Come Follow Me - Alma 17-22 (part 1): "Instruments in the Hands of God" 

Thanks brother Halverson! Powerful lesson!

I’m just coming back to church after being away for about 7 years. It is so great to learn more and more about the church.

Love the pictures!

I love your lessons. You are an instrument in the hand of God. I am going to go back and listen to them again. Love the sons of Mosiah.

its late but im so happy to see you had a great day today i seen my mom and dad and daughter and next week i hope to see my son after all the dark times i was in i see some light again ill watch this now and nr2 on sunday befor church and 3 after hope you and your loved ones are doing well love you and god bless

The active Saints are strong in Las Vegas! I lived there for 21 years until we moved to Utah. Same good and unfortunate issues are alive and active in both places. Thanks for all of your examples, interpretations, lessons and love for the Gospel!

Thank you!👏😍

I'm grateful for these lessons! :) I watch these videos and read my scriptures while putting my baby to sleep. I gotta say, your voice is better than any lullaby for her, haha! She loves them too! I have been wanting to be more confident in my sharing of the gospel with members in particular. Lately, I have felt shy to teach because, ha! I'm so imperfect and others must see that. Who would want to listen to me or trust in my faith? Certainly, making our lives in alignment with God's will is necessary...but as prophets have said. We aren't going to be perfect here. We just have to keep striving. So then, how can we confidently share the gospel when we don't perfectly live it? I think it's the recipe that was explained...fasting, prayer...striving to be worthy of the Spirit and growing in our testimony. It's fully relying on Christ and recognizing our mortality and His grace. Anyway! I want to support this channel so I made it a goal to write comments 🤣 Mostly just rambling. But thank you for continuing these series of videos! :)

Hey, your prayer came to pass because you teach with power with these RU-vid clips! :) Also, you might not remember this but you causally challenged us to pick an apostle or prophet and go through their past talks to find if they focus on a topic. I picked Russell M. Nelson....it's been such an amazing experience learning more about our prophet teachings...so thank you!

So happy to see the icon to cast this to my smart tv! Is this the first lesson that can be cast? First time I noticed it. Now my husband and I can watch it together. Thanks!

Brother Halvorson, I really enjoy you lessons each morning as my wife and I do scripture study by going through the chapters verse by verse, while following you. I know this might be asking a lot, but is there a chance that you can also do 1-2 Nephi or have I missed it on RU-vid.. your lessons are wonderful thank you for what you are doing

Bro. Halverson I greatly appreciate all the work you put into your videos. I have been edified and enlightened by your insights, wide education and personal experiences. Thank you. And having sincerely said those things to show that I am not just a cavilling sniper I now must say something about a pattern that I see, not only in your teaching but one that I see in other teachers in the church. Brace yourself, I'm about to rant. You first introduce the preparation and devotion of Alma and the sons of Mosiah from Alma 17 but then say. "the end of verse two seems to suggest... it's almost like the sons of Mosiah and Alma are feeling we need to know the Word of God so we can teach..." Seems!? These missionaries clearly are sure, steadfast and firm, undeviating in their devotion. They are set squarely on the rock of a sure foundation. But with an airy "seems, almost" they are blasted onto sand, mush, a wobbly unterfooting that can easily excuse lack of success by saying, "Well I decided to go all the way." "I thought a lot about my assignment, that to have been a pretty good effort." Oh what a convenient hook of an excuse to the vacillating are the words and their ilk. With those weasel words added to the teachings how easy it is to be shaken and yet feel justified! And now, after the fashion of the curmudgeonly, I shuffle off muttering, "Seems? Almost? Bah!" under my breath.

We have the spirit with us or we don't. How can we have a portion of the spirit?

I think Lamoni probably was offended, or he wouldn't have sent Ammon off to to tend the sheep, when so many of the sheep tenders that Lamoni sent off previously were killed. It sounds to me like Lamoni was saying, fine, don't be her husband, but I'll probably kill you. Reminds me to the Dred Pirate Roberts, wink, wink.

Can we hear about the Load instead of how great you are.
