May the Lord richly bless you as you seriously study the Book of Mormon!
Wow thanks brother Hilton! You helped me realize how bad I need to set some time apart to be silent and listen.
Yes, even if it means missing a session of the master class!! ;)
@@johnhiltoniii lol no way! I can make time in another area! I’m definitely not willing to sacrifice BoM masterclass time!!! Haha
I was told the Priesthood is what makes our Church different, and I said the Catholic Church and others have priests, but now I know it is priesthood keys that is the difference
I love the personal stories you and your viewers share to show the principles being talked about. They inspire me. Thank you!❤
Your classes help me so much! I take pictures of many quotes you present to us, so i can read them when I need the uplift. The Humble cycle talk is amazing, that you quoted from Elder Kim B Clark, "Are ye stripped of pride?" Thank you for all your prayerful preparation and insights. I'm so grateful to you!!! Cathy Dale
Yes Elder Clark's talk was powerful!
Dear servant unto our Lord, Jesus Christ and to the fellow saints throughput the world, what a blessing you are as are all those who give their love and time sharing in the most interesting way.
A great happening for me is the invitation President Nelson gave in Oct. Conference, repent Celestially, even food can be an addiction. I got myself busy and have lost a lot of weight. President Nelson has had so much influence in every aspect of my spiritual growth.
You Jon Hilton the 111 are such a special servant as is your aunt Lynn. It must have been a total joy growing up where gospel was always a natural conversation.
Thank you for the idea of stillness! I needed that reminder!
I need it too!
very useful to see many forms of the pride cycle and how to avoid it
Thanks Amber!
Excellent lesson -- really loved all these insights. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Stillness is key! Thank you for the reminder 🙏🏾
Absolutely!!
I loved the concepts involved in the humbling cycle as well as devoting time to feel stillness to get closer to God. You inspired me to make some adjustments in my daily routine. Thanks so much brother Hilton!!😊
Yes! I'm working on stillness too!
Thanks bro hilton
Thanks so much for being a part of the class Pauline!
I love your idea of the humble cycle, that’s the cycle. We should really be focusing on, both are good to know, but for me, I need to focus on the humble cycle.
Yes, it's the right cycle to get into!
Much needed
Thank you so much
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing this
Great lesson and valuable insights that make things clear
Thank you!
I look forward to your lessons every week. Thank you for your time. From New Zealand. 💜
Thank you much for joining from New Zealand!
As I was listening to Brother Hilton talk about stillness I thought about Elder Bednar’s talk in April 2024 General Conference. It is titled “Be Still and Know That I Am God”. He highlights the three foundational points of our basic testimony as a result of our being still. They are:
“We can be still and know that God is our Heavenly Father, we are His children, and Jesus Christ is our Savior.”
Armed with this tender knowledge we have a greater capacity to learn and grow. Quite often growth comes from accepting correction from on high and through others.
I must confess that it is far easier to accept course corrections from on high rather than from my fellow humans. I’ve learned to search expressions of irritation (usually from my husband) for those bits of invitation to grow. It is difficult in the moment to NOT return them to him multiplied. Unfortunately, I like to fight. EVERY TIME I sling mud back, we both just end up dirty and cold and unhappy. It’s taken us over 25 years to be more rational in our conflicts but it is well worth the effort!
Thank you, Br. Hilton, for all your preparation in these presentations. You always share great quotes, and this time was no different. I especially loved the quote from Mother Theresa and also from President Hinckley.
Yes, those are powerful quotes...thank you!
Thank you so very much for this insight! As a primary teacher I listen to your master class each week! What a great help they are to me! ❤
Thank you for teaching primary...what a wonderful calling!
Thank you for showing and sharing The Gospel. I so appreciate you. I have grown so much .
Excellent!!! Thank you!!❤❤
I love this! I was listening to the podcast but I love the video more
This was such a good lesson! Thanks bro Hilton. Those pride questions really pierced me to the center 😂.
