The Importance of Prophets and Apostles
Prophets and apostles play a crucial role in guiding and communicating with God's children. Their teachings, as shared during general conference, fulfill the purposes outlined by Paul in the book of Ephesians. Through their messages, they provide guidance and direction, helping individuals comprehend and follow God's will. The profound impact of their talks can be seen in personal experiences, with specific examples given such as Elder Bednar's talk on the Tender Mercies of the Lord and President Nelson's message on the need for peacemakers. Prophets and apostles, along with other church leaders, have influenced and changed lives, particularly through their teachings on virtue and staying on the covenant path.
Preparing for Conference and Seeking Answers
In anticipation of general conference, it is valuable to reflect on previous talks that have significantly impacted one's life, serving as a reminder of the importance and impact of prophets and apostles. By making a list of conference talks that have changed their lives, listeners can consider how these messages have directed them towards the Savior and His atonement. It is also suggested that before conference, individuals proactively identify their own questions and attentively listen during the sessions, as personal answers can often be found. The podcast episode further encourages listeners to explore the comprehensive discussion on Ephesians with Dr. Matthew Richardson and promises more insightful content in future episodes of 'Follow Him.'
