Week 11

Alma 58 - Heleman 9
Page 356-390

And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.
Helaman 5:12

The experiences of sons of Helaman named Nephi and Lehi are amazing.  The miracles surrounding them were the catalyst for the conversion of many Lamanites to the gospel so much so that the Lamanites were largely more rightous, as the Nephites had become overrun by the secret combinations brought forth by the band of the Gadianton robbers.

Week 10

Alma 45-58
Pages 321-355

Title of Liberty

"In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children."                                   Alma 46:12


Behold, whosoever will maintain this title upon the land, let them come forth in the strength of the Lord, and enter into a covenant that they will maintain their rights, and their religion, that the Lord God may bless them.
 And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words, behold, the people came running together with their armor girded about their loins, rending their garments in token, or as a covenant, that they would not forsake the Lord their God; or, in other words, if they should transgress the commandments of God, or fall into transgression, and be ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ, the Lord should rend them even as they had rent their garments.
Alma 46:21
