Come Follow Me week 4 (Matthew 3, Mark 1, Luke 3)

January 24, 2023 23:24 - 12 minutes - 11.7 MB

Jesus went into the wilderness to spend time with His father and was tempted of Satan. It was right after His baptism. Right before He chose His apostles. Right before He preached in the synagogue and healed many diseases and diverse afflictions. This is a pattern Satan exhibits in all our lives. Before and After spiritual experiences with our Father in Heaven, Satan shows up to interrupt our rejoicings. We need to follow our Savior's example and cast him out.   

He is the Light that giveth Life

January 17, 2023 20:20 - 8 minutes - 8.11 MB

January 10, 2023 18:18 - 13 minutes - 6.46 MB

So many who were seeking the Savior. The Shepherds, the Wisemen, Simeon, Anna- all who knew what the signs were and went with Haste to where he was, following the star, or to the temple. What do you seek?  

Come Follow Me New Testament week 1 (Mathew 1 Luke 1)

January 03, 2023 23:26 - 18 minutes - 17.3 MB

What have you done in your life because God commanded you to? Have you ever taken the blame for something because you wanted to protect or sheild someone else? Struggles and trials are not a sign that God wants you to fix something. That the works of God might be made manifest What has God done that has been impossible in your life (what miracles has He worked)? Willingly submit- marriage, parenthood, callings? - Abraham, Nephi, Esther, Joseph Smith Huge miracles= Huge sacrifice

Come Follow Me week 51 (Malachi)

December 13, 2022 18:15 - 12 minutes - 6.31 MB

Come Follow Me week 50 (Haggai, Zechariah)

December 07, 2022 00:07 - 12 minutes - 6.02 MB

"It is significant that the Savior chose to appear to the people at the temple. It is His house. It is filled with His power. Let us never lose sight of what the Lord is doing for us now. He is making His temples more accessible. He is accelerating the pace at which we are building temples. He is increasing our ability to help gather Israel. He is also making it easier for each of us to become spiritually refined. I promise that increased time in the temple will bless your life in ways nothi...

Come Follow Me week 49 (Nahum, Habbakkuk, Zephaniah)

November 29, 2022 23:25 - 13 minutes - 6.9 MB

Joseph Smith History 1: 15- 20 Illustrates the way Satan presents himself, and the way our Heavenly Father and the Savior present themselves, their fruits. There are two distinct choices. The enemy is Satan. We can find God in the temple. He is the way to peace, to light, to progression.  

Come Follow Me week 48 (Jonah, Micah)

November 22, 2022 19:00 - 15 minutes - 7.57 MB

3 in the scriptures means Divine, or complete.  We have the promise that God will confirm all truth in the mouth of two or three witnesses.  The God head is 3 people. Jonah was in the belly of the whale, cried out to God from the "depths of Hell" and was "vomited" by the fish back onto dry land.  Alma the younger tells his son Helaman he was 3 days in the "darkest abyss." When he seemed to remember one Jesus Christ whom his father had testified of. The pains are swept away and Joy fills his ...

Come Follow Me week 47

November 15, 2022 22:28 - 12 minutes - 11.3 MB

God will not remove "punishment" consequences of our actions. He wants us to learn and to grow and to CHOOSE to pair with Him. Our Prophets "roar" His message to the world. Whether they hear it or not! God's law makes life easier. Gives us peace, His enabling power, and ultimately a life with Him.  

Come Follow Me week 46 (Hosea 1-6, 10-14 Joel)

November 08, 2022 20:06 - 14 minutes - 7.19 MB

Joel 2:3 "The land is as the garden of Eden before them and behind them a desolate wilderness."  Pres Nelson Oct 2022 Conf "My dear brothers and sisters, so many wonderful things are ahead.

Between now and the time He returns “with power and great glory,”1 He will bestow countless privileges, blessings, and miracles upon the faithful." Come Lord Jesus Come! What Joy awaits.  

Come Follow Me week 45 (Daniel 1-6)

November 01, 2022 16:39 - 15 minutes - 14.6 MB

God showed Nebuchadnezzar 3 times He is the only God. First through Daniel and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego eating the food they are used to for 10 days and the King proving them. He found them far superior.  Then through testing the magicians, the sorcerers, all his "wise" and seeing who could find out his dream and then tell him what it meant. God shows Daniel the dream and tells him the meaning. Only a God could do that the king declares. The King then builds a 90 foot statue of himsel...

Come Follow Me week 44 (Ezekiel 1-3, 33-34, 36-37, 47)

October 25, 2022 20:03 - 13 minutes - 12.7 MB

As parents, as missionaries, in callings...we are the shepherds. We are called to go after the sheep. To speak the words God calls us to speak! We are accountable to deliver God's message so we stand blameless before God. We can't control if they hear. We each get to answer how deep we want to be. Ankle, knee, thigh- or immersed in His living water. Water that brings life to the desolate land, to dry bones.

Jerimiah is weary with preaching and feels no one is listening. Do you ever feel that way as a parent? Baruch is asked to write the words of the prophet and go and read them in the ears of the people, since Jerimiah is in prison. Do you think he was afraid? He does it! Isn't that what we are asked? As parents, as followers of God- take the words of His prophets, the words of God to the hearing of the people?!  The reward if we are faithful will come!  We are promised all will know!
