“Upon the rock of our Redeemer”

Pandemics, fires, distance learning, politics...is your life feeling overwhelming? The Nephites also went through a prolonged period of strife after the death of King Mosiah. Today we’ll discuss some lessons we can learn from their prolonged conflict that may help us as we navigate our own.

“How could you have forgotten your God?”

How do we ensure we never forget our God? We’ve watched the Nephites go through cycle after cycle of prosperity and destruction, and they always seem to fall away from their faith. Today we’ll discuss how to ensure we don’t fall victim to the same cycle of pride, and to always remember our God.

“Thou hast with unwearyingness declared the word”

Helaman Chapter 10

”Ye do not remember the Lord thy God”

The Nephites often forgot their God, but never forgot their riches.  Today we'll discuss the lessons we can learn from the story of Samuel the Lamanite about how to not get distracted from remembering our Savior by all the worldly things in our lives.

“And this shall be unto you for a sign”

Will you believe when the Savior comes? This is the question that the Nephites have struggled with for 600 years. Today we’ll discuss how their situation relates to our own, and how to prepare ourselves to meet Christ.
