You're not going to be here. Alma has a hidden message in this week's readings. You are all familiar with the concept he teaches of having a particle of faith and planting a seed and nurturing it that it may grow.

But what is that seed to grow into?

What is the metaphor he wants us to understand?

As we read and study this week's material, you might think Alma the Younger is one of Lehi's students.

He takes a chapter right out of the vision of the tree of life.

And if you miss that part of the lesson, you miss one of the greatest teachings in the scriptures.

Let's explore further.

Hello dear readers, this is Meridian magazine's Come Follow Me

Podcast and we are Scott and Maureen Proctor.

We're so happy to be with you today and discuss the sacred truths

of Alma's chapters 32 through 35.

You remember from last week that Alma and his extraordinary missionary team went to teach the pure gospel of Jesus Christ to the apostate Zoromites.

They were not having much success until a large group of the poor who had been cast out of the synagogues

and places of worship came to Alma and they asked, we have no place to worship our God and behold what shall we do?

This situation of the four Zoramites had truly humbled them.

They were now in a place where they could hear the word of God.

Alma asked them,

behold, I say into you, do ye suppose that ye cannot worship God,

save it be in your synagogues only?

And Alma continued in his teachings, and moreover, I would ask, do ye suppose that ye must not

worship God only once in a week?

This certainly sounds like, come follow me teachings, doesn't it?
