Come Follow Me - Mosiah 25-28 (Extended Version): "Born of God"

An extended, verse-by-verse study of Mosiah 25-28, which recounts the consolidation of Limhi's and Alma's people with the people of Mosiah in the land of Zarahemla, as well as the conversion of Alma the Younger and the Sons of Mosiah. This lesson focuses bringing the scriptures to life, choosing between "my fathers" and "the fathers," the significance of the Church, the rising generation, "faith seeking understanding," separation of Church and State, Church discipline, confession, forgiveness, the angel's message to Alma the Younger, and the visit's aftermath. Join Jared Halverson for your weekly Come Follow Me study of the Book of Mormon!

Can I just say how stoked I was when I saw “extended” on the title and then 2:29:06 on the length… it was this wonderful sense of nostalgia and excitement, especially knowing it would be covering Alma the younger’s conversion. Thank you Brother Halverson for all your time and dedication. The Spirit that comes from your words strengthen me each day.

"Believe in a generous God, and that's what you'll have." I KNOW that this is true. I bear my wholehearted testimony in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank you for those words.

Being set apart as the elders quorum president today and to come home to learn the lessons of this section of the BofM! Sweet🙏❤️

Awesome - everyone has the power to change! Sometimes we may need to let them..

[@amberpelton5679]

I loved this video. Yes, people can change. I am happy to say that I have had a mighty change of heart. I pray that I can be an example to others in my family who have not. ❤

[@beckywright7906]

When you really get to know the characters of the book of Mormon you can really feel for them and with them. I loved this!

[@kennethlabrum5397]

Thank you Brother Halverson....for I could not understand, but for the last many years you have helped me to understand, and brought the scriptures alive in my life. Love you brother

[@Jonnyb56]

Thank you Bro Halverson. I feel spiritually busted and recharged. I always take away so many great and wonderful thoughts and feelings. I am so grateful and thankful for Savior and Father that love me enough to forgive me every time I sin. It must be exhausting for them but I truly know they will never give up on me and will always be there for me. Thanks again

[@riverbeauty3]

THANK YOU for reposting the older video so I didn't have to go hunt for it ❤

22:10 Also, those priests of Noah stole food and animals from their families (in addition to abandoning them). For me, I always cry when king Mosiah Ben Benjamin and Alma the Elder die - no matter how often I read of their passing.

Hermano Halverson, gracias, muchas gracias por sus lecciones. Ellas me inspiran, agrandan mi conocimiento pero mejor aun, despiertan en mi el sincero deseo de escudriñar la escrituras más profundamente.

[@caram.5520]

Hope you are well, Brother Halverson! Thanks so much- what an great extension gratefully received!!! Be blessed and stay healthy- you truly give much of your light and knowledge and time, greetings from Austria

[@motherearth9290]

Jared, I have often wondered why we dont seem to care as much about our seed or our "bretheren" of future generations at all as much as the writers of BOM do...Especially not to the point of tears (when contemplating their captivity or destruction) and it makes me wonder why? So glad you bring up this point, it validates the things Im thinking about and also the experience im having as a person born in this generation. I am grieved about the fact that we have come so far from the sense of connection we should be having with each other as human beings, and especially family members! I think that the more we say yes to tech. And no to each other, the worse this will get and I am on a mission to influence people away from computers and back toward each other before the Savior returns...but thanks for your refreshing perspective, its good to know that someone else thinks that we should be thinking about these things. 🙏🙂✌️

Thank you Brother Halverson ❤️

[@susiuche1609]

Thanks

[@jerikeeley1361]

Honest question: could it be possible that Limhi was too young to join Alma in the beginning? Is it possible that the Lord placed him in a position for, "such a time as this" so that it was less of a regretful situation for him personally and more of the Lord putting him where he needed to be when it was time for him to lead? Do we know how old he was?

