Sacrament Service - Oak Ridge Ward, Layton North Stake
Two youth reported on Youth Battalion camp from this week, which is a combined camp, which used to be the separate Aaronic Priesthood and Daughters of Faith camps.
First Speaker
No matter our sin or trial, Jesus knows exactly how we feel.
Express gratitude in all things.
Next Speaker
Matthew 16:24-26
24 ¶ Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
The JST elaborates on obedience.
JST, Matthew 16:25–29
25 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.
26 And now for a man to take up his cross, is to deny himself all ungodliness, and every worldly lust, and keep my commandments.
27 Break not my commandments for to save your lives; for whosoever will save his life in this world, shall lose it in the world to come.
28 And whosoever will lose his life in this world, for my sake, shall find it in the world to come.
29 Therefore, forsake the world, and save your souls; for what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
See Obedience in the topics sections of the app.
This scripture also teaches us about service. Kind of speaks to the two great commandments by emphasizing obedience to God and service to our fellow men.
Mosiah 2
17 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.
Be good neighbors, whether your neighbors are members or not.
