Camelview Book of Mormon Project: Mosiah 26-29

Project Overview

The purpose of this project is to bring you closer to Christ through the Book of Mormon. Our Stake Presidency has challenged us to read the Book of Mormon in its entirety before the end of the year while paying special attention to Christ and His mission in the Plan of Salvation. We will be reading the Book of Mormon from August 1-December 31, and our ward will be focusing on the references to Christ throughout the Book of Mormon. As you read we invite you to mark in Red each reference to the Savior. You will be amazed how often He is mentioned.
It is our hope that you accept this challenge with an open heart and know that as you complete the Book of Mormon, you will have a stronger testimony of the importance of this book and its account and witness of Jesus Christ. Remember that through prayer and study you will be able to obtain a stronger testimony as well as a desire to learn more. We hope you will join us as we feast upon the words of Christ together and grow spiritually through this experience.

Mosiah 26-29

During this period of Book of Mormon history, the prophet Alma faced significant challenges in the Church. Many of the rising generation were not converted to the gospel and would not believe the words of the prophets. Alma the Younger and the four sons of King Mosiah were among those who did not believe, and they went about seeking to destroy the Church of God. Through fervent prayer, Alma received direction from the Lord on how to proceed regarding those who dissented from the Church. Throughout this lesson, you can help students see the change that comes through repentance and conversion. Students will see that people who are converted give faithful service throughout their lives.

When Alma awakens after the three days of coma, he doesn't turn to the people and say "I know it is true. I have seen an angel, and because of that I know that everything my father has taught is true. Maybe you haven't seen an angel, but I have and because of that I know."
Alma's words are:
"I have repented of my sins, and have been redeemed of the Lord." (Mosiah 27:24)
"After wading through much tribulation, repenting night unto death, the Lord in mercy hath seen fit to snatch me out of an everlasting burning, and I am born of God." (Mosiah 27:28)
Alma became converted only after he sought for repentance and received it through the power of the Atonement.; October 3, 2011 at 5:34 AM
