Our Advocate

by Autumn Dickson

I feel like there are many ways to illustrate the atonement of Jesus Christ in order to add layers to our understanding. I don’t think one verse, one way of explaining it, one parable can do it justice. It’s so universal and so individual at the same time. Applying it and having it change us can be so nuanced. Studying layer upon layer can give us a more full picture of the Savior’s powerful sacrifice.

This section holds one of my favorite verses, and it teaches us another layer about His atonement. I’ve actually shared this verse before in a different Easter message in a different year, but I taught it from a completely different angle so I’m going to use it again.

The Ultimate Rescue: How the Atonement, Prophetic Leadership, and Covenant Living Work Together to Save

by

Finding Safety and Strength Through Christ’s Atonement, Prophetic Order, and Consecrated Service

Have you ever felt caught in a storm—not just in the weather, but in life itself? Trials, grief, injustice, confusion, or even the weight of others’ harmful choices can leave us stranded, unsure where to turn.

In his powerful General Conference address, The Atonement of Jesus Christ Provides the Ultimate Rescue, Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles testifies that Jesus Christ stands ready to rescue each of us through His infinite Atonement. But Elder Cook’s message doesn’t stop there. Drawing on the moving history of the Willie and Martin handcart companies, he reminds us that prophetic leadership and covenant discipleship are vital parts of the Lord’s rescue plan.

As Seemeth Him Good

by Autumn Dickson

Sidney Rigdon has become an increasingly significant character in the formation of the young church, and this week we get to read a revelation that was directed towards him. Sidney was originally trained as a tanner, but he left that profession to preach because he dearly loved the word of God. He worked with the Baptists for some time before splitting with them over disagreements. He moved to Ohio with his family and was elected preacher over a congregation there. Sidney Rigdon dearly wanted a restoration of Christ’s church; he recognized that the church he was looking for wasn’t on the earth at the time, but he faithfully tried to pattern his congregation after what he learned about in the New Testament.

Carrying the Message of Easter into Every Sabbath

What does it mean to truly worship—not just attend, sing, or pray, but offer your whole soul?

In his stirring General Conference address, “Worship”, Elder D. Todd Christofferson invites us to reexamine how we honor God. He outlines four sacred dimensions of worship: our actions, attitudes, loyalties, and our emulation of the Father and the Son. [Read more…] about Worship That Transforms: Becoming One Through Christ

An Act of Faith

by Autumn Dickson

This week, we run into a big announcement for the Saints.

Doctrine and Covenants 37:3-4

3 And again, a commandment I give unto the church, that it is expedient in me that they should assemble together at the Ohio, against the time that my servant Oliver Cowdery shall return unto them.

4 Behold, here is wisdom, and let every man choose for himself until I come. Even so. Amen.

The Lord asks His Saints, many of whom are gathered in New York, to pack up and move to Ohio. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Doctrine and Covenants 37–40 – Autumn Dickson

Anchoring our Identity and Eternity in Jesus Christ

What does it really mean to receive a gift—not just open it, but internalize it, live it, and let it define your very identity?

In his deeply moving General Conference message, “Receive His Gift,” Elder Patrick Kearon invites us to pause and reflect on the most profound of all gifts: the perfect, holy Son of God, sent by our Heavenly Father for us. Elder Kearon explores what it means to truly receive this divine gift—not passively, but intentionally—and how embracing this gift reframes our identity as children of God and anchors us in the realities of Christ’s atonement and resurrection.

They Fell Back

by Autumn Dickson

This week is all about Christ and His atonement. The Come Follow Me manual recommends studying Luke 22 to reflect on the sacrifice that the Savior made in the Garden of Gethsemane. Instead, I want to read the same experience except I want to share it from the book of John. [Read more…] about Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Easter – Autumn Dickson

Confidence in the Covenant: A Gospel of Love for the Least Likely

by

Letting General Conference Move Us From Receiving to Reaching

Have you ever wondered why some people seem so confident in God’s love—while you’re just hoping you haven’t let Him down too much?

In a world where many wrestle with feelings of unworthiness and question their standing before God, Elder Karl D. Hirst offers a deeply personal and healing reminder in God’s Favourite: you are already completely loved. You don’t have to earn it. You can’t break it. And no matter how broken you feel, God’s love still reaches you. [Read more…] about Confidence in the Covenant: A Gospel of Love for the Least Likely
