Church Services This Week at Oak Ridge Ward Layton North Stake Layton Utah 17 Nov 2019

Sacrament Service

Bulletin

Doctrine and Covenants 78:19

19 And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more.


First Speaker

A sister that recently returned from the Florida Tampa Mission spoke to us.


You can learn and understand more if you use the Book of Mormon and Bible together.


To receive revelation, be specific in your prayers and be ready and willing to act on what is revealed.


Next Speaker

God orchestrates complicated events to come together for our good.  He is able to do that for every individual on Earth.  He does this with everyone’s agency in the mix and He still is able to make it happen, because He knows each of us so personally.  He knows everyone.

Hebrews 7:13

13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.


The reason Hebrews feels different than others of Paul's epistles may be because Luke may have been the scribe and Luke writes very differently than the other scribes. 


Hebrews 11:1

1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.


Hebrews 11:13

13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.


Alma 32

17 Yea, there are many who do say: If thou wilt show unto us a sign from heaven, then we shall know of a surety; then we shall believe.

18 Now I ask, is this faith? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for if a man knoweth a thing he hath no cause to believe, for he knoweth it.

19 And now, how much more cursed is he that knoweth the will of God and doeth it not, than he that only believeth, or only hath cause to believe, and falleth into transgression?

20 Now of this thing ye must judge. Behold, I say unto you, that it is on the one hand even as it is on the other; and it shall be unto every man according to his work.

21 And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.


Hebrews 10:34-38

34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.


“Sure it is tough—before you join the Church, while you are trying to join, and after you have joined.”

“Don’t panic and retreat. Don’t lose your confidence. Don’t forget how you once felt. Don’t distrust the experience you had. That tenacity is what saved Moses when the adversary confronted him, and it is what will save you.” (Jeffrey R Holland, “‘Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence’”, BYU Speech March 2, 1999)
