What King Will You Follow? by Autumn Dickson At the beginning of chapter 8, we find Samuel getting older. He made his sons judges, and they were corrupt. The people went to Samuel and asked for a king. Samuel didn't like that much, and he turned to the Lord. Here is the Lord's response. 1 Samuel 8:7 And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. The people wanted a monarchy instead of a theocracy. They wanted to be like other nations despite the warnings that Samuel gave them. He warned them of all the problems that come with a king, but they insisted. We're not in the same situation as the Israelites. None of us are asking President Oaks to give us a king, but there are still lessons for us here. Let's look at some details. Israel wanted a king; they wanted someone who would rule over them. The irony here is that if you had asked Samuel whether the Israelites had a king, he would have answered, “Yes.” The Lord was meant to be their king. The Lord had a mouthpiece, a messenger for how He wanted His kingdom ruled, but He was meant to rule over His own people. So when the Lord says that the Israelites rejected Him, He is accurate. They had a king, but they wanted a different kind of king. There are a lot of parallels we could find in our own lives. Rather than explicitly stating the parallel, I rather just give one potential manifestation of this parallel. The Lord has come before each of us and promised to bless us. He wants to make us kings and queens, priests and priestesses. He wants to make us like Him. He wants to shower us with warmth and promises. He wants to open our eyes and show us everything. There is so much to be had as heirs of God. All of that sounds pretty wonderful. Unfortunately, these things don't just get bestowed upon us. We have to grow into it. So when we are faced with the decision of opening our scripture app or social media, we often find ourselves on social media. The Lord comes and says, “Let me be your king. I won't ever betray you. I won't take from you; I only want to give. I want to show you all that you can become.” The Lord comes and warns us, “Taking a different king can be dangerous. The king will take your children, and it will take the best parts of what you have. It only serves itself; you will be its servant.” And yet, like the Israelites, we insist on choosing social media. We choose a different king. We choose a king that robs us of moments with our loved ones. We choose a king that does have the power to take our children away from us. We choose a king that is only looking to profit itself, and we make ourselves slaves to it. Why?? Why do we do this?? And it's interesting. The Lord doesn't mind if we have a mortal king. In Mosiah 29, Mosiah tells his people that it would be fine to have a king if they could guarantee that their kings were righteous. The Lord doesn't mind if we have social media, TV, video games, or any other of these other banal activities. The Lord can utilize these tools to enhance our life and make it better. The problem comes when we essentially reject the Lord for something pathetic. If you had asked the Israelites if they were rejecting their God, I wonder what they would have said. Maybe they would have told us, “We're not rejecting our God. We will still follow our God. We just want a king too. Having a king doesn't mean that we don't worship God.” If you ask us if we're rejecting God when we pull open something vapid instead of something inspiring, we would probably answer that we're not rejecting God. Perhaps that's true. Perhaps you're not outright rejecting God. But have you ever tried to connect with someone who was too busy on their phone? Have you ever gone to someone for help only for them to be too distracted to love you? Have you ever done this to someone else? Perhaps you're not turning to that person who is seeking a connection with you and saying, “Stop. I don't like you. Go away. I hate you.” But aren't you still rejecting them? Don't you feel rejected when it happens to you? So we can tell ourselves all we like that opening instagram instead of the scriptures isn't rejecting God, but isn't it? He's trying to connect with us. He's trying to draw us higher, and we turn away. That is rejection too. I'm not describing a world where we become monks that don't take part in any other type of material. Social media isn't evil. I just think it's wise to take inventory of who is ruling us. Our phones often do this cool thing where it keeps track of where we're spending our time. Look at your phone. Where did you spend your time today? And as a sidenote, this isn't a message about social media. I'm sharing an example that shows an overarching principle. What is ruling us? Is it God? As I was reading about the Israelites choosing a king, I thought of all the pain that was coming to them. I thought of everything we would read about Israel and the trials that were coming. If they could have seen what was coming, would they have chosen differently? If we could see what our kings would bring us, would we choose differently? The Lord has warned us about how to spend our time. He has warned us about what to invite in and what to leave be. Who is your king? What is your king taking from you or giving to you? I testify that there are many good things to enjoy in life, but only one King who is willing to give rather than take. I testify that the Lord knows what He is talking about in how He directs our lives. I testify that you don't have to verbally reject the Lord to be cutting Him out of your life, and that being careful of what we choose will bless us in the long run. It may seem easier to choose something else, but it's not. Autumn Dickson was born and raised in a small town in Texas. She served a mission in the Indianapolis Indiana mission.

