How is paying tithing like the movie Frozen? In Part II, we learn how tithing and sacrifice allow us to “let go” of the less important matters and also, how there are no small acts in the kingdom. The Lord magnifies our efforts to enact miracles.
Does the Lord care about the name of His Church? Join Dr. Franz Belot as we discuss the importance of names, the command to build a temple in Far West, Missouri, and how gathering strengthens the Saints. Like today, we wonder if the Church is getting stronger or weaker, and the Lord reminds us that we will “rise again.”
Elizabeth Kuehn continues to expound on the difficulties with the Kirtland Safety Society, the Kirtland Apostasy, and the power of the Lord’s reassurances in a time of contention, conflict, and confusion. The early Saints learn how to organize a worldwide church, manage finances, and battle discouragement and disunity.
After the spiritual highs of the Kirtland Temple dedication, the Saints struggle with a financial downturn, the failure of the Kirtland Safety Society, and apostasy. Elizabeth Kuehn joins the podcast and relates where the Lord finds the Saints find “unexpected” treasure in Massachusetts and how the Saints battle tribulations and divisions that threaten them.
Dr. Brent Rogers returns and shares the Kirtland Temple dedicatory prayer and many spiritual manifestations witnessed by the Saints. Additionally, Dr. Rogers shares his testimony of the Savior, his thoughts about the Restoration, and the gathering of Israel.
Those first moments in the Grove in 1830 led up to this revelatory event--the Kirtland Temple dedication. Dr. Brent Rogers relates how the spiritual building and the physical building of the Kirtland Temple parallel our preparation. Also, the Saints unify to build a magnificent house of the Lord and prepare themselves for the Lord to manifest Himself.
Dr. Robert Millet returns to discuss Doctrine and Covenants, Section 107 and the organization of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the Seventy, and how all members enjoy the benefits of the priesthood on earth. Dr. Millet also shares his testimony of the Savior and what specific gifts for which he prays.
Will the Lord return "like a thief in the night" or "as a woman in travail?" Dr. Robert Millet joins the podcast where we discuss the Second Coming, the signs of the times, strengthening our brothers and sisters, and keeping their names and reputations safe.
Dr. Woodward continues discussing the calling and makeup of Zion’s Camp, corporate blessings, and how the Lord intends to provide for every Saint. Was Zion’s Camp a failure? How the Lord uses sacrifice as a training ground for the temple, Zion, and the Second Coming is discussed.
Does salt have an expiration date? Dr. Scott Woodward explains how and why salt symbolizes eternity and how our covenants make us the "salt of the earth," as we discuss Sections 102 and 103--the instructions regarding membership councils, and the Saints' attempt to redeem Zion. Section 102 will become your favorite meeting minutes as Hank, John, and Dr. Woodward discuss one of the seven parables in the Doctrine and Covenants.
