Doctrine and Covenants 14-17 : CFM Lesson

 

Final of the three videos of me teaching this week's CFM lessons.  This final one covers the revelations sought by David, John and Peter Whitmer Jr and the calling of the three witnesses to the Book of Mormon.

The still photo above comes from a trailer for a NEW movie about the 3 witnesses which will be released to theaters this summer, 2021.  You can view the trailer and learn more about the movie at https://witnessesfilm.com/

As usual, the links to videos, Ensign articles and podcasts that I refer to are in the comment section below the YouTube video of the lesson and here, below.
