This page contains scriptures, articles, and talks concerning the great atoning sacrifice of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and what it means for us. These talks were given to me from my Stake President meant to be a thirty day reading of these talks. I have added additional talks that I found relevant during my time away from the Church. The following instructions and content were then provided.

Elder Bruce R. McConkie taught that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is the most important event that has ever occurred and the foundation of the gospel – yet is “the least understood of all our revealed truths.” In the April 2014 General Conference, Elder David A. Bednar said, “I invite you to study, pray, ponder, and strive to learn more about the Savior’s Atonement.”

These talks will help you increase your faith in and testimony of the redeeming and enabling power of the Atonement of Christ. As you study, prayerfully consider the following questions:

  1. What did I learn about the doctrine of the Atonement?
  2. What promised blessings result from applying the Atonement?
  3. As a result of what you learned, what will you do to more fully apply the Atonement in your life
