Thanks so much. Ever since church was closed. It has been challenging for me. I live alone. So having these wonderful discussions have made ALL the difference for me. I pray that you all stay healthy and safe. Again, thank you for doing what you're doing.
What an amazing quote by Patricia Holland - I can see why Tyler stated it is his favorite quote. Feeling the foundational liberty we SAY we believe in, to be who we truly are, to feel comfortable and empowered in our own skin, is something that we all yearn to feel - and maybe like you discussed we only get there by a lifetime of doing the repetitive things a little better day after day. I read a comment recently (in a George Handley book) where he says it's so important to remember that "the fold is not the mold". There isn't a one and only way to be a good disciple of Jesus Christ. I love your weekly lessons - thank you!!
Alma 5 is one of my favorite chapters. In alma. It brought me out of. My dark past. You two are inspiration to my family. My parents decided to do. Come follow me. As an family sunday school class. Using zoom. Even my sister who is inactive. Started to take interest now. The book of mormon is real. You two bring the book to life. It makes more since now. I grew up in the lds church. Served mission, former truck driver. Now I'm home more. Thank you, for doing this. It helped me. To understand the scriptures better.
You are teaching my husband and me so much about the Book of Mormon. Every week I gain something new that I hadn't quite thought of before. My testimony is growing over this amazing book when listening to your insights. Sometimes I feel you are speaking directly to me. I thank you both for sharing your knowledge.
OMG!! Thanks Tyler that's exactly how I've been feeling for so long. I'm the only member in my family. But even as a convert I have a lot of those experiences. Thank you for affirming I'm not alone in that experience. (time 29:00)
Oh thank you so much for this lesson that you guys have presented to us! I love it ! Just what I need in my life. I'm so thankful I was humbled enough to really listen to your words and to go back and read these things in Alma and stop being so hard on myself. Thank you Taylor and Tyler. I I know for a fact that heavenly father has provided you to be such awesome teachers at this time in our lives thank you! ♥️♥️👍👍
God does love you. All of us! He has sent His Son to remind us that we are saved through Him. We simply need to show our love and devotion to God and as we do, we'll find ourselves on the path of salvation.
Thank you for making a safe place for us to study and learn. Having a measure of scrupulosity, I always know that I can listen freely to you and turn the sound up, that I won't have to talk myself back into rationality, but be uplifted, and my heart turned more to my Saviour and feel how His is turned to me. Just thank you.
I know I was so much blessed because of Alma's words that I need to contact again those missionaries who gave to me The Book of Mormon. I told them I want to continue investigating the church.. It's nearly 13 years now that I never had any regrets being a member of Lds church.. Heavenly Father loves me so much. He knew my personal struggles to really understand The Book of Mormon. Years back I always try to finish reading it from cover to cover.. But I know I really need help from anybody to really understand those chapters and verses. I testified that God really answers prayers in His due time.. These great teachers really helps me to better understand The Book of Mormon and I am so lucky with bonus( they're also teaching me the meaning of those prefixed words and so on with matching vocabulary on my part)..It's like perfect 😇😇 Really learned a lot from you Brother Taylor and Tyler.. I am worrying now what if there's no internet😔 I am always grateful for the two of you.
My daughter was 26 and had a diagnoses of breast cancer , and it was fast growing. I couldnt stop crying. I knew I couldnt help her with it all and her children if I couldnt stop crying. I started fasting and praying to be able to for get my pain and to bless her to live. But it was a battle with Satan to keep from feeling so sorry for myself for him telling me she was going to die. I even roll down the window in the car hunt housing to get out finally one night about a weekend I had a dream after saying very wedding prayer, I dream that I literally had a fight with Satan and kicked him out. The next day I went to my daughter's house I had this feeling the words just thing to go through my body same she's going to be okay but in that message reading between the lines I knew that didn't mean she was going to live. But I was able to come to terms with it I'm just tell her all that I could and enjoy the time that I had.
Thank you so much for this wonderful explanation from the lecture of this week! The monday evening is yours and the learning and deepening from the Guideline of our church💖👌🤗🌹
Thank you. I was so happy when I got this notification today!! As usual so many incredible things my eyes are opened to and so many wonderful insights from you both.
Thank you again so much brethren I really enjoy watching these videos every week with my family thanks for bringing deeper insight into the book of Mormon and helping me think of things that I have not thought of before
precious Guys!! one of my favorites tooooooo!!!! yes. spread light and goodness always!! thanks so much! may God bless you and yours always!! thanks for your teachings.. fabulous as always!
Thanks for the great lessons. My wife and I use your "Insights" to supplement our weekly readying. It is testimony to me that the Come Follow Me program was truly inspired. I also use the Reading Plan from Scriptures Plus as a great supplement as well.
Thank you for this beautiful lesson. It truly lifted my spirit and strengthened my desire to follow Alma’s counsel to come unto Christ for true peace and relief as I repent and receive His grace.
Again I´d like to thank both of you for the Spirit that I feel when I watch these videos. Thanks for your testimony of The Lord Jesus Christ and of The Book of Mormon. May the Lord keep blessing you in all your efforts.
