I hungered for these words. I had to wait. But today I was fed Christ's love through you. My son passed away 18 years ago today. We have never found out the cause. We miss him. But I can't help but feel his joy is full, like our Father's, when my heart rejoices in the promises, I will see them both again. No words can express my love and gratitude for my Savior, His atonement, the covenants I have made, and His promises to me. Thank you for blessing my life today.
Oh boy, this lesson had me stirring with so much emotion. Love for my Savior, a craving to be in His presence, gratitude for His compassion and healing through the ordinance of the sacrament...loved the part about the sacrament you shared and then your testimony at the end about prayer being for us and that spiritual power can be found in few words, speaking from our souls that which our tongue can not express. The tears fell as I listened to you share that. Thank you so much for taking the time to record these lessons each week and for enhancing my gospel study so beautifully. I hope you will continue to post videos with each of the standard works as we study them!!! 🙏🏻
Oh my heavens! 😢 My heart just broke in two when you explained that “the multitude gave way”. I thought, “am I giving way to those I love to get their own sick, lame, or otherwise weakened state to the only person who can heal them? Or am I trying to be the portal through which they must pass to get to the savior?” I hope that, as we read and study the scriptures, we learn to see ourselves in them. For me, watching “The Chosen” assisted me greatly. May the Lord bless all that are in need of His healing touch. And may you recognize others who also need it and that you, too, make a way for them to get to him. Because they are hurting so much and need us to make a path to him.
Thank you for this lesson. I needed this one especially today about Jesus ministering by perceiving and knowing individual needs, how he feels about children and families, partaking of the sacrament in a more meaningful way, and praying.
Thanks to both of you for this beautiful lesson. When I think about Christ’s visit to the Nephites I think of the pure love felt by all who were there, and I recall the times I felt that pure love. I’m so thankful for our Savior and the peace he helps us feel amid these turbulent, troubled times!
Thank you so much for those wonderful insights into partaking of the sacrament. You make everything so much more special for me. And thank you for sharing photos of your family, beautiful !
Thank you for this lesson. Great as always!! I love the knowledge that the Savior wept - He wants us to accept Him and His teachings and this group did❤️. It’s personal to Him that they accept Him and after the rejection of the Old World (“Oh, Jerusalem 😔”), this acceptance would flood Him with joy. I know (for myself), when I’ve struggled so deeply and then my efforts are accepted, it totally overwhelms me to the point of tears. 😁
Thank you for this powerful lesson. You brought out some things that I had not thought of before. You all are so awesome and knowledgeable. I am grateful for the powerful lessons you give each week. I am learning so much! Love the spirit that you bring to my home.
Brothers This class especially helped me make a decision to adopt this beautiful baby, thank you for your help, thank you for dedicating your lives to the service of the Lord, many blessings in your lives, thank you 💖 😘
Always uplifted through your lessons. Thank you for the very personal example and photos of your family. Such a powerful message about how the Savior views our children. A sermon indeed for the whole world...I'm.so grateful to be a mother and a grandmother . Thank you again for being such a wonderful resource in our Come Follow Me studies. Love from the east coast of Nova Scotia.
What a spiritual lesson love the part where the little child turned and looked at Jesus when he was walking by.you could feel the love Jesus had for little children.thanks for your personal touches added to this
I'm grateful that the church has picked you all to teach and to explain more what we read in the scriptures ! I have just read through these chapters and didn't receive near of what you explained just in the short term. So thank you thank the Lord he would bless you all and have his spirit with you and your family ! Your families are very blessed to have someone like you too explained this stuff !
Thanks for being part of this group, Les. And for clarity, we have chosen to share our testimonies this way. We haven't received this assignment from the church :)
There are not enough words to express my feelings for my Savior, I am grateful that I can learn more about him through these passages from the Book of Mormon. I was able to feel the Spirit in a very special way with this lesson. Thank you. May God bless you to continue being an instrument in His hands.
Thank you for holding up your light to all the world. Reading the Book of Mormon with your help and support has resulted in remarkable changes to my life. I am so thankful that Our Saviour led me to this channel. I am so grateful for all the blessings that I have received since I began visiting here in March 2020. Thank you so much to everyone at Book of Mormon Central.
Thank you so much Taylor and Tyler for sharing your family photos and experiences with us as you teach from 3rd Nephi chapter 17. They are really special and so is the message about children :)
Thank you! Your lessons are insightful and powerful, and enriching my studying of the Gospel and Doctrine of Jesus Christ. May God bless you for what you are doing for so many.
Thank you again for another extremely insightful lesson. I am single, never married, no children. Thank you for helping me feel valued by your sharing about your children's aunty. I work with children in my career as well as at Church and realise what a great blessing that is, Thank you for helping me remember how blessed i am.
My only Aunt, (I also do not have any uncles), never married, no children. She was another sibling to us, and blessed our lives greatly. I know she is blessed and loved. She had great faith, and I have no doubt will receive the eternal blessings she looked forward to.
