This Week - November 17, 2024

Ezra and the Law

Broadcast Date: November 17, 2024
It seems to be a truth that we mortals often do not appreciate what we have until we don’t. May I illustrate? The people of Judah were destroyed as a nation, and carried away captive into Babylon where they remained for some 70 years. Then Cyrus, the King of Persia, moved by the Spirit of the Lord, gave leave for those Jews who so…

Nicole's Miracle

Broadcast Date: November 17, 2024
November the 23rd, 2005: It was the day before Thanksgiving. The morning started as usual, and after family scripture study and prayer, Lauren and Nicole, ages nine and seven respectively, left home to walk to school. Now, usually the sisters walked together, but this morning – for some reason – Lauren lagged about a block behind her…

You Are Special

Broadcast Date: November 17, 2024
Not long ago, I had an experience – oh, it was the experience of a lifetime. I came home late one night, tired and in bad need of some sleep, when my wife said to me rather sweetly, “Can I read you a bedtime story?” You can imagine the look I gave her. I haven’t had one of those in a very long time. But dutifully and obediently I sat…

Adam's Dream

Broadcast Date: November 17, 2024
Not long ago our family was gathered around on a Sunday night taking turns sharing something we had learned. Oh, we heard everything from the profound to the goofy. Then it came to nine-year-old Adam, and he told us of something he had learned when he was about six. It was during family scripture study. A verse was read that told Adam…

I Love You

Broadcast Date: November 17, 2024
Do these words sound familiar? “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28) Those words are true. Not long ago, someone I know had a simple yet profound experience that I would like to share. Like many of you, he has many responsibilities that vary from urgencies to emergencies,…

Last Week

Potomac

Broadcast Date: November 10, 2024
The Savior said, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13)3:59 P.M., January 13, 1982: Air Florida Flight 90 sped down the runway and lifted off into the worst winter storm Washington D.C. had seen in decades. The plane, bound for Tampa, Florida, banked toward the icy Potomac River vibrating violently as it…

Naaman's Miracle

Broadcast Date: November 10, 2024
Question: Why should I read the scriptures if the book is boring? Why should I pray? Nothing ever happens. Why should I go to Church if I don’t get anything out of it? And lastly, why should I serve if no one cares if I do? Well, I don’t think I have a perfect answer, but in the Old Testament there’s a story about a man named Naaman, the Syrian. I think there’s an…

Morning Prayers

Broadcast Date: November 10, 2024
Thanksgiving is coming up; it’s not too far away. I’d like to share a story with you about gratitude. I have concluded that gratitude is good for the soul. Let me illustrate. Not too long ago, my wife and I decided that our youngest daughter, Shaina, needed some extra help with her prayers. She’s 4-years old. One morning as Shaina woke up, my wife asked me to come…

Summer Thunder

Broadcast Date: November 10, 2024
One summer while in Salt Lake City for some meetings, my wife and I decided to go to Temple Square to look around. As we drove, I noticed off to the west a big thunderstorm coming in. We arrived just before it hit. Now, I love thunderstorms. I love to watch them, especially the lightning. Well, when I got there, I wanted to watch that lightning, but I didn’t want to…

In The Americas

Broadcast Date: November 10, 2024
Jesus is the Savior of the world, and not just of the inhabitants of this world, but of worlds without number. It is well known what happened in Jerusalem on the day that He died, but what of elsewhere across the globe among others of His people? While Jesus was hanging on the cross in Jerusalem, it happened that “…about the sixth hour [and] there was darkness over…
