Book of Mormon [ALMA 5-7]] Insights
“They Were Steadfast and Immovable”

WEEK 24: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:

This week Alma begins his reactivation tour. He’s hoping to kindle the dim fires of faith in the people of Zarahemla and stoke the flames he finds in the hearts at Gideon. He’ll testify of mighty changes and ask a series of questions to help members evaluate their own status before God. In the process, he’ll share beautiful sermons about the mercy, ministry, and mission of Jesus Christ.

Questions to Consider:

Alma 5:19 | Why not reflected in your countenance? What does the word engraven imply? Permanence? Sacrifice? Something more?

Alma 5:44-46, 6:6 | Do you see a link between these verses? Why are fasting and mighty prayer a powerful tool for both individuals and groups?

Alma 7:19-20 | What is this path? Where is it leading? If we control its straightness, is it a path to us? Does it link to John the Baptist or to Proverbs 3:5-6?

    The truth you taught about Golden Roads and Pearly Gates brought tears to my eyes because of its profound beauty. Thank you!
  • One way to reach students of multiple levels (maturity, spirituality, etc) is teaching by the Spirit and you do a great job at this. Thank you for your authenticity and genuineness. Music definitely conveys the Spirit and singing the song of redeeming love is something that gets the Gospel down into the heart of every truth-seeker. Elder Uchtdorf's talk about "not dying with the music still in you" communicates this message about conversion and commitment to me in ways that nothing else does. Thank you again for sharing your talents!
  • I do like your lessons. The teaching style you have is "easy" to listen to!
  • As far as the crooked paths. I always thought that meant whatever path we are cutting for ourselves (with our agency) will determine if the Lord can follow us on our path. If we’re making a crooked path, He can’t come with us. It’s not that we affect his agency. It’s that, what we do with our agency, determines whether He can join us in our lives or not.

    You cannot change yourself; Christ does it. We must realize that the only way we can have a mighty change is to invite Christ into our lives to change our hearts and make us a new creature through the baptism of fire and the holy ghost (2 Nephi 31:17). That is also how we receive a remission of our sins. Most of the talks in general conference these days make it sound like we just need to try harder, and we can have a mighty change - that is not true. We are nothing; we cannot earn anything except to go to hell (Mosiah 2:20,21). Only by seeking for Christ to come and change us will we become new creatures. At least that is what the I believe scriptures teach.
