Show notes

Alma the Elder continues to teach us about covenants and becoming One with Christ. As He becomes man and like us, we can become One, Redeemed, with him. Mormon crafts this book as a master. We see parallels with Moses. Here are a few we cover today. 1. Cultural outsider 2. Ruler 3. People oppressed by greater civilization 4. Lead by God 5. Leader of his people 6. God's desire to be with His people 7. God creates Covenant Maybe through this, Mormon the editor, is showing us of God's desire to be near us, through Covenants. The covenant on Mount Sinai and our Covenant of Baptism. Both covenants of becoming His Holy People, changing our hearts, becoming His Children.

Also, check out Luke 24 and the Road to Emmaus. powerful stuff As always.

Abinadi continues! This is great and important doctrines of Christ. I love the focus on Christ. His atonement and earthly mission. He becomes like us, so we can become like Him. His love, his humility, his compassion. As we become his offspring, we are redeemed. Like Alma, the priests, Noah, we each have a chance to reach his outstreached hand. Love, love Abinadi.

77. Mosiah 11-17, Abinadi & Characters May 07, 2020

Show notes

As we jump into the story of King Noah, there are a LOT of characters. Using Characters in scripture is different than how we use characters in novels or stories today. In ancient times you don't get a lot of "backstory." So, every word, every description is important to the point of the story. Let's meet: Noah The Priests The People And Abinadi
