Come, Follow Me Today

”And behold, Joseph was not in the pit”

What happens when you don't stand up for what's right, because you worry about what others will think you? Today we'll discuss what happened when Reuben faced this dilemma in the book of Genesis, and the lifetime of regret that followed.

Genesis 37

Doctrine & Covenants 3:7-9

”It was not you that sent me hither, but God”

When life gets difficult, how do we know whether God is with us? In today's episode we take a look at the story of Joseph, and how he overcame multiple challenges in his life.

Genesis 37-41

”The sceptre shall not depart from Judah”

In today's episode we discuss the transformation of Judah, from selling Joseph into slavery to protecting Benjamin with his life, and what you and I can learn as we go through our own personal transformations.

Genesis 42-50

”Certainly I will be with thee”

Today we dive into the story of the Exodus from Egypt, and compare Moses' impossible task with the challenges that we face in our own lives.

Exodus 1-13

”Your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord”

The Lord has called prophets and apostles to guide his people today, just as he did thousands of years ago with prophets like Moses.  Today we reflect on whether we have the tendency to murmur against the Lord's prophet, just as the Israelites did as Moses tried to bring them to the promised land.

”This thing is too heavy for thee”

When Moses was on the brink of burnout in his new role as Israel's leader, in order to ensure his survival and that of his people he had to learn one of the most valuable lessons in leadership...how to let go and rely on others to help carry the burden.

Exodus 18

”They have turned aside quickly out of the way”

How is it that the Israelites continued to disobey God after witnessing so many miracles? In today's episode, we compare the Israelites choice to worship a Golden Calf to our own daily interactions with the world around us.

Exodus 24-34

Matthew 22:37

”And they came, everyone whose heart stirred them up”

When the Lord asked the Israelites to build him a tabernacle, some chose not to respond.  Today we'll discuss how the same thing happens today with the Lord's people, and maybe even with us personally.

Exodus 35-40

”How long will it be ere they believe me?”

As Moses and the Israelites traveled towards the promised land, they continued to complain against the Lord, even to the point of wanting to go back to Egypt, which delayed their eternal progression. But the Lord never forsook them, and protected them from forces that might have stopped their journey completely. Today we discuss how the Lord protects you and me in this same way, whether we believe or not.

”Lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen”

Moses' fear was that his people would get complacent in the Promised Land, and eventually forget about the Lord their God.  In today's episode, we'll discuss how you and I are also at risk of spiritual complacency, and what we can do to ensure that our families stay strong and return united to our God.
