Come Follow Me - Galatians (part 1): Schoolmaster to Bring Us unto Christ

[@beckywright7906]

Thank you for being the schoolmaster that brings us understanding of the ultimate school master.

[@WegottaLovett]

Beautifully said! I never understood the New Testament before this year. So grateful to Bro Halvorsen.

[@gracepattison5559]

I am behind as usual but I am still here with you. I’m so grateful that through your kindness, dedication, the love for teaching and your knowledge of the things you are teaching plus testimony and above all your love for the gospel and our Saviour, you are helping me grow and better prepare for our Saviours return. I thank Heavenly Father for you! May you and your family be blessed always.

[@commoncents5191]

I love how Bro Halverson brings the New Testament to life. ❤

[@Cyberangel189]

Ah! Now I get it. Paul, with his wonderful gobbledegook, made clear; and it is amazing. Thank you Jared. 🤗

[@mercanbrack]

Thank you Brother for showing us how to consecrate ourselves to the Lord. You are a great example to us all.

[@noskalborg723]

I took a moment after your discourse on Christ being the singular seed of Abraham (which was particularly impactful after having gone to the temple yesterday). I took a moment to thank God for that beautiful doctrinal connection. I thanked him for putting it there. And he 😊😢[we need a happy crying emoji that doesn't look like laughing]... he said "i put it in there for YOU." I retorted "it couldn't be for me alone". To which God said "yes, but i made sure it was there for you and those like you who would appreciate it." Then the concluding thought: "There are things in the gospel for everyone. That all may find joy therein." God doesn't want any of us feeling left out. 😃😊

[@amandadangerfieldpiano]

Beautiful comment (and experience!).

[@kimgroscost7839]

I ve been a member of the Church my whole life, and I graduated BYU, which means I minored in religion, and.....I never knew grace was part of our religion until your deep dive into these scriptures. I thought it was just part of evangelism/born again. I feel so much better understanding grace/ faith now . Thank u for explaining all this Finally. Better late than never, and, it's just really important at this time in my life. So extra Tk u for this lesson in particular. It's Life changing.

Grateful for you brother Halverson!

So grateful for your love brother Halverson!❤

[@ericadodge927]

I love you Brother Halvorsen and have learned soo much from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and testimony❣

[@Melybelle]

I’m the one who told you that I was in the MTC with you.😊 I said I was sort of bugged by you then. That was my pride. I could tell that you were soooo excited to be there. You were full of joy, and enthusiasm!! I didn’t understand it at that time, but I did once I got out into the field! I also want you to know how grateful I am to be able to study the scriptures each week with somebody who loves the Lord, and the scriptures as much as you do. You are a wonderful example to us all!! Thank you for your faithfulness, and diligence and knowledge. Thank you for teaching us about the true love of Christ. I sure hope that my kids can take classes from you!

[@jenniferharris981]

This lesson is life changing for me. I'm in awe. Words aren't enough to thank you Brother Halverson.

[@lujeanjensen3315]

Thanks so much for your teaching about Galatians and Paul!

[@harmonywoodrome9911]

Thank you very much😍👏

[@janethm4031]

Brother Halverson, this lesson may me think about my early days as a convert. I joined the church when l was a very strong Catholic member. The day l was baptized l was supposed to tell the missionaries l couldnt see them anymore and instead l joined the church. I had zero idea l was going to get baptized that day. I am laughing because l remember that even though l was now part of the church, l would still do things that Catholics do. It was a process for me. I would still say my regular memorized prayers and do the cross sign (me persignaba. l still love the Catholic church and many things they do such as : dar la paz y el Dia de Palmas. I learned to love my Savior as a Catholic, so l am grateful for what l learned as a Catholic. I also remember being recently married and telling my husband l wanted to keep going to the singles ward together. LOL Its hard to move on when you love things so much. So l understand the early Jews. Again, thanks again to you and your family for your sacrifice of time. I also tell people l know are going to BYU, that they need to take your classes! I cant wait for my daughter to go there someday. I will start praying for that now!

[@disciplesofjesuschrist2026]

I loved listening while alone in the back of the cathedrals, to the Latin masses and requiems that were sung. Many in the congregation I perceived, had a love for Jesus Christ and were good and sincere people, just missing the parts about ordinances, doctrine and authority. Most of my early friends were Roman Catholic. My mother was Seventh Day Adventist. My mom also loved music so she attended many Pentecostal churches for the music. We lived about 20 miles from the home birthplace of Ellen G White and about two hours drive to Joseph Smiths birthplace in Sharon Vermont. I learned at a very young age how people could not discern between emotion and Spirit promptings and many were on the path driven by sincere emotions but lacking the Spirit of conviction and true doctrinal understanding and witness that comes through the Holy Ghost. Most churches today have band instruments to stoke of the spirit of fervor and emotions while drowning out the still small voice. My father a convert to the church in 1929 at the age of 25 and in that same year became blind yet lived to be 100. The 75 years of blindness did not diminish the light of the gospel, although blind in the flesh, acquired (spiritual eyes) like unto Urim and Thummim and tutored myself, his son in the ways of truth and life everlasting. For I was blind but he guided in the light.

[@curtiste3235]

That is amazing! Thank you for sharing... Very touching. I, too, have very fond feelings towards devoted Catholics.

[@NovaM.Warren-um1ni]

Thank you for your kindness and generosity of having more time to give others. Thank you for your insight into the Scriptures and word's Lost my phone, and gather the information that I am able to make better note's on the phone and and the book for studying Blessings to you and your family members❤️🙏

[@stacirogers3662]

Thank you, Brother Halverson. Once again, your explanation is making the scriptures less intimidating and crystal clear. I am grateful for the experiences you share with us from your mission and before your mission. It was a beautiful, sanctifying experience with you and our Heavenly Father, opening your mission call. Please don't spread yourself too thin. President Nelson stated a few years ago to take our vitamin pills and get our rest and now I know why. May God bless you and your family!