I love your comments about the children in our life. I have two children but have not had the blessing of grand children but the Lord has blessed me by giving me the opportunity to serve as a Primary President just when the timing was right for me. Because of that calling I had more grandchildren that I would of had if my children had had children. I truly felt blessed to have had that experience. I recently was called to be a counsellor in the Primary presidency. That gave me the experience again of having great grandchildren. I am so thankful for the opportunities i have had to love and be loved by Primary children..
Wonderful lesson brethren! Love your stories - It is no doubt that your beautiful families have contributed to your spirit filled insights. Thank you. Watching you from Australia!
I find these lessons so wonderful and the spirit is so strong as they are presented. At the beginning of this lesson, it was stated that Jesus perceived that the people were weak and Jesus stopped in his teaching and looked upon the people. I believe that if we desire to help people, we must first help them in their temporal needs first before we can help them in their spiritual needs so that they know, it is being done out of love because they are suffering. Jesus then proceeded to heal the sick.
The scriptures always surprise me 🙂 I never thought of something that I’d get out of my study was being immensely grateful for things that stretch marks or other birth scars because the savior also has scars of love and life
Bless you both for your willingness to take your time to prepare and present these lessons. I am always glad that I take the time each week to watch you. I always gain new insights that I hadn't considered/or been aware of. Bless you both!!
Good job guys. Getting a better insight into the character of God is really the beginning of a true understanding of whom we worship, why we worship that being, and what our potential is if we share the grace, mercy, and love that is extended to us with others. Salvation and exaltation really is a game of selfless reciprocity and emulation.
Thank you very much for spiritual feedings you provide that nourishes my soul personally everytime I watch n listen to ur inspiring lesson from the scripture. Been reading the scriptures but this time with you too expounding the verses line upon line its just amazing...
Oh my -- we love these wonderful insights! We watch them each week as part of our study of "Come Follow Me." You teach with the Spirit -- thank you! We have eight children and loved seeing your beautiful families. Truly, when love is divided, it multiplies.
I love how you both shared pictures of your families! So beautiful!! Love truly multiplies with each child. Our fifth child became ours when we adopted her through the foster care system. She has two siblings that are not in foster care because they have a different dad and he has custody. But her two siblings come to visit all the time and I love them like my own! I have a great relationship with the birth parents too and they have become like family to me. The birth mom of my daughter tells me that she looks up to me like an older sister. 💕 It makes it so worth it! 💕There are so many challenges that come with adoption that only those in the trenches understand... so many I never anticipated. Let's just say I've learned some pretty ugly things about myself, some very hard and humbling lessons, learned I have a lot of pride... Through it all, I have gained a great appreciation for the gift of repentance, the atonement of Christ. With all of these challenges and hardships, my eyes are being opened more and more to the worth of every soul and how much God wants us to get over ourselves, get outside ourselves, and truly care for and lift eachother.
Brothers, so grateful for your wonderful insights. Love your families and stories! I always feel an increased reverence for the Savior through your teachings. Thank you.
Tyler and Taylor- your perspectives on the Gospels always add understanding to my testimony, and I look upon the Sacrament now so much more than I have as more than a love for, and a responsibility to my Savior, and since, for the last 6 months, I have been blessing and passing the Sacrament to my family, it now will be a much more personal and understood ordinance --- THANK YOU BOTH!!!!--rick--- almost forgot---6 MORE TEMPLES!!!!!!
And really thank you for sharing part of your lives with us, about your family and the ways in which God can use us, no matter our circumstances and our family model ... it was beautiful and leaves me a great task of reflection ... Thank you!
Thank you very much, for taking the time to prepare and dig deep sharing your knowledge here. and explaining the SACRAMENT part of our faith so much appreciated I learned a lot from you guys' lesson. A beautiful family of you guys and also all the pictures you share I love that. thank you again and well done love it
Such incredible chapters about Jesus showing an example of how to love children ! May we all learn to follow Him. Thanks for the pictures of your families too. I have wondered about them all this year. I love Book of Mormon Central ! God bless you all for your service.
Thank you . You are blessing so many lives! I celebrate that you two wonderful brothers read and “SEE’ so very much and then you encourage each of us to also “see” more! May God Bess you and all your loved ones!
Thank you so much for spending your precious time to bring us these inspiring insights. My sister and husband and I study the scriptures together, via messenger every day. We are in our 70's and live in Australia. We can't wait for each episode you prepare for us! We are truly blessed that you have entered our lives. Our lives have been changed considerably because of your precious gift. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
You both have such a wonderful talent to teach and motivate by the spirit. Your knowledge is incredible and very inspired. Thank you for what you are doing weekly. I really look forward each week to your teaching. God bless both of you and your families.
I am literally crying right now because this lesson touched me so much. And your feelings at the end described mine perfectly! I'm so very grateful for the times when I feel the Savior's love so strongly that I literally bask in it! Thanks so much for another amazing lesson!🤗
I was so happy when I saw that there was another video lesson for me this week. In fact, 3 Nephi 17 is my favorite chapter of the Book of Mormon. I always think about verse 3 when the Lord tells the people to go home and prepare their minds. General Conference is coming up and I think this verse is also for us to prepare our minds, because the Lord will be there personally with our Father and we will feel Their Holy Presence thru the Holy Ghost if we do what He told the Nephites to do in verse 3.Thank you both for this fantastic lesson. Thanks for the explanation about the symbolism of the Bread and Wine /Water we partake every Sunday. I pray that our Father bless you and your families everyday with is Holy Spirit.
