles that apply to all parents and mentors—by examining Alma's counsel with Helaman, Shiblon, and Corianton. Alma exemplifies a pattern of intentional behaviors as he testifies of the Savior and the truthfulness of the gospel, teaches his sons their ancestry, sets a righteous example and leaves the past behind him, offers individual counsel and praise to each son, calls his children to repentance, and teaches them true doctrine. Modern parents will be inspired on how to teach, direct, and interact with their children as they study the teachings of Alma 36–42.    Publications:  “Alma as an Intentional Father” (in Give Ear to My Words: Text and Context of Alma 36-42, Religious Studies Center, 2019)  Beyond the Honeymoon: 25 Questions and Answers About Marital Intimacy (Ogletree, Pistorius, & Brinley, Covenant Communications, 2024)  Heaven Is Cheering You On: Spiritual Survival in the Last Days (Cedar Fort, 2024)  The Making of a Man: A Guide to Raising Strong, Resilient Sons (2023)  Babysitters are Cheaper than Divorces: And Other Lessons I Hope I Have Passed Down to My Children (2022)  So You're In Love, Now What? 20 Q&A to Help You Make the Marriage Decision (Deseret Book, 2022)  No Other Success: The Parenting Practices of David O.

Mosiah 26 starts out by explaining that the rising generation didn't have the same conversion as their parents because they were just little during the time of King Benjamin. It made me think, we can't count on our kids being converted because we are, we have to help them have opportunities to have the gospel sink deep in their hearts.

This is a reading of Mosiah Chapter 26. Many members of the church of the rising generation that could not understand King Benjamin because they were children at the time, are led away.

He'll echo the core messages of King Benjamin - about the Savior's life and redemptive role - but he will teach in a vastly different setting to a group who refuses to hear. His true words and poised testimony will prick the heart of Alma who will carry his message to others and create an epic pivot point in the Book of Mormon.Questions to Consider:MOSIAH 12:20-24 (PRIESTS QUESTION) & 15:14-18 (ABINADI'S ANSWER) | When have you seen “beautiful feet upon the mountains” like theirs? How did they publish peace or bring good tidings?MOSIAH 15:23 | How does it change your perspective to think of being “raised”? How does this relate to overcoming the “Fall”?MOSIAH 17:13-19 | Why does a loving God ever “execute vengeance”? Why is this a fitting warning for this group?

Abinadi is a pivot point in the story of the Book of Mormon.  Much of the remaining text in the Book of Mormon are people impacted by Abinadi's ministry. How is Abinadi's sermon related to King Benjamin's? What are Abinadi's key messages? How is Jesus our “father,” and we are to be his “seed”? In this episode, BYU professors Jared Ludlow, Nick Frederick, Jan Martin, and Joshua Sears explore these questions in an inspiring scripture conversation.

Today we learn from King Benjamin how we can better come to know the Lord.

His people will be so moved by the Spirit that they will fall to the ground in reverence and then rise with new hearts and dispositions. Benjamin will encourage their desires to make covenants and unite as the Children of Christ. In his final act as a mighty King, he'll consecrate his son, Mosiah, to rule and reign in righteousness.Questions to Consider:Mosiah 4:24-25 | How does this principle apply in other ways beyond financial? How do we “have not and yet have sufficient”?Mosiah 5:8 | How does a covenantal bond add depth and relationship to the commandments? Do you see other commandments differently because of the covenants you've made?Mosiah 6:3 | Do you see similarities between Benjamin's consecration of his son Mosiah and the consecration of other sons in scripture?

April 29-May 5 Over our years of studies of the first 6 chapters of Mosiah we have all come to love King Benjamin and his marvelous teachings.  We have the whole thing in our minds, don't we? The aged King Benjamin; the anointing of his son Mosiah to be the new king; the innumerable hosts of tents surrounding the temple and families in breathless attention to their servant King.  We have the setting down pat, but what about the setting in our hearts—if King Benjamin were to send a text message to all of us, desiring to know if WE believed the words which he has spoken to US, what would be our answer? And what would be our proof?

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.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [MOSIAH 1-3] Insights“Filled with Love towards God and All Men”April 22 - April 28WEEK 17: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:This week, we'll cover the first three chapters of Mosiah and the first half of King Benjamin's sermon. His words to his sons and people are centered on service and offer us a powerful glimpse of true leadership. His recounting of the angel's words will help us recognize the character of the Savior.Questions to Consider:1. Mosiah 2:5-6 | Mosiah asked that the people gather in families, each in their own tent. Question: How does this approach mimic home-centered, church-supported learning? Why would this bless Benjamin's people? How does it bless us?2. Mosiah 2:36-37 | Benjamin warns that he's teaching them truth and they'll be held accountable for the knowledge they receive. He warns not to “withdraw themselves from the Spirit.” Question: Often we talk about the Spirit withdrawing from us. How do we withdraw from it? What does it mean to give the spirit “no place in us”?3. Mosiah 3:5 | The angel says Christ will come in a tabernacle of clay. Question: How does the word tabernacle/tent help you understand this second estate of mortality? Why clay? How does that word add to our understanding?CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:06:15 SPARK 1: HOW TO LEAVE A LEGACY00:14:05 SPARK 2: COURAGE TO CLIMB00:22:34 SPARK 3: HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING00:3036: QUESTIONS00:33:56 WRAP UPFollow Maria on:Creative Come Follow Me digital courseMeckMom.comInstagram @meckmomlifeYouTube CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER: This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

April 22-28 Elder Neal A. Maxwell called the chapters we are studying today the “Manual of Discipleship”. Since Mormon could include only the hundredth part of the records he had available to him, this may be the reason he zeroed right in on King Benjamin's address and gave us so much of it. He knew we in the latter days would want to learn discipleship too.

Yesterday, on Maundy Thursday, King Charles gave an address very similar to King Benjamin in the Book of Mormon. This is not a coincidence. Kings and Queens have always had a contract/covenant with the people to act as representatives of God and to have the people follow suit. King Charles refers to Jesus washing the feet of the disciples, while King Benjamin is likely referring to a tradition of temple drama and coronation.   Website - www.cwicmedia.com
