| 0:00.0 | Hello, my friends. Welcome to another Follow Him Favorites. My name is Hank Smith. I'm |
| 0:06.0 | here with the wonderful John, by the way. Hi, John. Hi, Hank. John, you know the drill. |
| 0:11.4 | Follow Him Favorites. We take a question from this week's Come Follow Me Lesson and attempt |
| 0:16.1 | to answer it. The question for this week, John, comes from the story of Peter in Acts |
| 0:21.3 | chapter 10, where Peter changes what you would say a policy in the church that you can't |
| 0:27.7 | teach Gentiles. And then he receives revelation and he says, we're going to change that policy. |
| 0:34.7 | What do you think that means for our church, for the idea of a prophet continuing revelation? |
| 0:40.9 | Another way to ask this might be, what does the Lord mean when he calls this church a living |

| 1:17.0 | the thing. And so what changed the world did? And we adjusted the Lord adjusted it through |
| 1:22.8 | his prophets. Now, we've coined that phrase, the church is true. John, we have taken that |
| 1:27.8 | and run with it. And it's ours, right? The church is true. But I think that comes from |
| 1:32.2 | doctrine, Kevin and section one where the Lord says the church is true and living and |
| 1:36.0 | living. I think we leave that part out, maybe to our detriment. Article of faith number |
| 1:40.4 | nine says we believe in all that God has revealed, all that he does now reveal. We believe |