In the last five months as I have allowed you to teach me through the Come follow me program I have come to understand the scriptures better and I have come to love you both, You make the Book of Mormon come to live for me. Thank you each for being who you are and sharing your knowledge of this book with all who watch.
Thank you so much for another wonderful lesson! You both have made me decide to go back and reread Alma 5-7 again and ponder everything you have said. Have a great week!
I truly appreciate your insights and encouragement, your love of the Lord and the Joy you express! Thank you so much! It took many years to feel the Joy IN the trials. And to share that Joy with those around me. I learned to dance without hearing the music so much. But you both help with that...
Such a powerful message! Not only are you teaching the principle that we are all different and we should appreciate our differences, but you have set the example. Please tell me that you’ll continue these lessons even when this pandemic is over. 🙏🏻
I go walking on my lunch break, it’s crazy how my mind can wander. Both negative and positive thoughts swirl through my mind. I had an idea to plug my earphones into my phone and listen to positive messages. I listen to conference talks, you guys, and other gospel centered speakers. The difference is amazing! I’ve received personal revelation on how to deal with various challenges, the spirit speaks to me as I listen! I’m so grateful, thank you🙏🏻!
I used to live in Bloomington, Indiana for 5 years. I call my time in Indiana my Zion time! I met my wife and we started our lives together. Much love to you.
I need to take the time and thank both of you for these wonderful videos. I am grateful for the truths you both teach and for your insights. Watching your videos, along with studying the Church's curriculum has opened the scriptures up to me in new and inspiring ways. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share these.
You guys are awsome..keep doing what you doing cos we are inspired by your teaching. I know that the Lord must have a place prepared for you guys in His Kingdom for your selfless service for taking time as you leave your family time behind to share this beautiful teaching with us.
Thank you again Bro Tyler and Taylor. I’ve learned a lot from the lesson. I’m so grateful I found your video . I get excited and look forward to watch your teachings. This is such a blessing to me. You guys are amazing and gifted... thank you for sharing your God given talent😇😇😇
I like to view your videos on Sunday, after we’ve completed the week of personal and family scripture studies. You just don’t disappoint! It’s more than the insights, information or knowledge obtained. It’s the love and sweet Spirit I feel going through the scripture verses alongside you two. I notice how I’ve been able to find some of the things you teach on my own and also how much I still get to learn by being a subscriber. I hope you continue making these every year.
That was a very strong quote in the first part, thanks for that. No wonder we can never really understand the full suffering of others. We can never compare, only to our own improvements, as you quoted after that, from Henry B Eyring.
Another fantastic and insightful lesson. I look forward to learning from you and the spirit each week! Thank you for your preparation and for your deep, abiding testimonies. I am always amazed at God’s timing -even to the very thoughts I’ve been having and how they correlate with the scripture blocks and my personal studies in grad school and more! God is good, ALL the time! 🙏🏼💖
Thank you so much for your lessons. As a word nerd I especially appreciate Taylor's contribution. It helps me connect with the scriptures. Alma 5 is a difficult chapter for those of us who struggle with depression. Over the years I have come to realize that if I can't feel to sing the song of redeeming love right NOW, it may not be my "fault", and if I REMEMBER the Lord's goodness and mercy in the past, and that there are sunny days amidst the gloom, then I have hope and can persevere. Wendy Ulrich calls it Spiritual Nebraska. All that to say, thank you Tyler for teaching Alma 5 with gentleness and context. Sometimes my EKG machine is faulty, and I just have to be patient in my afflictions until it gets a tune up. I seek the Lord and ask for him to help me see clearly..to see Christ in ME when I can't see it on my own. 💗
Again inspiring lesson, the beautiful quotes, thank you, I have still 10 minuten lessen to listen and almost sad that it is finished, fortunately next week
We pray before we do each video and we specifically pray that everyone will feel God's love, and the power of His spirit through the scriptures because of His Son.
A timely powerful reminder of our very personal and intimate quest as we individually journey through mortality, one by one. Our travel includes many challenges, struggles, storms, whirlwinds and successes too! Indeed, our mortal quest, is part of a marvellous eternal adventure, one eternal round, without beginning or end. Thank you for elevating my thinking again, to personalise all of the questions in Alma 5. I know that small incremental changes, over the long term - drop by drop - has significant, long lasting impact - "that" is certain!
I love your insight to the Book of Mormon. I love your enthusiasm as you teach. I love listening to both of you each week.... almost disappointed when each lesson is over and look forward to the next week. Thank you so very much for sharing your testimony and your love of the savior. It strengthens me more than you’ll ever know. May God bless you both for your unselfishness.
As I study the Book of Mormon and listen to your presentations, I have found myself thinking much more of my Saviour and the things I still need to do to become more like Him. I am so inspired always when I listen to you.
I want to know how 44 people disliked this video? Two incredible, knowledgable, humble teachers doing their best to provide insight on a weekly basis about gospel topics and the weekly Come Follow Me lessons. No matter, go forth and continue the excellent job you do each and every week. I feel uplifted and so much better every week I listen to these videos. I love these brethren even though I likely will never met them. Respect!
