Helaman 5a – Rock of our Redeemer
Nephi and Lehi were brought up to have solid faith in Jesus Christ, to make Him their rock they build upon. What can we do to make Christ the rock of our foundation?
Alma 39 – Salvation from Sin
This begins Alma’s talk to his son, Corianton, who had grievously sinned. Alma’s message to him is to repent…and be saved. There is hope for even the vilest sinner. How do I secure that hope in my own life?
Alma 35 – Side with Mercy
The poor of the Zoramites are cast out of their land and become refugees. The Nephite’s accept them and care for them. Do we side on Mercy’s or justice’s side with the poor and needy?

We reap what we sow. This is shown very vividly in this chapter as the narrator connects the dots from this point back into the past. What seeds are you planting? And what will they reap?

This chapter is one full of hope. Alma the younger had willfully rebelled against God and his father, yet his father never gave up praying for him, and neither did God.

What am I becoming right now?
