An in-depth study of D&C 60-63, revelations given as various Church members are traveling back to Kirtland from Missouri. A daylight vision of the destroyer upon the waters troubles the Saints, who are taught how to navigate more than the river they happened to be traveling on. How do we traverse the currents of culture? How do we find solid "gospel ground" to build upon? These revelation offer powerful clues.

An in-depth study of D&C 58-59, a revelation laying out the "welcome mat" to the Saints who first began gathering to Zion, and a revelation offering a paradigm shift on commandments, and specifically speaking of the Sabbath Day.
