Church Services This Week at Oak Ridge Ward Layton North Stake Layton Utah 24 Feb 2019

Sacrament Service 

Bulletin

“When we keep the commandments our lives will be happier, more fulfilling and less complicated.” - President Thomas S Monson


Hymn 15 “I Saw a Mighty Angel Fly” - It may be a surprise that this hymn does not have Latter-day Saints origins.  It is an anonymous poetic rendering of the scriptures in Revelation. The melody is often used in protestant hymnal as the time for “O Little Town of Bethlehem”.  The Lord revealed in Dnc 133:38 who the angel is. 


First Speaker

Sunday is not a Holiday, It is a holy day.


The purpose of the sabbath is to draw us closer to God.


Next Speaker

James 1

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.


Josh 2

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.


Sunday School 

Matthew 5, Luke 6 - The Sermon on the Mount

Jesus details attributes that we should be striving to add to our character. 


Matthew 5:14

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.


Many will try to snuff out our light, or our value. We should be careful not to smother our own light, our own testimony, our own worth. 


Youth Fireside

DnC 88

122 Appoint among yourselves a teacher, and let not all be spokesmen at once; but let one speak at a time and let all listen unto his sayings, that when all have spoken that all may be edified of all, and that every man may have an equal privilege.


“Our Heavenly Father has reserved many of His most noble spirits—perhaps, I might say, His finest team—for this final phase. Those noble spirits—those finest players, those heroes—are you!” (President Russell M. Nelson, Worldwide Youth Devotional • June 3, 2018 • Conference Center, Salt Lake City, Utah)


“Now, we would like to talk with you about the greatest challenge, the greatest cause, and the greatest work on earth. And we want to invite you to be part of it!”

“My dear young brothers and sisters, these surely are the latter days, and the Lord is hastening His work to gather Israel. That gathering is the most important thing taking place on earth today. Nothing else compares in magnitude, nothing else compares in importance, nothing else compares in majesty. And if you choose to, if you want to, you can be a big part of it. You can be a big part of something big, something grand, something majestic!”(ibib)


The gathering of Israel includes both sides of the veil. 


The most important thing you can do is to prepare to serve. 


Become a missionary long before you go. 


Dnc 138:55-56

55 I observed that they were also among the noble and great ones who were chosen in the beginning to be rulers in the Church of God.

56 Even before they were born, they, with many others, received their first lessons in the world of spirits and were prepared to come forth in the due time of the Lord to labor in his vineyard for the salvation of the souls of men.


Revelation 12:8,9,11

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.


The Liahona lead Lehi's family so long as they used it in righteousness. Our technology will do the same.
