Come Follow Me Reading: Hosea 7-9

Come Follow Me Reading: Hosea 7-9

https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/hosea/7?lang=eng

Israel is reproved for her many sins—Ephraim is mixed among the people.

Vs 11-16 We the people of the Lord's true church have cause to repent, to minister and seek to recover,and to turn to the Lord with pure intent and full purpose of heart. Too many are already lost. We need to commit to being part of the gathering, on both sides of the veil. It is the calling of Ephraim.

https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/hosea/8?lang=eng

Both Israel and Judah have forsaken the Lord—The Lord has written the great things of His law to Ephraim.

Vs 9-14 We as a Church and also as the People should look to God and put our trust in Him, and not sell ourselves to other nations.

https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/hosea/9?lang=eng

The people of Israel are taken into captivity for their sins—Ephraim will be a wanderer among the nations.

This is a very sad and solemn chapter. I hope this is all past and not future. Ephraim has a great work to do in this latter-day, and I pray that we do not mess it up.

Come Follow Me 17: Exodus 18-20

Come Follow Me Lesson 17: Exodus 18-20 Introduction: Are you noticing the abundance of miracles in your own life? These are “undeniable manifestations of the Lord’s matchless power, love, and mercy” for you! The Lord wants to give us greater treasures than providing for our daily physical needs. He want everyone to be blessed through entering into the covenant with Him. He wants us to be blessed with Priesthood power and to become His “peculiar treasure,” and a “holy nation”. Exodus 19:5–6 In our day, the invitation to cooffme unto Christ and enter into the covenant is extended to all people, first through baptism, and later through further endowments in the temple. We become His covenant people when weobey His voice indeed, and keep His covenant” Exodus 19:5 . He extends His mercy to all those that love Him and keep his commandments. Exodus 20:6 Personal Study: Exodus 18 How Do I Help Carry the Burden? The Lord has entrusted me with certain responsibilities. Ho...

Come Follow Me 51

Come Follow Me Lesson 51 “I Have Loved You, Saith the Lord” Introduction: Malachi means My messenger. What messages did the Lord give Malachi have for you? What messages does he have for the world? Do you trust that the Lord loves you even in adversity? You should. “I have loved you,” the Lord told His people through the prophet Malachi. But the Israelites, who had suffered generations of affliction and captivity, asked the Lord, “Wherein hast thou loved us?” ( Malachi 1:2 ). After all Israel had been through, they may have wondered whether the history of ancient Israel is really a story of God’s love for His covenant people. What evidences have you seen in the Old Testament of God’s love for His people, and for you? When the sons of Jacob mistreated their brother Joseph, the Lord still prepared a way to save them from famine (see  Genesis 45:4–8 ). When Israel murmured in the wilderness, God fed them with manna (see  Exodus 16:1–4 ). Even when Israel abandoned Hi...
