We often use the Bible to support the Book of Mormon, but what if it’s actually the other way around? Doctrine and Covenants 20 offers a fascinating perspective on how the Book of Mormon helps confirm biblical truth. Plus, discover what an early Church teacher asked the Prophet Joseph Smith in his own home—his response may surprise you!
This week we are studying Doctrine and Covenants sections 20-22. This portion of the record contains specific instructions for Joseph Smith regarding how he is to establish the church in the latter days. We’ll talk about how the Lord is willing to help us achieve larger goals by giving us specific instruction, but we have to be ready to receive the revelation. We’ll discuss how hope is a key factor in achieving lasting change. We’ll also talk about how personal weakness is part of the plan and how it helps us become more humble.
