SCRIPTURE STUDY
7 Short Videos to Kick Off Your Book of Mormon Come Follow Me Study
The Come Follow Me curriculum for this year is covering the Book of Mormon. Fortunately, Book of Mormon Central has produced a massive amount of content that can help individuals dive deeper into the Book of Mormon. This content includes over 500 videos which are featured on our YouTube channel and included in our scripture app called ScripturePlus.
This week we are studying the introductory pages to the Book of Mormon. Among all the amazing resources out there, we have seven videos to help you and your family get started.
Title Page
We teamed up with artist Katie Payne to create a richly illustrated and beautifully animated video of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. It gives an overview of the plates from which the book was translated, showing how they were handed down from Mormon to his son Moroni and eventually to Joseph Smith. The wording of the video’s narration comes mainly from the Book of Mormon’s Title Page.
Introduction
This video takes the text of the Introduction of the Book of Mormon and brings it to life with relevant images and video animation. It is perfect for sharing with family members or those who are just beginning to learn about the Book of Mormon.
Joseph Smith Testimony
Another video based on portions of the text from the Testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith.
Come Follow Me Lesson Videos
We have begun a new video series with BYU instructors Taylor Halverson and Tyler Griffin. In these two videos, they review the Title Page, Introduction, and the testimonies of the Three and Eight Witnesses.
Evidence Videos
Throughout the last few years, Book of Mormon Central has created several evidence videos on our second YouTube channel, called BMC Studios. The following two videos focus on the plates of the Book of Mormon and their miraculous translation.
ANTHONY JANSEN VAN SALLEE, 1607-1676 by Hazel Van Dyke Roberts, PH.D. I'm using the historical writing of Hazel Roberts, as she did a lot of research on it. Anthony was the son of the Pirate King, Jan Jansen, told about in the last entry, # 154. This is about an interesting part of early New England History. New Amsterdam became the city New York when the English conquered the Dutch in 1664. Anthony Jansen Van Salee was a unique, interesting, and important figure in the early history of New Amsterdam, He has been found to be the most unusual and interesting figure in the New Amsterdam records . Contentious and obviously a nuisance to them, he was treated by the authorities with the respect due to a person of importance. It is speculated that Anthony’s ...
Subject: Palmyra Temple--Rest of the Story T We rarely know all the details of a completed temple. Much goes on in the months and years prior to its completion. The Palmyra, NY temple is no exception and the story is one of great vision, insight and the Lord's intervention . The story starts years before, perhaps years before anyone thought to build a temple here. In 1907 Apostle George Albert Smith purchased a portion of the original Smith farm for $16,000. In 1915 he sold it to the Church for $1.00 and President Joseph F. Smith called Bro Willard Bean and wife Rebecca on a 5 year mission to manage the farm and be the first stationary missionaries in the area since the Saints removed to Ohio in 1830. They served here for 25 years! making numerous improvements to the farm, softening the attitudes of the local residents, helping the Church to acquire more of the farm, and even the hill we now call the Hill C...
This is an inspiring article! Between my husband Wayne and I, we had 19 direct ancestors who knew the Prophet Joseph Smith. Their names are: Hyrum Dayton, Permelia Bundy, Hyrum Miles Dayton, Samuel Miles Sr., Prudence Marks, Thomas Colborn, Sarah Bower, Samuel Miles Jr., Hannah Marinda Colborn, Haden Wells Church, Sarah Ann Arterbury, Gideon Allen, Rachel Hand, John Lowe Butler, Caroline Farozine Skeen, Philo Allen, Deliverance Wilson, Lovina Fairchild, George Deliverance Wilson, and Sarah Adeline Butler. The last, Sarah Adeline was just a small child, but met him. The rest of those named were adults, very honorable and faithful. Many other ancestors who joined the Church in the 1840's and 1850's didn't make it to Nauvoo to meet the Prophet, but also sacrificed to come to join the Saints! One, John Lowe Butler, was a bodyguard to the Prophet, and he rode with the group to Carthage, and then had to return home. They all loved him, an...
