0:00.0 | Hello there. My name is Tyler Griffin and this is Scripture Study Insights by Scripture Central. |
0:06.0 | Today, Mormon chapters 1 through 6. |
0:10.0 | And for those of you who are familiar with the Book of Mormon, this particular set of chapters, |
0:18.0 | these six chapters in that littler book called the Book of Mormon, they are not |
0:25.2 | the happiest part of the history of the Nephites and Lamanites. This is the sad ending to the |
0:35.1 | geopolitical group, that Nephite nation. |
0:39.9 | And there's not a lot of positive and happy moments in these six chapters, |

2:14.9 | to see the light becomes, and the more closely connected to the Lord, he becomes, |
2:21.7 | even as everything around him is sinking in destruction and despair. Now, you and I don't live |
2:31.2 | in a time like Mormon where everything is headed to destruction. We live in the |
2:38.5 | dispensation of the fullness of times when the gospel of Jesus Christ is going to continue to |
2:44.5 | roll forward. The kingdom is going to spread and they're going to be incredible miracles. But that doesn't mean that |