[@latterdaycovenantliving]

Is this the “original” with cleaned up audio?! I really struggled listening to these when I first found Bro Hal this is so much better

My hero always was Captain Moroni ,but when I read about Teancum being killed it makes me very sad . He was SO brave.

Beautiful lesson

[@FreeSpirit5150]

What a joyful day! It's the Lord's day AND an extra long episode?? How did we get so lucky??😊🩷

[@tedtaysom]

They are his old videos

[@FreeSpirit5150]

@@tedtaysom yeah, I realized that after I started watching it. 😳🙄😭

[@TheCrochetaddict]

That's cool. I've been going back and watching his old videos first, then the new ones. It seemed like a lot of repetition. Until I realized, I was watching the old video, new video, then repeated old video. ​@@tedtaysom

[@riverbeauty3]

I think that there were those children of Amulon and his "priestly" brethren who were abandoned after their flight with Noah... but also some children who fled with Alma after Amulon became their ruler who's mothers were the Lamanite daughters.

[@yaroslavet]

Baptising "for future sins" ...than Catholics can say the same thing...

[@Unshaken]

I know what you mean, and there's some truth there, but the difference is the exercise of agency. An 8-year-old can choose, a newborn cannot.

[@riverbeauty3]

Oh, I would bet it was more reading than we got in Mormon's abridged version! What I wouldn't give to have the unabridged version of these precious scriptures. 😊 Kind of like this video being the unabridged version of Bro Hal

[@novawarren5089]

Oh,so many have and I have cried,laughed, jumped, and yes others have asked What are you reading? And I enjoy explaining. Thank you for sharing 8:38

[@Frankincensedjb123]

The greatest blessing is forgiveness since in this life we can never be perfect, and as long as we remain humble, we can repent

[@nanelf8002]

Love the extended version!! Thanl you so much for your time and effort to teach us!

[@michellehansen5790]

Awesome lesson! I learned so much! ❤ Thank you!

[@shanemoore4033]

Can you tell me more about the talk elder Maxwell gave on “powerful spirits sent to dysfunctional families” so can find it? Thank you!

[@alwaysblessed2010]

Yes! Can someone link to this quote?

[@robinkartchner1337]

Relating to your video at about 2:23:21, is not the Lord promising King Mosiah that (as a consequence of a mission to the Lamanites) his four sons would be exalted ("eternal life")? Is not this promise a calling and election made sure? If not this, I wonder why the Lord would be promising the sons of Mosiah just general salvation. Will not all who do not commit the unpardonable sin be saved (receive salvation)? I balk at the general use of the words "salvation" and "eternal life/exaltation" as exact synonyms. They are not interchangeable words. Salvation means an inheritance in any kingdom of glory. Exaltation means an inheritance in the highest degree of the celestial kingdom. I also do not think that every -- or almost every -- time the words "saved" or "salvation" are used in the scriptures they mean "exaltation". Elder Bruce R. McConkie apparently believed that. I do not. If all who do not commit the unpardonable sin are "saved" in a kingdom of glory, why are the sons of Mosiah so anxious to try and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Lamanites? Aren't the Lamanites already saved (in at least the telestial kingdom) anyway -- since very few will commit the unpardonable sin? Another way of asking the same thing: if obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ is not required for salvation in any kingdom of glory, why the great anxiety over the Lamanites?

This is 2nd of my favorites 😍 I listen to some videos for sleep and pure enjoyment I cry,laughed ❤️ Because of the different groups come together finally getting to see each other after the trials and they became very lovely members of The Church ⛪️ ❤️ 😊 Brother Jared Halverson I started listening to you in 2020 It's now June 2024 You have great many stories and I know that you're classes just lobby for having your classroom 😀 20:47 20:48

The intricacies of the work of the Lord are really plentiful, varied, diverse, and precise as is required towards a comprehensive understanding that will help refine, change, shape, & become polished towards the full measure of our creation- unto the measure of the stature of Christ like unto a perfect man! Thank u very much!
