→ Time Stamps: (00:00) An overview of these chapters.(05:40) Limhi’s story.(07:10) Remembering past experiences with God invites revelation.(09:09) There remaineth an effectual struggle to be made. Personal change brings deliverance in the Lord’s timing.(13:35) The people of Limhi are not immediately delivered.(16:05) The Lord sent Ammon.(19:02) We all experience different forms of bondage.(21:05) Not everyone has the same journey in Mosiah, but they all make it home. (24:55) Two different reasons for why Abinadi was killed are presented. The historical answer and the spiritual answer can be complicated at times. History is messy.(30:13) Limhi quotes a text we don’t have, perhaps something from the Brass Plates. Limhi reads, “If my people sow filthiness, they shall reap the east wind.”(34:15) The 24 gold plates of the Jaredites are found by Limhi. Prophets can see through dark conspiracies.(36:43) Wisdom is typically personified as a woman.(37:31) Zeniff sees the good in his enemies. A major antidote to pride is to see that other people have good qualities and motives.(40:51) Zeniff is overzealous and makes an arrangement with King Laman who deceives him. Don’t be fooled by “building blindness.”(47:01) The Lord is merciful in our weakness. Zeniff’s son Noah is given charge of the people.(49:37) How the ancients portrayed their enemies helps us understand how the Nephites viewed the Lamanites.(53:28) “Lamanite blindness” is feeling wronged, getting wroth, and then wanting to hurt others. Love and gospel truths are antidotes to blindness.

We will be called the children of Christ. (20:30) A new name.(25:25) Following light and truth will eventually lead all seekers to Jesus. There is no other way. The Lord will judge us based on what light and knowledge we have. (31:20) Sometimes sin is the result of seeking something good in the wrong way. One definition of religion is to realign our views with the Lord’s truth.(32:47) Aslan the lion illustrates how there is no other way.

→ Time Stamps: (00:00) Remembering the greatness of God and showing Him gratitude helps us avoid pride, sin, and pain.(04:08) The setting of King Benjamin’s address was most likely the Fall Festival (Sukkot), a feast outlined in the Pentateuch.(11:10) King Benjamin encourages us to serve one another.(18:34 ) A series of chiastic parallels in Mosiah 2.17-19.(20:20) The pride cycle.

The apex focuses on Jesus Christ.(31:01) Abindadi teaches how Jesus is both the Father and the Son.(32:52) Jesus is the only way. Trials and suffering are part of the plan.(34:17) Multiple journeys and flashbacks contribute to the complexity of the text of Mosiah. (35:25) Zeniff sees the good in others. Lamanite blindness is explained.(36:05) The adversary stirs us up to anger so he can control us.(38:59) Don’t underestimate the power of your words.(39:24) Peer pressure, change your tactics, and God is mighty to deliver.(40:50) The Hebrew word Mosiah.(48:09) Jesus is the prevention, the cure, and the healing that comes when we seek Him.
