This week's episode dives into the healing power of forgiveness and love. Join with Taylor and Tyler as they unpack these powerful sections of scripture.

__________________________________________________
0:00 Joseph Smith has returned to Kirtland. It was a time of discouragement when nothing is getting done well
1:45 D&C 64: 1-5 When there is a lot to be concerned with, we can turn to God to receive direction and focus. In these verses we see the compassion, forgiveness, and mercy of God.
5:12 God is pleased with Joseph even though he makes errors. There are some who left the church because of Joseph’s weakness. God forgives us of our errors. We need to forgive each other.
12:47 Verses 6-8 Some criticized Joseph without cause. This continues today. We deny the power of the Atonement when we hold others hostage for past mistakes. Disciples of old were sorely chastened for not forgiving one another.
17:11 Verses 9-10 We are required to forgive all men but it may take time to work through the process. We become more like Christ as we move toward the goal of forgiving others.
22:02 Sins of terrible abuse hurt deeply. The victim needs the healing, reassuring love of the Savior. The power of Jesus Christ’s infinite atonement is available to victims of abuse.
23:01 Forgive and forget is not scriptural or doctrinal. Forgiveness is an act of faith. We may have many moments to act in faith as memories of the pain come back to the surface.
26:20 Word study: forgive means completely give away. Trespass means to step over a border. What pain are you willing to completely give away? It is also an act of faith to forgive ourselves.
31:04 Verses 23-24 “Now it is called today”. “Today” is now until the 2nd Coming. We demonstrate our covenant that “He will be our God and we will be His people” through sacrifice and obedience.
37:21 Verses 33-34 “Be not weary in well doing” Whether we are asked to forgive, pay tithing, or make other sacrifices, all invitations are opportunities to become more consecrated to God.
38:20 Tyler shares a missionary story about a gift of bread.
46:05 D&C 65. Joseph is working on the translation of the Bible and comes to The Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6. Section 65 is designated as a prayer with several Biblical cross references (CR). Verse 1 – CR with Isaiah 40: 1-3 (a voice of comfort and preparing for the way of the Lord); Verse 2 – CR with Daniel 2 (the stone cut out of the mountain without hands); Verse 3 – CR with Matthew 25 (make ready for the Bridegroom); Verse 7 – CR with Matthew 6:13 (The Lord’s Prayer).
52:55 D&C 66. Revelation to William McClellin. Joseph’s ability to provide revelation for William’s private questions left a deep impression on his soul.
54:55 What were William McClellin’s questions? The following likely questions have been proposed (1) How does this Church fit into the purposes of God in the world? And how does it relate to other religions? See verse 2. (2) What is my spiritual standing? See verse 3. (3) What is my role in the church? See verses 5-8; (4) Will I be able to have the Savior’s healing power in my life? See verse 9. (5) How can I escape the temptations of adultery and other sins that have burdened me? See verses 9,10,12.
59:29 Conclusion: Invitation to “be not weary in well doing for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great”. Try a little harder to be more like Jesus today. Timestamps courtesy of Tammy Hulse

Thank you for another great lesson. I love your saying that the church of Jesus Christ and the gospel of Jesus Christ are not broken. We are truly blessed to have repentance and forgiveness. I love the picture found in CFM lesson for this week. So beautiful.

Thank you for sharing your testimonies and experiences with us. I was able to play your missionary experience, Brother Tyler, to my children last night. It was so touching and moving to first listen and feel the quiet of our living room as they were so attentive to the story. But what made it all worth it was to see and hear how this story helped them understand why it is important to offer HF a heart and willing mind. My 10 year old daughter said: "They knew that they would receive more blessings if they gave the bread to the missionaries. They had faith." Thank you once again for all your stories and experiences... they truly inspire my family and make spiritual impressions in my children's hearts. Gracias :-)

Oh man I can't thank you enough for telling the story about the bread? Made me cry my eyes out thank you so much for sharing it him teaching that lesson to you and you teaching the lesson to him and you teaching it to us has reached further than that man could probably ever have a mansion to with such a small kind act and if any of us are feeling like we don't have the opportunity to do as much as we want or what we are doing just isn't good enough and we need to be doing more for others we need to stop and think that those little things that we are doing that we can do every day could reach further and wider than we ever imagined

I so appreciate that they are very doctrinally oriented. I find so many other commentaries far more interested in looking smart or being funny. I appreciate their talents and their sharing of them.

Tyler, thank you so much for sharing your experience with the loaf of bread while you were a missionary. As I listened to the story about this great man of faith and his sacrifice, I tried to picture that scene. Then, my thoughts changed to that of our Savior standing before me, bruised, marred from just being beaten and in a weakened state, offering me a piece of bread, bidding me to eat, just before He was lifted up on the cross. In the midst of His suffering, His thoughts were for me. I felt as if I were there and yes, the thought of taking it from Him struck me deeply. Greater than the sorrow I felt for Him suffering was an overwhelming depth of gratitude beyond understanding, that I mattered that much to Him, the bread of life. Your message brought remembrance to me that while His atonement is infinite, it is also extremely personal. Thank you for your story and testimony. I am spiritually fed each week as I watch your and Taylor's presentations. Today, I have been changed.

This is awesome because I recently had a coworker who is a returned missionary only a few days ago had criticized the gospel from the prophets & general authoriities, The Book of Mormon, etc. and has placed finding all truth in math & science. Although I have a testimony of the gospel it is a challenge to know how to counter his objections right off hand. the Topics Tyler & Brother Halverson have given me the insight to overcome the mental block when he confronts me.
