I've come around in terms of Alma 5. It was never a particularly meaningful chapter to me. I kind of associated it with (in my view) kitschy or overly sentimental music. But preparing the lesson notes changed my view quite a bit. It really is a great sermon. I think my basic problem was I had a hard time seeing the big picture. I would get a little lost in the rapid far onslaught of the questions. Taking time to understand the structure and different parts was very rewarding for me.
I small plug. I prepped my lesson using Grant Hardy's
Book of Mormon: A Reader's Edition. I really like it (

I might be alone, but I really like paragraphs and modern typographic conventions. Anyways, probably not everyone will find it helpful but I find it quite useful.
