thanks so much and I love your classes
Brother Jared...until the clarity provided by this beautifully taught lesson, I realized that I hadn’t received the Lords mercy, by laying my struggle with sin at His feet...and accepting His gift. Once again, Thank you for allowing the Spirit guide you as you teach...I love you....This is a day of pure freedom and peace...and you have been a bright part of it....Keep up the good work😇. David....your brother in the gospel
Brother Jared we appreciate you sharing your teaching skills in the scriptures . I wasn't aware you teaching these lessons three and four years ago. I feel like I have been left out of scripture study for at least a couple years. I searched everyday for your lessons and I'm glad they last an hour or so. Alma sure brings out a good point in parenting and repentance.
The glorious thing about technology … you can go back and listen. 😊
Powerful lesson!!!
I am a reformed Baptist watching this because a friend of mine who is a Latter Day Saint sent this to me. You seem like a man I can sit and have a conversation over dinner regarding theology. :-)
I would love that! My 8 years in Tennessee, and my time at Divinity School, left me with a great love for my evangelical brothers and sisters. I have a lot of "holy envy" for your focus on the grace of Christ. I imagine you'd have some important insights to share, and though we probably wouldn't agree on everything, I hope we would see some beautiful commonalities!
41:56 I loved that cute story. As we get more experienced with repenting (because we will sin that much), it gets easier to turn to God more quickly after messing up, rather than avoiding Him. I know now that God is so eager to forgive us even before we make amends and go through that repentance, from the moment of calling on Him. Look what happened with Alma, the instant he called on God, God was there, before Alma could make amends or even say he was sorry.
Thank you so much for the analogy with the scar. That just put everything in perspective for me. For a very long time I have thought I was not forgiven because I can still remember every horrible thing that I've ever committed. While I don't want to recommit them and I feel absolute sorrow from those past transgressions. I better understand now that I have to remember them so I don't recommit them. And like the wound there was pain but then when it heals up there's just a memory of the scar I think that's such a beautiful analogy and this is why I love your teaching! Thank you
Thank you very much for explaining the scriptures every week. I am not yet a member of the Church, but I study the scriptures and the explanations help me a lot. I live in the Netherlands.
Thank you for watching, and for having a mind and heart open to learn new things. My brother was a missionary in the Netherlands in the early 2000s and absolutely loved the beauty of your country and the goodness of the people there. May God bless you in your search for truth!
Wow welcome to unshaken I served my mission in Denmark I absolutely love it and all the surrounding countries. Good luck with your studies if you have any questions you can always ask them here. May God bless you and yours!
How awesome that you can learn from here. I have about 10 Dutch friends that live in several places outside of Amsterdam. I have been teaching them about the Gospel from California and we usually see each other 2 or three times a year. They are awesome people and I am grateful they are open to learning about my way of life in the Gospel.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! And I thank my Heavenly Father for blessing us everyday with lessons from Come Follow Me.
You are so welcome. The scriptures are an endless treasure!
Love your lessons each week! And thank you so much for all the parenting comments! It’s been on my mind a lot too! Glad we have a lesson this week for this
You are so welcome! Parenting is so important--and yet so difficult--we need all the help we can get!
Another great lesson, with wonderful insight into the experience of Alma and how it relates to us....me. Thank you.
I'm so grateful the Spirit made it personal to you! That's when scripture study truly becomes life changing.
A beautiful lesson as I make The Sabbath a delight. Thank You for this lesson. Very Spiritual.
I'm grateful it was a blessing to you. Thanks for letting me study the scriptures with you!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful lesson on Jesus Christ
It's always a blessing to be able to speak of the Savior. Thank you for letting me share!
Thank you for your wonderful lessons! You have taught me to search the scriptures more deeply.
I'm so glad to hear that! The scriptures are deserving of our best efforts. Thank you for watching!
I am enjoying studying the scriptures with you!! Great insights!
I'm so glad! Thanks for letting me be a part of your scripture study!
