CFM The Book of Mormon: Alma Chapter 25 & General Conference Goals

LDSGirlDoes Come Follow Me: Early morning study and reflection on The Book of Mormon. The Lord verified His words because of their obedience.
Name of the Week: My Fortress
Hymn of the Week: Lead Me to Eternal Life
In the same vein of our New Testament challenge we're going to carry on with likening the scriptures to us, finding the passages that speak to us and creating statements that will help us incorporate those verses into our daily lives. We're also going to focus on Christ-like attributes. Each month focuses on a specific attribute of Christ such as hope, faith, charity, long-suffering. Each month that will be the focus of the scripture study to find those attributes of Christ in the scripture or how to develop them. On the weeks where there's not enough scripture study to make it possible to have enough meat each day to study we'll be supplementing in conference talks that have to do with the Christ-like attribute of the month. I have selected three talks per attribute but sometimes there will be more than 3 talks per month. I've left those to your choosing. You can choose a talk based on the Christ-like attribute of that month or whatever you're feeling you would like to supplement. If you'd like a free digital of the reading schedule I'm using feel free to email me at [e-mail]
🎉 General Conference Goals 🎉
During General Conference I like to set goals for the next 6 months. In the April Conference it was impressed upon me that I need to strengthen my relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, improve my prayers, to learn my covenants and to "live inside them." To achieve these goals I've set a plan that I believe Heavenly Father has guided me towards.
⭐First Goals: Is to study the names of Christ that I have found while doing my personal scripture study. Each Sunday I will randomly pick from a list I have created, study all I can about it, and pray that name back to Him. If it's "Deliverer", for example then I will call Jesus and Heavenly Father "My Deliverer" in my prayers and look for ways He/They are that to me each day.
⭐ Second Goal: Is to pray a hymn. One day while listening to hymns I was like "That's a prayer. I wish I could pray like that." So, I've gone through the hymnal and TH-cam subscriber suggestions and picked 24 hymns I would love to model my prayers after. I will be listening to these hymns, praying them and finding ways to incorporate their meanings into my prayer life.
⭐Third Goal: Is to go learn my covenants and "live inside them." In the most basic sense I know what the covenants I've made with Heavenly Father are but in Conference I felt the inspiration to really learn what they are and to incorporate those principles more deliberately in my life. I'll start on this one once I get a handle on the other two.
If you would like to join me in these goals I would be so honored! If you want the lists I've created you can email me and I can send you a digital copy. Thank you for joining me on my journey!

Hello Wednesday! Half way through the week, woo hoo! The verse I liked for obedience was verse 15. I feel this verse also works for faith. They kept the Law of Moses because it brought them closer to Christ and gave them continual hope that Christ will return. They held onto what they knew was true without receiving all the answers yet. This reminds me of a GC talk that Elder Holland gave once about staying in the boat. Staying in the boat to Zion takes faith.

I like verse 17 too. You’re so right, they had success and they had the joy from that success because of their obedience. There’s a lesson for me!

Verse 16 Now they did not suppose that salvation came by the law of Moses; but the law of Moses did serve to strengthen their faith in Christ; and thus they did retain a hope through faith, unto eternal salvation, relying upon the spirit of prophecy, which spake of those things to come. I like that it explains here that it's not the Law of Moses that saves but the Law points to Christ. They keep the law to have hope and increased faith in Christ and the prophecy would come at a later time. We too try to keep the laws and our commandments that increase our hope and faith. We look forward to the Second Coming of Christ. ❤😊❤

Regarding the upcoming lesson, I would say don’t overthink it, but study the talk to the best of your ability and allow the spirit to guide. It has to come from you and there is someone who needs to hear the message that you have to give. Also since the talk is about testimonies, including your heartfelt testimony on the Savior would probably be a good idea also.❤

Maybe you could have a discussion about how their lives are different than they would be because of their testimony of Jesus. Maybe ask for people to give examples of how their testimony of Jesus has made a difference in their life?