What a beautiful, touching lesson. The sacrament has so much more meaning to me now, with your beautiful explanation and analogy. Thanks for all your efforts each week to help us understand the gospel better.
Now I know why I feel so connected to you! I have been adopted and have a large family and I love my Heavenly Father dearly.I am sure you are wonderful fathers and husbands Thank you again my brothers for this lesson. Greetings from Belgium
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the gospel, you two have beautiful families thank you For showing me by example how wonderful children are to Heavenly Father and us is amazing how we can influence and help families with their children❤️
I loved seeing the pictures of your beautiful families! I also didn't get married until I was 31 and didn't have children until 35 (through adoption, too!) During those childless years, the empty place in my heart was filled many times by nieces and nephews--of siblings, cousins, and friends. You talk about how the single aunt, uncle and friend are blessing your children, but you and your children are blessing their lives too!
Your lesson helps me realize how important my role as a teacher - to love and have compassion to my students despite their background. God's profound love inspires, heals, and unify people of different cultures.
I learned early on during my mission back in the 80s that when I was spiritually fed to a high degree at Zone conference I would get a "zone conference headache". I've now got a zone conference headache. Such an uplifting lesson. And you both have beautiful families. I got married at 37 and we were blessed with two boys. The oldest is just 21 and has special needs. He has taught us many things and he has a childlike faith.
The children - my favorite part too! "The fire is the flaming feet of angels, dancing love around our hearts, the fiery, flaming feet of angels dancing love around our hearts..."
I love the personal examples you both gave! How we each have other's that come into our life & our children's life! One day our children asked us, how is aunt Phyllis related to our family? She is our adopted family whom we chose! She has blessed our life & our children's in countless ways! Thank you again for this Beautiful lesson! This has always been my Very favorite part in the Book of Morman!
I love all your lessons and this one especially so! I married at 21 and planned to have 6 children by the time I was 30. The Lord had a different plan and we were blessed with a beautiful daughter (now 21) by adoption. We wouldn't have it any other way♡ So grateful for your beautiful insights into family, Christ and the miracle of children❤Kia Kaha and much love❤
Our study group of 8 seniors deeply value your lessons. Each of us hold 40 plus years of strong activity in the Lord’s restored Church. Weekly we comment on an insight gained from your lesson. Due to family demands in the upcoming months , we are accelerating our study to be completed by Thanksgiving , so thanks for your early lesson given this week for next week’s manual schedule. If you continue to accelerate your presentations we won’t have to miss your important addition to our study of this great book of scripture. Thanks for your wonderful lessons.
Taylor Halverson No problem! It was a FYI but more of a thank you for the marvelous instruction. Each of us does independent study that includes your lesson and the we gather on Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm for group. All have adult children so our “senior family” meets for Come Follow Me. It is amazing to be in the Lord’s restored church. We love your instruction and the Spirit in which it is delivered.
Thank you Brethren for this touching look into your hearts and souls! Your families are beautiful! I'm grateful you reminded us about our family on both sides of the veil for I have a son on the other side along with parents and siblings and because of the Savior's Atoning Sacrifice I am sure I will be reunited with them all! Your thoughts on the Sacrament moved me so much! It adds another dimension to an already vital part of my own worship. God Bless and know that you are loved.💗💗💗
Thank you Tyler and Taylor for teaching by the Spirit of the Lord. I found it interesting in 3 Nephi 17:3 that Jesus invited the people to "go ye unto your homes and ponder." And again in 3 Nephi 19:1 "every man did take his wife and children and did return to his own home." Isn't is marvelous that through all of the destruction which occurred on the face of the land at the death of Jesus, that He kindly and with surgical precision preserved "the homes" of the more righteous of the people? I think that this should give the righteous of our day great hope that notwithstanding all the destructions yet to come upon the earth in these latter days, that He may preserve our places of refuges, our temples and homes.
Dear Tyler and Taylor, this is one of your best videos. The “parable” of mother cat really moved me (I love cats), but when I heard the story of your families, your unselfish, Christ-like love for your children, the blessing they are for you, your wives, and your relatives, some tears went down my cheeks. Thank you again for sharing this.
I like looking for the differences because it helps me focus on the truth... Mosaic law, the gospel on ancient Israel, in the book of Mormon, in the infant church of the 1800-s, to the recent changes put in place during a pandemic... All help me to see the truths of God and His hand.
This way the Savior FIRST succored the people reminds me of a quote I heard from an Elder on my mission; I think Brigham Young said it. Paraphrasing: “If someone comes walking down the road, torn, bleeding, hungry, you don’t rush up and ask them the Golden Questions: ‘What do you know about the Gospel of Jesus Christ-would you like to know more???!!!”
