Church Services This Week at Oak Ridge Ward Layton North Stake Layton Utah 27 November 2022

Sacrament Service 

First Speaker

A missionary that just got set apart to go to the Georgia Atlanta Spanish speaking mission. 

We can be saviors, to some degree, simply by smiling at someone. 

Matthew 7:7-8

7 ¶ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

The door is always there.  Will we knock? 

Amos 5:4

4 ¶ For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:

Next Speaker

Amos 3:7

7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

“There are many scriptures which assure us that God is as interested in us today as he has been in all his children from the beginning, and thus we believe in continuous revelation from God through his prophets to guide us in these latter days.” (President N. Eldon Tanner, “Christ in America”, April 1975 General Conference)

Amos 5:14-15

14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.

15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

“After centuries of spiritual darkness, described by Amos and Jeremiah, we solemnly announce to all the world that the spiritual famine is ended, the spiritual drought is spent, the word of the Lord in its purity and totalness is available to all men. One needs not wander from sea to sea nor from the north to the east, seeking the true gospel as Amos predicted, for the everlasting truth is available.“ (Elder Spencer W Kimball, April 1964 General Conference

Elders Quorum 

Moroni 7:43-44

43 And again, behold I say unto you that he cannot have faith and hope, save he shall be meek, and lowly of heart.

44 If so, his faith and hope is vain, for none is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly in heart; and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity.

Someone in class suggested that meek means humble, not passive. 

Longsuffering is like Christ. He suffered a lot and kept going. He continued to do God's work in spite of His challenges. 

We talk about not using vain repetition in our prayers. He doesn't say we can't have intentional and sincere repetition.
