The Scripture Study Project

Sections 46-48 - Gifts

Perhaps the most-asked question in the whole Church is, "How do I recognize when the Spirit is speaking to me?" Early members of the Church had the same question and, as we study sections 46-48 this week, wee study the Lord's revelation of true spiritual manifestations or "gifts" He gives to indicate when the Spirit is present. Ask yourself: what "gifts" have I seen or received that evidence God's presence?

Section 45 - Embrace

As Church members started a new life in a new place they had to encounter new and increasing problems. One of those--attacks on their faith from other inhabitants of Kirtland, printed in the newspaper, and spreading almost as quick as the gospel itself--caused many Church members to struggle with their newfound faith. Today, we are no strangers to challenges and criticism, but retaining and embracing our own faith is often no less difficult. Study with us this week as we study what we can know, feel, do, and become to better enable us to embrace our faith in the face of challenge.

Sections 41-44 - Law

Am I obeying the Lord's Laws? That's the question at the heart of our study this week. On the way we make our own (very presumptuous and super unofficial) list of ten commandments from the different laws and instructions the Lord gives to the early saints who have just arrived in Kirtland. We list some of the commands that most resonated with us and invite you to study along and make your own list.

Sections 37-40 - Present

"All things are present before me," says the Lord to the early saints. That phrase is mind-blowing especially when we start to consider its implications. However, for us, all things are not present; we have a past that might weigh on us and a future that might worry us. In this episode we study the past, the present, and the future as we ask ourselves what we should put (and keep) in our past, prioritize in our present, and focus on in our future.

Sections 30-36 - Voice

We all have a voice and, it's evident from the Doctrine & Covenants, that the Lord expects us to use that voice to share the gospel. But how? and where? and why? This week learn from the Lord's instructions to early servants He sends to proclaim the gospel as we examine our own efforts to gather Israel. What is your voice? Study with us this week and begin to find out!

Easter (Replay)

For this week we replay an episode that originally aired two years ago:
On Sunday he entered Jerusalem, on Monday he cleansed the temple, Tuesday and Wednesday he taught and Thursday through Sunday he suffered, died, and resurrected. What do each of these events symbolize in our relationship with Christ. Study this episode with us today in preparation of a daily worship of the Savior this Passion Week.

Section 29 - Gather

When the topic of the Second Coming of Christ comes up, if we're honest, there also come accompanying feelings of anxiety, worry, and even fear. However, when early Church members discussed the topic it filled them with excitement, hope, and motivation to gather themselves and others to Him. In this episode we study a foundational revelation to the early Church which can help us both shift our emotions surrounding the coming of Christ and our desire to be (and help others be) more closely gathered to Him.

Sections 27-28 - Contrary

Joseph was corrected by an angel as he sought to procure wine for the sacrament. Hiram Page was corrected as he sought to receive revelation. Oliver Cowdery was corrected as he sought to serve as a Church leader. Correction, it seems, was vital to the growth of the newly-restored Church. As we seek to grow ourselves we might expect (and hopefully accept) correction from the Lord as well. In this episode we ask the question: What correction(s) would the Lord give me? Study with us as we search for principles to help us figure out where, when, and how those corrections might come.
