Church Services This Week at Sullivan Hollow Second Ward Weber Heights Stake Ogden Utah August 8-8-2010

MoronI 10:7
 7 And ye may aknow that he is, by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore I would exhort you that ye deny not the power of God; for he worketh by power, baccording to the faith of the children of men, the same today and tomorrow, and forever.

Doctrine and Covenants 82:3
 3 For of him unto whom amuch is bgiven much is crequired; and he who dsins against the greater elight shall freceive the greater gcondemnation.

Just like Spiderman says, “With great power comes great responsibility.”

A covenant is a two way promise.

One can remember the kingdoms of heaven by envisioning a sea turtle.
C ter tel (celestial, terrestrial, telestial).

The priesthood is not for us individually, but for all those around each of us.

Quote: President Howard W. Hunter encouraged: "Let us be a temple-attending people. Attend the temple as frequently as personal circumstances allow. Keep a picture of a temple in your home that your children may see it. Teach them about the purposes of the house of the Lord. Have them plan from their earliest years to go there and to remain worthy of that blessing. "If proximity to a temple does not allow frequent attendance, gather in the history of your family and prepare the names for the sacred ordinances performed only in the temple. This family research is essential to the work of the temples, and blessings surely will come to those who do that work" (in Conference Report, Oct. 1994, 8; or Ensign, Nov. 1994, 8).

Just as King Hezekiah diverted the water of the spring of Gihon to the pool of Siloam and denying the Assyrians the water they needed to survive, so had the people being separated from the temple made them spiritually sick and weak.

John 4:14
 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never athirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water bspringing up into ceverlasting life.

Doctrine and Covenants 63:23
 23 But unto him that keepeth my commandments I will give the amysteries of my kingdom, and the same shall be in him a well of living bwater, cspringing up unto everlasting life.

Doctrine and Covenants 11:21
 21 Seek not to adeclare my word, but first seek to bobtain my cword, and then shall your tongue be loosed; then, if you desire, you shall have my dSpirit and my word, yea, the power of God unto the econvincing of men.

Doctrine and Covenants 88:81
 81 Behold, I sent you out to atestify and warn the people, and it becometh every man who hath been warned to bwarn his neighbor.

President Henry B. Eyring, “Come unto Christ”, Ensign March 2008
“Every member of the Church, upon accepting the baptismal covenant, becomes a disciple who has promised to stand as a witness of Jesus Christ at all times in any place he or she may be in.2 The purpose of our witness is to invite people to come unto Him.

“All of us should be intensely interested in learning how to issue that invitation effectively. We know from experience that some will not respond. Only a few responded when the Savior Himself offered this invitation during His mortal ministry. But great was His joy in those who recognized His voice. And great has been our joy when those we have invited have come unto Him.”

Doctrine and Covenants 4
 1 NOW behold, a amarvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men.
 2 Therefore, O ye that embark in the aservice of God, see that ye bserve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand cblameless before God at the last day.
 3 Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are acalled to the work;
 4 For behold the afield is white already to bharvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in cstore that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul;
 5 And afaith, bhope, ccharity and dlove, with an eeye single to the fglory of God, gqualify him for the work.
 6 Remember faith, avirtue, knowledge, btemperance, cpatience, dbrotherly ekindness, fgodliness, charity, ghumility, hdiligence.
 7 aAsk, and ye shall receive; bknock, and it shall be opened unto you. Amen.

From the Bulletin
"The words "come unto Christ" are an invitation. It is the most important invitation you could ever offer to another person. It is the most important invitation anyone could accept. From the beginning of the Restoration of the gospel in this dispensation, it has been the charge given by Jesus Christ to His representatives. Their charge has been "to warn, expound, exhort, and teach, and invite all to come unto Christ."
Every member of the Church, upon accepting the baptismal covenant, becomes a disciple who has promised to stand as a witness of Jesus Christ at all times in any place he or she may be in. The purpose of our witness is to invite people to come unto Him.
All of us should be intensely interested in learning how to issue that invitation effectively. We know from experience that some will not respond. Only a few responded when the Savior Himself offered this invitation during His mortal ministry. But great was His joy in those who recognized His voice. And great has been our joy when those we have invited have come unto Him." President Henry B. Eyring, "Come unto Christ," Liahona, Mar 2008, 48 — 52.
