Come Follow Me Podcast #22: “Not My Will, but Thine, Be Done” Luke 22; John 18 Jun 09, 2023

Show notes

June 12-18

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland said, “That first Easter sequence of Atonement and Resurrection constitutes the most consequential moment, the most generous gift, the most excruciating pain, and the most majestic manifestation of pure love ever to be demonstrated in the history of this world. Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, suffered, died, and rose from death in order that He could, like lightning in a summer storm, grasp us as we fall, hold us with His might, and through our obedience to His commandments, lift us to eternal life.”

Come Follow Me Podcast #21: “Continue Ye in My Love” John 14–17 Jun 02, 2023

Show notes

June 5-11

Did you know that the preparation for the Last Supper began with a miracle? It’s subtle, and most readers of the account will not see it—but when you understand the culture and the setting of the time, it’s obvious and it’s amazing.

Come Follow Me Podcast #20: “The Son of Man Shall Come” Joseph Smith—Matt. 1; Matt. 24–25; Mark 12–13; Luke 21 May 19, 2023

Show notes

May 22-28

We have two questions for you: 1) Which chapter in the New Testament did Joseph Smith make the most changes to? It’s Matthew 24 where Christ during his last week on earth told his apostles just what to expect before He would return. Here’s the next question: 2) Do we have any precedent in the Gospel or in history where a people were preparing for the coming of the Lord; they knew He was coming; they knew where He was coming; they even prepared a place for Him to come—and then He came? Of course we see this in the Book of Mormon—but is the same pattern happening in our time? We’re going to explore this question in this podcast.

Come Follow Me Podcast #19: “Behold, Thy King Cometh” Matthew 21–23; Mark 11; Luke 19–20; John 12 May 12, 2023

Show notes

May 15-21

Jesus once told Mary at Cana that “Mine hour hath not yet come,” but now as we start this lesson that has changed as we take you to the beginning of the last week of His mortal life. Now he will say, “Mine hour hath come,” a statement that will break His followers hearts and have implications for every one of us.

“Be Not Afraid” Matthew 14; Mark 6; John 5–6 - Come Follow Me 2023 Podcast 13 Mar 24, 2023

Show notes

March 27-April 1

Not all of the moments and sayings in the life of Jesus can we read as a sequence of events. We have stories and sayings that we can’t always connect. But in today’s study we can see things in sequence, which adds meaning to the story. This includes the feeding of the 5,000, the rescue of the apostles while they are struggling against great winds on the Sea of Galilee, and the Bread of Life speech which motivated many of Jesus’s followers to desert Him.

“Who Hath Ears to Hear, Let Him Hear” Matthew 13; Luke 8; 13 - Come Follow Me 2023 Podcast 12 Mar 17, 2023

Show notes

March 20-26

Jesus taught in parables both to reveal and conceal truths. There is more in even apparently simple statements than immediately meets the eye in what Jesus taught. What for instance does it mean, “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father”?

“These Twelve Jesus Sent Forth” Matthew 9–10; Mark 5; Luke 9 - Come Follow Me 2023 Podcast 11 Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

March 6-12

This episode of the Come Follow Me podcast relates many stories that you probably haven’t heard into the calling of an apostle and what today’s apostles say about their own special witness of Jesus Christ. You will also come to know, by tradition, how each of the Twelve that Christ called eventually died.

"We Have Found the Messiah" John 1 - Come Follow Me 2023 Podcast 4 Jan 13, 2023

Show notes

Two different men named John give us their testimonies of Jesus of Nazareth. How can we resist studying these eyewitness accounts from men called the Baptist and the Beloved? We’ll see one of the best missionary tools in history, an approach that can’t help but bring curiosity to the seeker of truth. Let’s study John, Chapter 1 together.

"We Have Come to Worship Him," Luke 2; Matthew 2 - Come Follow Me 2023 Podcast 3 Jan 06, 2023

Show notes

January 9-15

The chapters in this week’s podcast are familiar to us because we have recited them so many times at Christmas. The surprise is that there are hidden gems and ideas in these chapters we might not have seen before. The Joseph Smith Translation (JST) also adds new dimensions to the old story we love so well. Come and join us again this week.

"Be It unto Me according to Thy Word," Matthew 1; Luke 1 - Come Follow Me 2023 NT Podcast 2 Dec 30, 2022

Show notes

January 2-8

You know, it's important that you add the Joseph Smith Translation to all of your studies in the coming year because Joseph gives us so many insights into the New Testament. We'll talk about them here and there, and you just need to pay attention to those. One of the very first ones that we need to look at is just the fact that Joseph changed the name of the books—those four Gospels— that we call The Gospel According to Matthew to The Testimony of Matthew, and The Testimony of Mark, The Testimony of Luke, and The Testimony of John. That makes a real difference.
