Paul’s wonderful views of faith & grace and not so wonderful views on women…LDS Come Follow Me 2023 October 23–29 1 and 2 Timothy; Titus; Philemon “Be Thou an Example of the Believers” Paul has some beautiful teachings on faith and grace. We’ll discuss what it means to have “faith unfeigned” and the two keys Paul gives to avoid a “shipwreck of faith” (or we would say in modern terms, a “faith crisis”). Unfortunately, this letter to Timothy isn’t all good. Paul has some backwards views on women and their role in the church.

Although I don’t believe this verse has anything to do with modesty or chastity, we’ll discuss those topics as well since they are bound to come up in YW and YM this weekend.

Relying on Grace Rather than the Law || And, does Paul condemn homosexuality?LDS Come Follow Me 2023 August 7–13 Romans 1–6 “The Power of God unto Salvation” Paul’s letter to the Romans is one of my favorite books in all of scripture. It’s bursting at the seams with talk of grace, faith, and the gospel (good news), which Paul calls ‘ the power of God unto salvation’. Romans 1 also includes a few verses that are too-often-weaponized against our LGBTQ+ siblings.

He testifies that he believes everything in the law and the prophets. But how do we reconcile that belief with what he teaches that goes AGAINST what is in the Hebrew Bible? Like circumcision, dietary laws, and spending time with Gentiles. I think we find the answer in Romans 14.

These visions and the teaching of Cornelius by Peter lead to the official opening up of the gospel to the gentiles. Peter and Paul discuss the weighty matter of whether the gentile converts should be subject to circumcision, a significant part of their religion–a discussion which has powerful parallels for us today.

Stephen Stoned for Teachings about the Temple & the Law || The Gospel Starts to Spread in Samaria || The Baptism of the Ethiopian EunuchLDS Come Follow Me 2023 July 10–16 Acts 6–9 “What Wilt Thou Have Me to Do?” These chapters in Acts contain one of my favorite stories. First we’ll discuss how members of the Christian movement did the right thing by making changes within the church from the bottom-up, rather than waiting for the apostles to make the change. We’ll meet (and unfortunately say goodbye to) Stephen. But first he teaches powerfully.

We’ll discuss how women were the first to the tomb, the first to see angels, and the first to see the Risen Christ. Jesus (or angels, depending on which gospel account you read) told these women to go and tell the apostles that He was risen.

Teachings from Jesus’ Final Night with the Disciples || The Last Supper || Suffering in the Garden of GethsemaneJune 12–18 Luke 22; John 18 “Not My Will, but Thine, Be Done” In this episode, we’ll discuss some of the major teachings that Jesus shared with His disciples during His last night with them, both in the upper room where they shared the last supper, as well as in the Garden of Gethsemane. I think these are some of Jesus’ most powerful and direct teachings to His disciples.

Jeff starts with his own journey in the Church through “reconstruction and expansion”—which has occurred twice through Jeff's journey, including once within the last few years—and why he remains a committed Latter-day Saint. Jeff then talks about a spiritual impression to learn about queer Latter-day Saints which led to a transforming experience a few years ago in his Ward. I was deeply moved hearing this experience.

Because the Come Follow Me reading also includes some discussion of signs of the second coming, we’ll have a quick discussion about those before jumping into these final three (and extremely POWERFUL) parables that Jesus gives about what will happen when He returns.

We’ll discuss his comments about marriage (which are really just about divorce) as well as his acknowledgement of sexual minorities. We’ll also analyze his response to the rich young ruler regarding his question of how to obtain eternal life and which commandments are required to be kept in order to do so.

The most well known parable in these chapters is likely The Prodigal Son, and it is one of my favorites. But the other 5 parables also have powerful lessons that are important for us to discuss and can even help us understand the Prodigal Son better.

LOVE > Law – The Woman Taken in Adultery, Miraculous Healings, & Powerful TeachingsLDS Come Follow Me April 24–30 John 7–10 “I Am the Good Shepherd” This week we see how Jesus both teaches and enacts the powerful principle that love is always greater than the law. He prioritizes healing over ritual, defending the accused over following the law, and tells us that He is the Good Shepherd.

What it REALLY means to become like a child; PLUS the answer to "What does it take to obtain eternal life?"LDS Come Follow Me April 17-23 Matthew 18; Luke 10 “What Shall I Do to Inherit Eternal Life?” This lesson includes two of my favorite parables--the unmerciful servant and the good samaritan. But I think the questions that draw these teachings out from Jesus Christ help us understand even better what Jesus is teaching. But before we discuss those things, we'll talk about what (in my opinion) it really means to become like a little child.

These are used by Jesus to teach us about the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven. We can learn so much from these stories designed to teach. Unfortunately, some of these parables are often wielded as weapons to tell individuals or groups of people who will and who will not be part of the Kingdom of Heaven, but when we do that we not...2023-03-1945 minLatter-day StonecatchersLatter-day Stonecatchers12.