We also had a miracle baby! We too went through infertility. After 21 years of marriage at age 42, I had my son in 2000. Luis, served his mission at West Salt Lake City and returned after 15 months prematurely due to COVID-19. I’m very proud of him for serving the Lord.
What a blessing! Our Father is definitely a God of miracles. Thank you for sharing!
It took my daughter 13 years. Her sweet child starts Kindergarten this year. What a joy!
Thank you, Jared, for a beautiful lesson. I love your added insight to these scriptures that touch me so deeply.
You are so welcome. I'm grateful we can learn together!
Thank you so much for including a link to your reading chart.
You're welcome! I wish I'd thought of that when I was filming so I could have mentioned that I would include a link. I'm still figuring this all out! :)
Thank you so much for the hours you put in to these videos every week! I only recently discovered these videos. I love how much you teach in depth each verse and overall themes. Your videos are truly a treasure. I especially love what you taught about why we keep the commandments to become like him because so many rely wholly on mercy and miss the beauty of obedience and aligning our will to God's.
Thank you so much for this beautiful comment. I agree that balancing our need for mercy with the Lord's desire for obedience (for our sake!) is challenging. And yet that balance is what allows us to move forward! Thanks again for sharing!
I love your lessons, but would also love your reading chart to complete all of the scriptures in one year.
Me too!
Me three
You got it! I just added a link in the video description so you can download the chart. Thanks for asking!
@@Unshaken Thank you so much for sharing both your wisdom, knowledge and testimony in your lessons. They have changed my understanding and love of the scriptures.
@@jillestes2928 Thank you so much for sharing that. Helping people deepen their love for God's word has always been my goal--everything good then follows!
I can see you have the love of the scriptures on your face.. big happy smile and eyes...how can we help teenagers love the words of God? it all about parenting... building strong testimonies and living in the gospel principles at home... however, how can parents be strong since families are crumpling and struggling.
Excellent questions--these are definitely things we need to ponder. I agree that it all starts at home, so that even when children stray or struggle, they'll know where the destination is once they decide on a return trip. Thank you for sharing!
I was led from Africa to EU by my Father's hand. I know that he allowed this so that I could be adopted by his covenant people. He performed great miracles so that I would always remember this. Thank you for your extensive presentation and beautiful family. I love your wife and baby. greetings from Belgium
I wrote this with google translation ; )
What a beautiful comment. Thank you for sharing. It's amazing to see Heavenly Father's hand in our lives, gently shepherding us homeward. I'm grateful to have a new friend in Belgium!
It's good to hear from Belgium and other countries. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Thank you very much, your teaching so detail for each verse, I’ve learned so much from you 👏😍
Glad to hear it! It's hard to leave stones unturned when there seem to be gems underneath every one!
O wow.... 3 best things!!. Your point about D & C 132.
The equivalents with the 12 steps.
And the chiasma stuff.
Fantastic....thank you so much. Ive been in recovery for over 10 years. So big thanks to your wife for her work as well.
Congratulations on the last decade! I'm so impressed with your resolve, determination, and success with the Lord's help. And thanks for sharing what you found meaningful from the lesson!
I love your lessons 💓
Thanks
You are welcome!
First time listening and watching today. Subscribed and will look forward to next weeks lesson. These lessons help me prepare to teach my seminary class. I have grown considerably this past year since we started doing Come Follow Me. You are a good teacher. I am watching from Stonewall, La. USA.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Welcome aboard! Seminary teachers make such a difference, so I'm glad to help in any way. Thanks for letting me be a part of your scripture study!
So grateful for these explanations while studying Come Follow Me. It makes up for currently not being allowed to share (attend) our limited Sacrament meetings due to my age. The pandemic is allowing me to really do some studying and even to Journal in my journaling scriptures to an extent that is very satisfying. Thank you!
I'm so glad these have been a blessing to you, especially in the absence of being able to gather physically with fellow saints. I think we're all learning important things under these unexpected circumstances! Thanks for letting me be a part of your scripture study!
Thank you for your lessons. Especially tying Alma 36 with the Addiction program. I am in the program for an eating addiction and had never made the connection between the two. I am going to share it with my group next week. Thanks again Brother Halverson.
