Often times when we talk about the martyrdom of Abinadi we say that he was killed for teaching about Christ...that isn't necessarily true. Today we look at WHY Noah was so angry and what we can do to keep from falling into the same trap.

Today we look at the comparison we get for Mormon between a righteous leader and a wicked one.

Abinadi teaches that the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ. Today we talk about the different ways that is true.

Justice, Love and Mercy meet in a perfect harmony divine!

Abinadi teaches the wicked priests that the law is ALL about Jesus!

Abinadi tells the priests of Noah that they don't understand with their hearts. What is the role of our hearts in gospel learning? We'll talk about it today!

Sometimes in the scriptures we get so focused on the incredible wickedness of the people that we overlook the incredible mercies of God. Rather than writing the people off and walking away, He sends a prophet to invite the people to repent and change. God is always inviting us to change through prophets and through the Holy Ghost.

Today as we see the war hungry Lamanites come against Zeniff and his people we are struck with how the anger of the Lamanites poisoned their spirits and made them unfeeling.

As Zeniff prepares his people for war, we can learn a lot about the things we can do to strengthen and fortify our homes and lives against the adversary.

Today we learn a principle from Zeniff's life that can help us be more diligent on the covenant path.

The scriptures talk about the sin of "vain ambition." Is that what lead to the downfall of Zeniff and his people?

Ammon is going to teach Limhi the difference between a prophet, a seer and a revelator, and what a blessing it is that we have 15 of them on the Earth today!

Today we talk about the often asked question, "why do bad things happen to good people?"

Today we go over the timeline of the book of Mosiah (it can get a little bit confusing) And we talk about the God of deliverance!

Such a small detail, but it says that the people returned from this conversion experience to their homes and families. Conversion is fostered best in our homes.

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

What does it mean to have the name of Christ written in our hearts, and why is it so important?

Today we talk about the importance of bearing the name of Christ, and bearing it well.

Here again in Mosiah 5 we see the pattern of conversion, we also get a clearer picture on how to have that mighty change of heart and rely on "He who is mighty to save."

Today we talk about our CHOICE to believe, and how that choice should always lead us to change.

Today we talk about peace of Conscious, and how we can have peace of mind by trusting in who God is.

Today we look at this iconic verse and find hope that God doesn't expect us to do it alone.

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.

Today we hear about the blessings of living a life trying to follow the Lord.

We are told in this scripture that we will always be unprofitable servants, so why do we serve? Join me today as we talk about why there is no such thing as evening the score with Heavenly Father.

As King Benjamin begins his sermon he invites the people to treat sacred things sacred. Our attitude toward the sacred can determine how we receive communication from our Heavenly Father.

Here we see a covenant being associated with a name change. It is a familiar doctrine from the Old Testament.

Have you ever noticed that prophets of the Book of Mormon make a point to say that their dad taught them the language of their fathers. Really what that is saying is that their parents taught them how to read the scriptures.

Today we talk about how we are blessed today because Mormon was willing to follow a prompting years ago.

Have you ever done something hard, and not known why until later? Here in the book of Omni, nearly 300 years after the fact, we see so clearly why it was so important that Nephi and his brothers get the brass plates.

Today we talk about family history, and how everything we do in the gospel is centered on Jesus Christ.

"A man filled with the love of God is not content with blessing his family alone, but is anxious to bless the whole human race." Today we see that the conversion of Enos lead him to want others to experience conversion as well.

Today we look at the aspect of Enos' conversion where he learns to receive and believe personal revelation.

Have you ever been super hungry? Enos was...after all that is why he was out hunting. But once the testimony of the words his father had taught him sunk into his heart, his hunger for the spiritual far outweighed the hunger for the physical.

Enos teaches us the process of conversion as he goes from hearing the word of his father, to believing them to living by them.

Today we talk about how to guard our testimonies and keep them safe.

Jacob 6 seemed to be the end of Jacob's writing. He had said his goodbyes! What was so important that it caused him to write one last chapter? It was a warning to us!

Today we talk about one of the greatest sermons ever taught in just 3 words: OH BE WISE!

God has enlisted us in His work, and has promised us certain blessings as we make His work and glory our work and glory.

Today we talk about what it means that we worship a God who weeps, and the blessing that it is to be part of His work.

Sometimes the master's pruning hurts in the moment. But if we can remember that the mater of the vineyard wants nothing more than for us to return to Him, we can have faith to submit to His will.

Someone asked for the talk where yesterday's Uchtdorf quote came from, since I can't respond individually to those responses, I thought I would post it here.

To better understand this allegory, we will take a look at the symbols and what they mean.

Seek not to counsel the Lord, trust Him enough to receive counsel from His hand.

Today we talk about how revelation comes through the scriptures, and God's desires for us to use the atonement in our weaknesses.

If you've ever suffered because of the choices of someone else, then the words of Jacob 3 are for you!

Today we talk about the sin of pride, and Jacob's warning that it will destroy our souls.

Jacob teaches us the attributes of a good leader, and the dangers of "Somewhat."

Today we see what the scriptures teach us about who Jacob was, and we see that he prefaces his writings explaining that everything we will read are things he considers most precious!

How sweet the joy this sentence gives, I know that my Redeemer lives!

All of us are broken in someway, either by our own choices or the choices of others, we all need some healing. Christ heals the broken.