→ Watch on YouTube → Detailed Show Notes → Timestamps: (00:00) There is evidence that the Five Books of Moses and specifically the Book of Deuteronomy were edited both before and during the Babylonian captivity, around 600 B.C.(03:14) Many scholars see Deuteronomy as the “Book of the Law” that was discovered during Josiah's reign from 640-609 B.C.(06:15) Examples of additions and redactions which demonstrate the history of the text.(12:54) The Book of Mormon and the New Testament bring balance to the religious reforms during Josiah's reign.(15:35) The Deuteronomistic History is a term used in modern biblical studies to describe the books of Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, 1-2 Samuel and 1-2 Kings. The Deuteronomistic History portrays a cohesive view of Israel.(18:46) Lehi and Nephi were at odds with the Jews at the time they left Jerusalem in 600 B.C. Examples from the Book of Mormon show how prophets disagreed with some of Deuteronomy's ideas.(23:26) Deuteronomy centralizes worship and prohibits any altars outside of the temple. Visionaries were denigrated, yet Nephi knew the mysteries.(25:42) Deuteronomy focuses on the Abrahamic Covenant and stresses that Israel is to remember the Lord.(32:39) Deuteronomy has covenant renewal ceremonies and is constructed in the pattern of an ancient Near Eastern vassal treaty. This pattern is also used in King Benjamin's speech in Mosiah 1-6.(38:22) The scattering and gathering is prophesied in both Deuteronomy and the Book of Mormon. God wants to bring Israel back home.(46:12) Deuteronomy 31.6 shows a direct connection to the Book of Joshua. Blessings for keeping the commandments can be seen as a generational promise, not necessarily a 1:1 relationship. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not a “cosmic vending machine.”(48:53) Both Deuteronomy and the Book of Mormon are writing with the future in mind, knowing that their discovery will bring religious reform.(51:14) Both books warn of the pride and destruction that can come with prosperity.(55:28) Moses “dies,” and the text of Deuteronomy says his sepulcher is not known. The Book of Mormon teaches that Moses was translated. Josephus' history says he disappeared in a cloud. The New Testament shows Moses appears at the Mount of Transfiguration.(1:02:01) As a resurrected being, in April 1836, Moses came to Joseph Smith to give him the keys of the gathering of Israel. In this way, we are all connected to Moses and his mission. As modern day Israel, we carry the torch of Gospel light and are commanded to spread the Gospel. → For more of Bryce Dunford’s podcast classes, click here. → Enroll in Institute → YouTube → Apple Podcasts → Spotify → Amazon Music → Facebook The post Ep 371 | Deuteronomy, Come Follow Me 2026 (May 11-17) appeared first on LDS Scripture Teachings.
Where can we plainly see Faith in practice? Luke 17:5-6 -the parable of the mustard seed, 7-10- the master of the household and his slave and verses 11-19- the story of the 10 Lepers illustrate what faith is and what it isn't. Receiving, understanding, acting on personal revelation and becoming the sons and daughters of Jesus Christ is the object of our faith. Humility is the ounce of prevention from faith becoming self exalting. Obedience is the path on which the blessing of sanctification is received. As we receive a blessing from God in gratitude we glorify him. Alma 32 gives the blueprint of the experiment of faith that we may partake of the fruit of spiritual rebirth. Faith precedes the miracle (Ether 12:12). When a person walks the path of obedience hearkening to the words of Christ they undergo a transformative process even a mighty change of heart (Mosiah 5). Or in other words, the endowment of charity from God to the individual as a result of their entering into and keeping covenant with Him is manifested (Moroni 7:25-26, Mosiah 13:1-9, Mosiah 17:12-20). Phil illustrates these principles of exercising faith from the accounts of the lives of Abraham, Enoch, and Moses (Book of Jasher 9, 1 Book of Enoch 81 & 84, 2 Enoch 33:1-8, 44:1-3 and 66:1-7). "I give unto you these sayings that you may understand and know how to worship, and know what you worship"…(receiving truth and light is what changes a man or woman)..."that you may come unto the Father in my name and in due time receive of his fulness" (D&C 93:19, 27-28).Come and learn the Doctrine of Christ.