I love your lessons. I too would like the scripture chart.
I'm so glad you found it helpeful! And my hat's off to you for tackling that challenge. It's often in the chains that we really come to know our Deliverer.
Thank you! I included a link to the scripture chart in the video description. Happy feasting!
Just had a thought. Perhaps Cheribum are like those temple workers at the front desk who look at our temple recommends. When we are there to join them, we are admitted to the work. If we tried to force our way inside, we would be stopped.
I love this thought! Loving fellow-workers rather than impassive gate-keepers. The Lord wants us all to come inside--but to do it in the right way! Thanks for sharing!
I found your page about a month ago and have really enjoyed listening to these each week. I do a come follow me video of my own that is not seen by very many people but I wondered if you would mind me sharing your example of childbirth and Alma 36 in my own video I really love that connection. We lost a child this year to a stillbirth and I had many of these same thoughts and ideas and I love the connection to Alma 36. Thanks again
I'm glad you found the lesson to be helpful. And of course, feel free to share anything you find of value. I'm sorry for the heartache you and your wife have endured, and pray the Spirit's peace and comfort is helping as it's needest most.
Muchas gracias, Hermano Halverson ! Yo aprendi mucho. Mike Evans (de PRSJM)
De nada, hermano! Siempre es un privilegio servir otro Boriqua! ;)
I would love to see your reading chart too! I always wondered how to study each book together.
You're not alone in asking for it! So I added a link in the video description above. I hope that helps!
You have mentioned many times that we don’t earn our way to salvation or exaltation and I certainly agree. I’ve been intrigued for a while how the scriptures so often speak of inheriting eternal life. Who typically obtains an inheritance? Those who are “in the family” and in good standing. So the covenant to take upon ourselves the name of Christ is crucial along with continual effort to develop/maintain those righteous reflexes. Heaven will be full of repenters. Any thoughts?
I love this comment! "Inheritance" is such a perfect way to describe things. I've often come back to the "marriage" analogy that so often appears in scripture (the Parable of the 10 Virgins, for example), and "inheritance" similarly draws upon that relational aspect of exaltation. Thank you so much for sharing this!
These are great thank you! Ever thought of doing these in podcast form with just audio?
I totally need to! I just haven't made the time to do it yet (that's the one commodity I seem to never have enough of!). But thanks for the nudge in that direction!
Faith in each other
Would you be willing to share your reading chart of the standard works..I feel the same way about studying and with love to glean from your effort
Found it! Thank you for your willingness to share.
I'm glad you found it! Sorry to keep you waiting but I'm having trouble keeping up with everything!
Nice!!! The Life of Christ.... I was like!!! I know that book...
Such a beautiful book! So eloquent. Tough to do justice to such a subject, but that one gets as close as anything I've seen!
I want your chart!!! Please give us access!!! Sooo cool!
Thanks for asking! I just added a link to download it in the video description. Happy feasting!
Kenn Are your wonderful lessons archived and available fo us for further study!
I'm looking for your yearly scripture reading chart. Can you tell me where to find it? Thanks!
You're not alone in asking for it! So I added a link in the video description above. I hope that helps!
Thank you. I just found your videos. I appreciate that you take the time to produce them.
Can I get your study chart?
You bet! I included a link in the video description for this lesson. Happy feasting!
I think of the sword with the cherebim as God's Spirit or the Holy Ghost (as opposed to God's Word--who is Christ, which if we have made it that far, we should have become one with Christ and God & the Holy Ghost) The Holy Ghost helps to purify and can not dwell in unclean beings, so the Holy Ghost would dwell in the being who approaches the Tree of Life.
I love your lesson. But I am more interested in your children. I wonder if you have a child called Enoch. What had Jared taught Enoch and shaped his path to walk with God for 300 hundred years in the bible? Maybe Jared baptized Enoch as his son in the name of Jesus Christ.
I've wondered the same thing! I wish we knew more about the Jared in the Bible!
