We invite you to join us for our Palm Sunday march on Sunday, March 24, at 4 pm. It will start on the Lindon View Trailhead of the Murdock Canal Trail (330 N. 780 E, Lindon). We will walk along the trail to the Lindon Temple. Then people will need to walk back to their car.

In this episode Stephen Smoot and Kerry teach about the ways in which Nephi intertwines his writings with Isaiah's. They provide some of the Isaiah context that allows us to get more out of what Nephi was saying. They explore the real meaning of being spoken to out of the dust and what that should mean to us in our day. They flesh out the ways the Bible and the Book of Mormon are designed to work together, according to Nephi's prophecies. They talk about the Gathering of Israel, and the role of the Book of Mormon in that, and the way Nephi uses biblical poetic patterns (like Isaiah) to teach about how universally available God's salvation is. They point out that the Book of Mormon, and especially this part of Nephi's writings, are aimed primarily at the descendants of the Lamanites, and how they and we are all gathered together as we use all of God's writings together.
