"Stand Forever" Ep. 33 | The Truth—The Church of Jesus Christ Part I | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge
Scripture CentralShow Notes
Is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints the kingdom of God on earth?The Church could have lost its way and divine approval since it was organized in 1830. It wouldn’t be the first time; in fact, it is the pattern of history. Jesus said, “By their fruits ye shall know them.” So, let’s look at some of the fruits. Christ is the center, the chief cornerstone of His Church. Priesthood authority is evidence of the kingdom of God on earth. Beginning with Joseph Smith and down to the present-day, God has called prophets to guide us as He has always done before.One of the glorious truths of the restoration is that the heavens are open, and God speaks not only to prophets as He has done throughout the ages, but to all His children who ask, knock, and seek. Revelation is both a sign of the truth and the means to know it.Is it worth the effort to find out? No endeavor could be more important, nor could more hang on a single question.Apostasy has always toppled the kingdom of God on earth, but not this time. This time the kingdom of God will stand forever against all odds and opposition. This time it will not fail.

In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores Jeremiah 31–38 and the book of Lamentations, taking us into some of the darkest chapters in the Old Testament: the final days and devastating fall of Judah. Lynne examines the stories of the last five kings of Judah and the political, spiritual, and personal choices that led to the destruction of Jerusalem and the collapse of the house of Judah. Through Jeremiah’s eyes, we see the horrors of conquest, famine, violence, captivity, and the heartbreaking suffering of a people watching their world disappear.Yet even amid destruction, Jeremiah’s message contains some of Scripture’s most powerful promises of hope and restoration. Lynne explores the covenant themes surrounding Israel, Judah, Jerusalem, mothers, daughters, wives, and the imagery of God’s relationship with His people. Lamentations gives voice to the grief of a nation—and Jeremiah reminds us that even after judgment, the Lord has not abandoned His covenant people. What can these ancient stories teach us about faith, loss, repentance, and the hope of redemption through Jesus Christ?#Jeremiah #Lamentations #OldTestament #BibleStudy #WomenInScripture #HandmaidensHaremsAndHeroines #LynneHiltonWilson #Jerusalem #Judah #JesusChrist #ScriptureCentral
Because of sin, all die spiritually, cut off from the presence of God. Jesus Christ alone bridges that awful gap. Because of Him you can be born again, you can receive God’s greatest gifts: the gift of His Spirit and the gift of His life, by the gift of His Son. Jesus Christ is the Life.
There are two critical dimensions to Christ as the Life. He is the Resurrection (victory over physical death) and the Life (victory over spiritual death).