Moses Parts The Red SeaApril 13–19: “Stand Still, and See the Salvation of the Lord”Exodus 14–18The Israelites were trapped. The Red Sea was on one side, and the army of Pharaoh was advancing on the other. Their escape from Egypt, it seemed, would be short lived. But God had a message for the Israelites that He wanted them to remember for generations: “Fear ye not. … The Lord shall fight for you” (Exodus 14:13–14).Since that time, when God's people have needed faith and courage, they have told this story. When Nephi wanted to inspire his brothers, he said, “Let us be strong like unto Moses; for he truly spake unto the waters of the Red Sea and they divided hither and thither, and our fathers came through, out of captivity, on dry ground” (1 Nephi 4:2). When King Limhi wanted his captive people to “lift up [their] heads, and rejoice,” he reminded them of this same story (Mosiah 7:19). So did Alma, when he wanted to testify to his son of God's power (see Alma 36:28). And when we feel trapped—when we need a little more faith to “see the salvation of the Lord”—we can remember how “the Lord saved Israel that day” (Exodus 14:13, 30).A Come Follow Me Podcast For Kids A Primary Podcast Welcome to Come Follow Me Kids!

In this episode of Conversations with Interpreter, John E. Cochran II and Joseph Cochran explore the societal and cultural changes that seem to have allowed the Lamanites to be receptive to the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Cochrans lay out their argument in an article entitled, “From Wilderness to Covenant Threshold: Land, Literacy, and Religious Readiness in the Book of Mormon,” published in Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship. In this episode, they observe that the descriptions of Lamanites in early parts of the Book of Mormon do not always coincide with what the sons of Mosiah find in their missionary journey. They argue that it is the language and culture brought by Amulon and the wicked priests actually helped prepare the Lamanites for the gospel of Jesus Christ, showing how God prepares people in ways that are sometimes different from what we expect. God wants all of his people to return to him and he is constantly finding ways to prepare people, including cultural and societal changes.

This episode anchors faith and hope firmly in revelation and correct action, teaching that faith is not a measurement of belief in God but action upon receiving revelation, and that hope is the alignment and submission of our will with God's will through belief and trust in Him. Phil explains that a man or woman with hope orients life, goals, desires, and the use of time toward Jesus Christ, His invitations, and His promises, and that the strength of faith is measured by what it accomplishes.Phil teaches that exceedingly strong faith is correct action that allows a man or woman to access the power of God to accomplish God's purposes, and that the exercise of faith or receiving and acting correctly on personal revelation, builds the faithful into wise wheat unto salvation while separating foolish tares for destruction (Ether 12:15,19; Alma 26:22). He outlines that belief in Jesus Christ is more than profession; it is entering into the new and everlasting covenant, offering the sacrifice of a broken heart and contrite spirit, receiving baptism of water, and having one's case plead by Christ before the Father to receive the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost (Alma 26:21–22).Using the ministry of Ammon and the sons of Mosiah, Phil walks us through the sacrifices, hardships, and mighty faith required before miracles come, from imprisonment and rejection to deliverance and conversion among the Lamanites (Alma 17–26). He explains how faith-filled action softened the hearts of kings, liberated prisoners, and led entire peoples to covenant with God, bury their weapons, and resist sin even unto death after receiving a remission of sins (Alma 23–24).This episode closes with the reminder that only by repenting, believing on the name of Christ, and exercising exceedingly great faith will we be able to thrust in our sickle while the summer is still here and bring souls unto Him.Come and learn the Doctrine of Christ.