“inconvenience for you, do you feel annoyed?" Ouch
I hear you!!!
Thank you for talking about the pride cycle. I need to remember that this can happen to me and each of us if we don't reflect on what is going on in our lives.
Yes! We were just talking about that in our family scripture study this morning!
I know that Jesus will see me first when he comes again because I’m special
❤❤❤
I love your insights on the scriptures and your "don't base your testimony on this interesting fact)
Thank you so much for these videos. I use them as part of my preparation for teaching Gospel Doctrine. ❤
I really glad that these are helpful in lesson preparation!
Hi John. Enjoyed your presentation. I was surprized when you suggested that Nephi must have lost his judgement seat rather than just giving it up as Alma had(referenced in the scripture notes) due to the people choosing to water down their laws and Nephi wanting to devote himself wholly to his prophetic ministry.
My rationale is based on the close proximity of Mormon telling us that Nephi gave up the judgment seat with the description that the majority of the people chose wickedly: "Nephi delivered up the judgment-seat to a man whose name was Cezoram. For as their laws and their governments were established by the voice of the people, and they who chose evil were more numerous than they who chose good, therefore they were ripening for destruction, for the laws had become corrupted" (Helaman 5:1-2)
This is actually something I’ve been thinking about doing in the mornings now that my kids are teenagers. I’ve really been feeling like I can be a better wife and mother if I prepare myself with a “Holy Hour” or at least 30 minutes. I almost feel like we won’t survive all the wickedness with out personal revelation. Just my thoughts. 😊
I love these thoughts...thank you!
We look forward every week to listen and learn 😂
I love your sense of humor!😅
Thank you!!
You were awesome at Education Week too, keep it up!
Thanks for your kind words!
Looking at Samuel coming up, how do we discern between fear mongering and prophecy in modern times?
That's a great question! Let's see if we can discuss that in our Helaman 13-16 class!
As you noted, i winder if we caught ourselves soon enough instead of our pride cycle being a circle ours could become an oval by not sinking so low. Also instead of spending equal time going through our cycle we slow way down in the humility portion and then as we see ourself go to the lower part in pride speed up to get the top again.
These are valuable questions to consider!
Perhaps the sin of pride is synonymous with the sin of comparison to others. If so, wouldn't that make humility not comparing ourselves to others in our lack, but the absence of comparison at all? Except to our own growth/non-growth, of course.
Great insight!
“Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man... It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest. Once the element of competition is gone, pride is gone.”
― C.S. Lewis,
Don't be a "dwindler"... Very profound!
I love that thought from Tami!
I think Nephi II was thinking of 2 Nephi chapter 5: once the Nephites separated from the Lamanites, they prospered, built a temple, and "lived after the manner of happiness." Sounds like they had a Zion-like period in the early years of the City of Nephi.
You definitely could be right!
👍
I listen to Sissel Be Still . Not sure of spelling
Yes!! That's a great message and song!
Brother Hilton, I would love to hear your thoughts on the Heartland model (Rod Meldrum, DNA Evidence of the Book of Mormon) if you have a moment. I am very interested in your perspective.
I hope that we can do a special class on geography in the future. I really believe this:

@@johnhiltoniii thank you!
@@johnhiltoniii I haven't seen that page before. Thank you!
I enjoy your channel very much, thank you! I am trying to find the article from Elder Kim B Clark in the gospel library, and have had no luck finding it. Could you tell me where I could fine this?
It's a devotional he gave...Here's a link!
@@johnhiltoniii thank you very much!
Maybe someone already mentioned this but didn't Nephi wish he lived in another time? Don't we all basically do that?
I think it is common to do that, and probably we are better off focusing on our current blessings and opportunities, rather than wishing we lived in a different time or place!
@@johnhiltoniii I'm so grateful you share your knowledge and testimony, thank you!
From the audience’s view….LOL. Very last clip John used his finger to counterclockwise twirl around the pride cycle.
Haha, good catch!
