Bro Hilton. I am loving and gaining personal growth from your wonderful class. Every class has helped me in several ways. First I'd say in comprehending a lot that I hadn't even noticed before in the scriptures let alone understood. Then I can see myself growing spiritually. Last Sunday was fast & testimony so after prayer I got up and testified of Jesus Christ. I then noticed that the others that got up gave similar testimonies. 😇 I've begun marking in my scriptures again. For some reason, just life I suppose, I haven't done that in years. I am spending more empty time just thinking about Jesus. I'm working on regular daily morning study. It's not a habit yet but it will be. All this growth has come about because of the first class which I did twice because it was so great .... Seeking Jesus And now this class. I'm looking forward to many other classes and presentations by you and others to keep me at a steady pace forever. 💖💖
I have been coming back to this class to review the Mosiah map as I continue to go through the chapters of Mosiah and I cannot tell you how helpful it has been. I have been able to understand on a deeper level the history, journey, afflictions, and conversion of the people. Thank you for sharing this with us brother Hilton!
Brother Hilton, thank you for the diligence, well preparation and presentation of all your classes! You are helping me better understand time periods and distances too among these populations. Great slides even for short segments of each story periods. I was able to visualize it better because of the map too 👍 truly helpful! So much "living history" found in the Book Of Mormon ❤ For me it is an extraordinary growing experience learning from your classes online. Thanks again for all the help and efforts you put into this great work! God Bless You 💞
John thank you so much for the columns chart on Commitment/Assumptions. This i think is a game changer. It is powerful to feel the emptiness of my assumptions which often keeps me from doing the right thing. The Lord has recently shown me that ive struggled with stubbornness and stiffneckedness for decades and now through your video He has shown me how my assumptions have made these negative things so hard to overcome. This chart is truly liberating. This chart is simple but such a powerful tool in uncomplicating our efforts to keep the commandments. The simple principles in this chart which you shared are equal to the 1000'of dollars people pay and many hours of therapy they are seeking. Also thank you for videos ive seen you do in the past on how the Cross Jesus dies on was just as much a part of the Atonement as was Gethsemane. You have a gift of making things clear in your presentations. Thank You
Yay!! Love the charts!! So helpful for us visual learners. Oh and the Isaiah chart.. epic!! I shared with my seminary class then and it was a game changer for all of us.
Yes! I agree that charts/maps/etc. can really help us visualize things better. Thanks so much for teaching seminary. My early AM seminary teachers were GAME CHANGERS in my ife!
Phenomenal episode! I’m going to watch that loop on repeat to memorize and have proper context into what happens later in The Book of Mormon. Thank you, Brother Hilton!
What covenant are they making? It is not baptism, and it is not a temple covenant - how can I make a similar covenant? I was hoping to learn these things so that I can liken these scriptures to myself. The whole purpose of this event for these people was that their hearts were changed, and that is what we all need; it is not optional.
It's a great question...it does sound similar to covenants made both in the temple and endowment: "We are willing to enter into a covenant with our God to do his will, and to be obedient to his commandments in all things that he shall command us, all the remainder of our days, that we may not bring upon ourselves a never-ending torment, as has been spoken by the angel, that we may not drink out of the cup of the wrath of God." (Mosiah 5:5)