[@cmichaelflynn9232]

Faith in Jesus Christ is the fulcrum that balances grace and works.

So good, Jared! I never thought of these teachings in this way before! Thank you so much!❤

[@ritautupo2859]

You are my Schoolmaster😍. Thank you so much🙏💖

[@pinecone7562]

A lot of so called Christians would say that the restored gospel is a different gospel and thus demonize what is the most Christian people I've ever experienced in my life! Love one another. Praise God!

[@TheSusi1211]

I’m a bit behind LOL because I love to ponder all I learn - which has been so profound! Just love your reflections on Paul and especially bringing all thoughts into captivity (last lesson)…thank you ALWAYS for your great sacrifice for us!

[@jeffreyw.johnson8741]

I am an institute teacher teaching the New Testament. I listen intensely for every video. Thx. Comically I had to stop listening after the first 5 verses in Galatians 3. I just couldn’t listen to anymore law vs grace. I had a ittle laugh and moved to the next video. I couldn’t teach the students another lesson of law & grace, as it’s not a current need. But still fascinating.

[@lesley4215]

I love how Paul teaches them that before there was Jewish law, there was the Abrahamic covenant.

[@voicesvoicesandmorevoices3051]

Thank you Brother Halverson for your teachings of the scriptures and gospel truths.

[@noskalborg723]

thank you for explaining the proper response to the anathema accusations. I pointed to Moses in The Pearl of Great Price and said we know all about that and agree with you that the Devil transforms himself and pretends to both angel and even God. But that his light is darkness unto us.

[@terijohnston1460]

Happy to hear you refer to Stephen Robinson's book - that is a fantastic resource for anyone who interacts with Evangelicals regularly.❤

One sentence I loved was soon after 59:00 when you said "It's all the same work, being orchestrated by the same Divine Director."

[@rconger24]

21:00. Been waiting for this one! Ch1 :6-9. 25:40 " Anathemently ."

[@suzannaylor653]

One comment about raising the bar of ministering - when teaching something new (that's built on prior knowledge), it is going to be hard and a lot of the students are going to fall short. How do you overcome this? By sticking to it and practicing regularly. As we do that, the new and difficult will eventually turn into the old and easy. At that point, we will be introduced to another new thing 😜

[@susiuche1609]

thanks your

[@AlanJones-cu1nw]

1:58:50 Proving contrary. I like that he used the word "in" instead of "through". Once we have faith, we can find life and salvation by living "in" obedience to the commandments but not "through" obeying the commandments

[@amandadangerfieldpiano]

From about 25:00 to 32:00 : that's why I came to this video. To hear you discuss why The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not "another gospel." :-)

Well heck, I’d drive to Provo for your class. I wonder if they accept non-students…

[@tancyjohnson3833]

So grateful for your lessons. I wonder what questions Paul had for James the brother of Jesus when he visited with him.

[@socorrozamarripa9567]

Well, I guess there will be no sleep for me, lols, and yes, you are a busy bee, lols. I just love these lessons, and I promote these videos, lols. I don't get ministered period, I keep up with my ladies, I just don't get visited by the Priesthood, and I am not going to beg either, I like the old way lols, sometimes I wonder if Heavenly Father is testing us on this calling of ministering. I call it the whoville every one is trying to get things done when we had Home Teaching and Visiting Teaching lols. Not sure this makes sense.

[@julieoarnoldus9013]

To the sister who will not ask for help. Pray with all your heart & the lord will get the message out! I KNOW this works!! Try it!

[@disciplesofjesuschrist2026]

It is of a truth, that if those who in past times did not "Home Teach", the name change to "Ministering" , in most cases will not alter their attitudes even though they have the capability to change, hereunto the Lord will say, inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these ye have done it unto me.

@@freespirit5105 The Saviour is your greatest friend and ministers to you, so when times of solitude and eventide hours fall, remember He looks over all and though that silent empty chair creaks no more from a loving friend, in your room He will send, His Comforter, whose assurances you can depend.

While yes, the Savior is our greatest friend, He also usually works through other people and has given very clear expectations that we care for each other.

I do treat people differently in public settings than in private settings. I try to treat money 💰 differently in private than in public. That may make me odd, but I don't think it is wise to be too casual about everything and every one in public. Fortunately, many people I know well believe they should protect privacy and be have differently in public to protect themselves and their fellow children of God. PETER was honoring the guests from Jeeusalem with greater hospitality than he honored the residents of the community. He was being PETER.

[@danak8782]

@@rconger24but why?

[@MandMe91]

Fact: No one alive today was redeemed from the curse of the law. Heres why: The law was only given to old Covenant Israel and has not existed for nearly two thousand years. You were never "under the works of the law" or "under the curse of the law". You were not "kept under the law". It was never your "schoolmaster". Why not? It doesn't exist. Three questions that debunk modern Christianity: *Were you ever part of the Old Covenant that Moses mediated? *Were you born under and subject to the Mosaic law? *Did Christ redeem you from the curse of the law that Paul is referring to in Galatians 3?

[@jeffreyw.johnson8741]

Chapter 3 here in Galatians is not a chapter of import. We have been bludgeon with the law & grace already. Just another chptr for Jewish folks. It’s not something we deal with. Not your fault.

[@Unshaken]

I can definitely see where you're coming from as far as the immediate context is concerned. but scripture was never meant to be confined to immediate context. As long as Latter-day Saints continue to struggle with toxic perfectionism and scrupulosity, this will continue to be something we deal with! I'd say that makes this a chapter of import!