In this episode, Avram and Thora interview Matthew L. Bowen, a professor of Religious Education from Brigham Young University-Hawaii. Bowen has published numerous studies on ancient wordplay in the Book of Mormon. Bowen discusses his study recently published in Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship which explores Mormon's use of the Hebrew root ḥayil/ḥêl, a root that has a wide range of meanings, including “wealth,” “abundance,” and “army.” Bowen argues that Mormon deploys this in a variety of ways in his portrayal of the people of Helam in Mosiah 23, providing new perspectives on the idea of prosperity in the Book of Mormon. Building off of Bowen's paper, this episode talks about how this helps us better understand other ancient aspects of Nephite culture like orality and the centrality of the Exodus narrative.

In this special bonus episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan and McKay Farner share the talks they delivered in sacrament meeting on the greatest commandment: to "love thy neighbor as thyself." Meghan explores the often-overlooked doctrine of self-love through the lens of agape—the unconditional love that God is. She unpacks false beliefs (“unbelief”) that keep us stuck in shame and natural-man identity, reframing repentance as healing rather than punishment. Drawing from Mosiah 3:19, Doctrine & Covenants 93, Moroni 7, and the teachings of President David O. McKay, she invites listeners to see themselves as the “pearl of great price”—already worthy of divine love.McKay then shares a powerful mission story that forever changed his understanding of loving your neighbor. Through personal experience—including stepping away from church activity—he reflects on charity without ulterior motive and what it truly means to love as Christ loves.Together, these talks offer a message of hope, grace, and spiritual maturity:You cannot hate yourself into holiness.You cannot give a gift you have not received.And love is not kindness with a destination attached.00:00 Introduction & purpose of the message00:33 The Great Commandment (Matthew 22)01:19 Agape: the unconditional love God is02:35 False beliefs (“unbelief”) about self-love04:24 Natural man vs. true eternal identity07:23 Repentance as healing, not punishment09:26 Shame, fear, and perfect love10:16 Rest, worthiness, and grace11:50 Meditation as communion with God12:42 The pearl of great price13:52 McKay's mission story begins15:47 What love is not17:13 “Love is not kindness with a destination attached”20:10 Charity defined (Moroni 7)22:27 Princess & sacrificial love23:40 “Greater love hath no man…”24:16 Stepping away from church activity24:48 “It's what Jesus would do.”25:02 Final testimony & invitation Join the Contemplative Prayer + Meditation Q&A with Meghan and Phil McLemore, on February 16th at 7pm MT.