In my opinion, it is also extremely important that we get an answer from the Savior himself by asking him if we are living our lives in the manner that he accepts. He is a perfect judge where we can not perfectly judge ourselves.
Wow, so rich with "liken unto me." Took me a few hours to watch and absorb. So grateful. THANK YOU for addressing the cultural tendency over the pulpit to say, "It is ok to doubt." So grateful you brought that one very insidious piece of sophistry out in the open and put truth against it. Culture should not inform our thinking, the Lord must. Bless you.
I just want to thank you. You are an amazing teacher. I am learning so much. I was born in the church but left when my parents divorced. I came back 31 years later. Recently sealed. I can’t thank you enough for explaining the gospel so clearly.
Regardless of how we answer the first questions, the important one at the end is "will ye persist?" What we persist in doing will determine our end result, good or bad. Thanks for another great lesson.
Thank you very much for helping me appreciate even more Alma 5 and counting my blessings and to choose in which team I want to be, and whose "salary" I look forward to receive. Take care!
When Brother Halverson said this life is a test & wasn't meant to be easy is so very true. We all are born into various circumstances which are meant to test us whether it be a disability, personal relationships, issues with pride, the Word of Wisdom etc. not to mention living it today's world where we are dealing with the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus, & the recent riots, protests and civil direst consequent of the death of George Floyd. We can have peace in Christ by increasing our determination living the gospel of Christ and striving to minimalizing Satan's temptations in our lives. President Russel M. Nelson said it best when he said "The time is coming when those who do not obey the Lord will be separated from those who chose to do so (see D&C 86:1-7). Our safest insurance is to be worthy of admission to His holy House. the greatest gift you give to the Lord is to keep yourself unspotted from the world, worthy to attend his holy house. > HIs gift is to you will be the peace and security of knowing that you are worthy to meet Him Whenever that time comes. Therefore in conjunction to reading & studying the scriptures we must follow the living prophet our priesthood leaders and parents and none else.
You two are awesome please never stop teaching us I so look forward to your every video I understand the scriptures far better since I been listening I have always loved the scripture ,but never have I heard them thought with so much love thank you.
T&T Brothers, Engaging Scripture Block (Alma 5-7) this week with Chapter 5 "having more questions than any other chapter in all of our Canonized Scripture." If I may, I would like to add some supportive information regarding Alma 7:10. I was fortunate to take a RM Book of Mormon class from Reid Bankhead following my mission. I really enjoyed his class where he always used the phrase, "Ok, you Returned MIssionaries, remember Patience Job" when we got impatient and wanted to jump ahead. Regarding Alma 7:10 and his explanation, "he shall be born of Mary AT Jerusalem." It was the first time I heard of the "Amarna Letters specifically EA 271 & EA 290 Circa 1365-1335 bc. At this specific reference point, it ALSO uses the phrase "At Jerusalem." Of course, Amarna is located in Egypt which I like to think of the language used by Lehi of Reformed Egyptian. However, I'm not sure if there is a tie in but it is sure interesting to ponder. Either way, the language used "At Jerusalem" was also used anciently and NOW YOU KNOW WHY !!
Thank you both so much for teaching my Heart ❤️ The more I Learn,. the more I want to Learn, the more I get excited and grow Love for Learning about our Savior's Love ...
I love the Temple Recommend question response to "How am I doing Spiritually." Something to think about...Alma DID ask questions....We can keep track of where we stand spiritually when we ask ourselves QUESTions....A lot of people that do not live in Salt Lake City, call it the Salt Lake area....but when people actually live there, they distinguish the areas like Midvale, Murray, South Jordan....etc....So I can totally understand that Christ was born AT Jerusalem.
Loved the quote from Sister Holland. So true! Also, here is the way I think of the part about the Savior being born at Jerusalem. First of all, Joseph Smith knew Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Another proof he didn't write it. Also, the Lord was helping the people of Alma know that Christ would be born in the Old world of their ancestors- which was called Jerusalem to them.
I am a beat myself up body of disability. But on the day of Judgement, I will stand before my God. On one side of the room the devil on the other side Christ. The only one testifying of all the Commandments I broke or transgressed will be the devil. I will not defend myself. I will be on that day thankful. I will be telling the Father all the Good that Jesus has done for me as the Savior of my soul. Here on earth on the first Sunday of each month I practice for the day of Judgement before the Bar of God. I do not defend me I testify FOR Jesus Christ. It is not about me. All I am, All I had been before baptism, all I will become is because of Jesus Christ. There is no self battering in heaven like on earth. Those are of the world and of the fall of this world. No, I am a child on God. I defend his choice to send the Messiah to lead me home. He did, He does, and I am . Testimony Sunday is a practice day for the final Judgement. Do you know Jesus Christ, Did you follow him. Did you improve by the teachings of His Holy Spirit. It is not about me. Henceforth and forever, what has Jesus done for thee.
