Power of God's Word and Priesthood
October 24, 2024

Listen here: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-naked-apple/episodes/Power-of-Gods-Word-and-Priesthood-e2q2pjd

How powerful is God's word? What is the priesthood? How powerful is that priesthood? We scratch the surface of these questions to try to gain a better understanding of what power we have available to us if we just have the faith to use it. From the creation to today there are countless examples before us demonstrating these two powers that really are synonymous with each other. Examining these leads us to looking at how God's word and priesthood are the key to either our salvation or our destruction depending on if we choose to be on the Lord's side, or just off to the side.

Thanks for all of your support.

The blessings of the Most High will rest upon our tabernacles, and our name will be handed down to future ages; our children will rise up and call us blessed; and generations yet unborn will dwell with peculiar delight upon the scenes that we have passed through, the privations that we have endured, the untiring zeal that we have manifested, the all but insurmountable difficulties that we have overcome in laying the foundation of a work that brought about the glory and blessing which they will realize; a work that God and angels have contemplated with delight for generations past; that fired the souls of the ancient patriarchs and prophets; a work that is destined to bring about the destruction of the powers of darkness, the renovation of the earth, the glory of God, and the salvation of the human family.”

Receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost

Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0ls1lHHfsi2WsHgLQlXnBp?si=_Klf5xy5QdueuCoxN3U2kA

We continue our study in this series by looking at receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. It is such a critical step to salvation and organizing Christ's church that even Paul was sent out to correct some well intended believers and make sure their baptism and receiving the Holy Ghost was done correctly. Today, it is still just as critical but we also understand it is more than that. As the third member of the Godhead, he is referred to by Christ as the Comforter. Our lives are better as we live in a way to be prepared to recieve the promptings and the guidance of the Holy Ghost.

Repentance

Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2P7P5oqEzBiWLce3Cg3vN7?si=SZ6PMJ9sTg-PXMiROwA_TQ

Last week we got some faith. Now what? Now to act on it. One of the first steps in acting on faith is to repent. This week we learn what that means and what it looks like. There are different reasons that may lead someone to repent, but in the end, the goal is to have repentance lead you to align your will with God's. It is more than just saying "sorry," it is turning your mind, heart and life to the path laid out by Christ.

Faith In the Lord Jesus Christ

Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1zPmG1uikXcVzYsi11p8HE?si=4JkNWrcaTUCIXQoct1LXwA

But you gotta have faith! The first principle of the Gospel is Faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ. But what is faith? How do you acquire it? How does it develop? What does it lead to? How is it lost? All of these questions and more as we go from comparing faith to seeds to looking at the power that really is behind faith. We do our best to cram as much into this one as we can because there is so much behind this fundamental principle in Christ's Gospel.

Thanks for your suport!