Abstract: The name Helam, attested as a place name in the Bible is also attested as a personal and place name in the Book of Mormon. Evidence suggests that this name is derived from the Hebrew noun ḥayil/ḥêl, which has a wide range of meaning, including “wealth,” “abundance,” “power,” and even “army” (including Pharaoh's “army” or “host”). The form of Helam suggests the meaning, “[God is] their wealth,” “[God is] their abundance,” “[God is] their power,” and even “[God is] their army.” Although the promise latent in the name Helam is celebrated in their exceeding prosperity and abundance, Alma1's people also meet with a dramatic and ironic (apparent) reversal of this abundance and prosperity, when an army of the Lamanites occupies Helam and brings them into bondage. Mormon draws multiple lessons from this event, and he draws substantively from the language of Alma2's conversion accounts to narrate this event and its meaning. The post “They Did Multiply and Prosper Exceedingly in the Land of Helam”: Naming and Narrative Irony in Mosiah 23 first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.
Tune in as Mary and James interview our pastoral candidate, Leonard, and his wife, Elizabeth! They asked them several questions that would've been asked by you, the congregation, if he were here in person. We had a great time and lots of laughs getting to know him, and hopefully, this format will give everyone a good idea of who Leonard is and what he believes, and how he will make a great fit here at FCC!
This episode is part 25 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.This episode covers chapters 20-26 of the book of Alma. We continue the account of the sons of Mosiah as missionaries to the Lamanites. After King Lamoni was converted, he and Ammon went to Middoni to free Ammon's brothers from prison. However, they encountered Lamoni's father along the way. Ammon battled "king dad" and convinced him to release his brothers and let his son reign as he wishes.The brothers do more mission work in an ancient city of Jerusalem but get resistance from Amalekites, Amulonites, and Nehorites. Eventually, Aaron, one of the brothers goes to "king dad" in the land of Nephi and sees a conversion similar to what King Lamoni experienced. As many Lamanites were converted, others tried to attack them.We also learn a bit of the geography of the lands of the Book of Mormon and wonder what part of the western hemisphere this all allegedly describes.Further research:Book of Mormon in videoJoseph Smith: The Prophet of the RestorationThe Book of Mormon online: Alma [chapters 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26]Have questions for Truthspresso?

This episode is part 24 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.This episode covers chapters 14-19 of the book of Alma. While Zeezrom and some people repent, the mob and the chief judge bind Alma and Amulek and imprison them. After months of torment, Alma and Amulek miraculously escape to Sidom. There they heal Zeezrom who had a horrible fever. They start a church there.Eventually, the two travel and run into Ammon and the sons of Mosiah who are now missionaries to the Lamanites. We then see an account of how Ammon became a servant of King Lamoni in the land of Ishmael of the Lamanites. As the power of God aids him, King Lamoni thinks Ammon might be the "Great Spirit." This gives Ammon the opportunity to give a history lesson and "gospel" presentation.King Lamoni prays and gets slain in the spirit for two days. After he wakes up, he gets slain in the spirit again, along with the queen, some servants, and Ammon himself. Lamanites get confused, but everyone on the floor eventually wakes up and talk about how they were changed.Further research:Book of Mormon in videoJoseph Smith: The Prophet of the RestorationThe Book of Mormon online: Alma [chapters 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]Have questions for Truthspresso?

Abstract: This article is part two of an analysis of the literary structure of Alma 17–27. The current article analyzes the literary structure of Alma 21–22, which is “an account of the preaching of Aaron and Muloki and their brethren to the Lamanites” as noted in the heading before Alma 21. These two chapters were originally a single chapter in the first edition of the Book of Mormon. When Alma 21–22 is treated as a single chapter, it appears to have been organized into an extended parallel structure (A-B-C-A'-B'-C') in which matching elements share many strong links and parallels. This literary structure highlights the extraordinary range of missionary experiences that can occur while preaching the gospel. There also appears to be an eight-element chiasm that consists of Alma 21–22 and the conclusion to the preaching efforts of the sons of Mosiah in the first fifteen verses of Alma 23. This is the second of three macro-chiasms characterizing the overall structure of Alma 17–27. The post The Literary Structure of Alma 21–22 first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.
In this episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan explores the meaning of the “natural man” from scripture, how it connects to the ego and false identity, and what it means to yield to the Holy Spirit.

This is part of the record that Ammon read.This record continues Abinadi's sermon to King Noah and his priests. When Abinadi finishes, the king sentences him to die. One of the priests was a young man named Alma who pleads for the king to spare Abinadi. This stunt resulted in Alma being cast out of the court and ultimately a fugitive for his life.King Noah binds Abinadi in prison for three days, then executes him by burning him. The excommunicated priest Alma writes Abinadi's sermon and uses it to disciple about 450 people in secret. Alma starts what he calls the "Church of Christ" by baptizing converts in "the waters of Mormon."

This episode is part 17 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.This episode covers Mosiah 15:1-9 and its clear teaching of modalism. These verses sound like something a Oneness Pentecostal might say.This episode explains the Trinity and how Oneness Pentecostalism differs with clips from Dr. David K. Bernard of the UPCI.Then, we compare what Oneness theology says with what Mosiah 15:1-9 claims about Jesus. Also, the Joseph Smith Translation changes Luke 10:22 to make Jesus say that the Father and the Son are the same person. (Note: I mistakenly said Matthew 11:27 in the audio, which is the parallel gospel account.)It seems undeniable that Joseph Smith was dabbling in modalism while writing the Book of Mormon.Sources Cited:"How Is Jesus Both God and Man? | Episode 36," David K.

How do you not run faster then you have strength? Annie shares about the topic of why it is hard to rest, and shares some quotes from All Things In Wisdom and Order-https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/2010/08/all-things-in-wisdom-and-order?lang=eng "an honest assessment of our strengths and weaknesses—is critical. Then righteous living, thoughtful meditation, and heartfelt prayer place us in the path of heavenly inspiration as we make daily decisions." "Inappropriate or irrational concern for how our efforts compare to the accomplishments of others will result in unnecessary frustration and spiritual decline. Diligent attention to our duties, our inspired choices, and recognition of our limits will enable us to “win the prize.” “And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order” (Mosiah 4:27). "There is nothing, however, in the revelations to suggest that modest results from heartfelt effort are less valued in the economy of heaven than greater or more impressive results."

This episode is part 16 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.This episode covers chapters 9-14 of the book of Mosiah. This is part of the record of King Limhi's grandfather Zeniff that Ammon read.It explains that Zeniff reclaimed the land of Nephi but only by the Lamanites giving him a part of the land. While Zeniff was king, the Nephites and the Lamanites battled several times. The Nephites won, but with bitter casualties.Zeniff helped the land of Nephi prosper before passing the crown to his son Noah. Unlike his namesake, King Noah of the Nephites was kind of like King Belshazzar. He taxed the people and he and his chosen priests lived lavishly.A preacher named Abinadi got into some trouble by pronouncing judgment if the people and king didn't repent. King Noah imprisoned Abinadi, then had him stand before the priests to answer their questions. Abinadi delivered a sermon quoting the ten commandments and Isaiah chapter 53 almost exactly as they are in the King James Bible. We talk about how this poses a challenge to the Book of Mormon being a translation from ancient records as it claims.Further research:Book of Mormon in videoJoseph Smith: The Prophet of the RestorationThe Book of Mormon online: Mosiah [chapters 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]*** Please contribute to the Hurricane relief fund for A.M.

This episode is part 15 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.This episode covers chapters 4-8 of the book of Mosiah. King Benjamin passes the crown of Zarahemla to his son Mosiah. The people all covenant with God and take on the name "the children of Christ."After King Benjamin passes away three years later, King Mosiah sends a band of men to the land of Nephi to find out what happened to others they had sent. Some stay near a hill in Silom outside the land of Nephi while Ammon and his three brothers enter. King Limhi of the Nephites arrests them and asks why they're there. When Limhi finds out they're from Zarahemla just as his grandfather was, they rejoice. The Lamanites had subjected the Nephites to burdensome taxes.Ammon and his brothers learn that some Nephite travelers had retrieved some golden plates from a more ancient civilization. We also find out that a "seer" is superior to an "interpreter" and a "prophet."Further research:Book of Mormon in videoJoseph Smith: The Prophet of the RestorationThe Book of Mormon online: Mosiah [chapters 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]*** Please contribute to the Hurricane relief fund for A.M.

This episode is part 14 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.This episode covers the first three chapters of the book of Mosiah. We have now shifted to the land of Zarahemla to see how they relate to the land of Nephi, and are 300-400 years removed from Jacob, the son of Lehi.King Benjamin who succeeded his father Mosiah to the throne of Zarahemla is now old. 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.
