Church Services This Week at Oak Ridge Ward Layton North Stake Layton Utah 30 Sept 2018

Sacrament Service 

Bulletin

“Don't live your life in despair, feeling sorry for yourself because of tune mistakes you have made. Let the sunshine in by doing the right things - now.” - Elder Richard G Scott


First Speaker

2 Nephi 9:39

39 O, my beloved brethren, remember the awfulness in transgressing against that Holy God, and also the awfulness of yielding to the enticings of that cunning one. Remember, to be carnally-minded is death, and to be spiritually-minded is life eternal.


Next Speaker

“Attacks against the Church, its doctrine, and our way of life are going to increase. Because of this, we need women who have a bedrock understanding of the doctrine of Christ and who will use that understanding to teach and help raise a sin-resistant generation. We need women who can detect deception in all of its forms. We need women who know how to access the power that God makes available to covenant keepers and who express their beliefs with confidence and charity. We need women who have the courage and vision of our Mother Eve.” (President Russell M. Nelson, “A Plea to My Sisters”, October 2015 General Conference)


Church is supplemental to our teaching at home.


Help children understand the doctrine of repentance.


Repentance is not shameful.  It is joyful.


“For years Church leaders have been emphasizing that home is the best place to live, learn, and teach the gospel, and gospel learning and teaching should be part of our daily lives, not confined to Sunday classes.” (Church News 6 July 2018)


“Several years ago in Africa I learned how dangerously invisible crocodiles can be. I then warned our youth about unseen spiritual crocodiles lying in wait to destroy them.


“Those invisible dangers have greatly increased in number, and now there are many kinds of them.” (President Boyd K. Packer, “The Word of Wisdom: The Principle and the Promises”, April 1996 General Conference)


“My dear brothers and sisters, we are living in the most crucial era in the history of the world,” he said on Saturday evening, September 15. “Since the beginning of time, prophets have foreseen our day and prophesied about what would take place during this winding-up period before the Savior comes again.” (President Russell M. Nelson, speaking at Safeco Field in Seattle, Washington, on Saturday, September 15, 2018)


Next Speaker

3 Nephi 17:11-17

11 And it came to pass that he commanded that their little children should be brought.

12 So they brought their little children and set them down upon the ground round about him, and Jesus stood in the midst; and the multitude gave way till they had all been brought unto him.

13 And it came to pass that when they had all been brought, and Jesus stood in the midst, he commanded the multitude that they should kneel down upon the ground.

14 And it came to pass that when they had knelt upon the ground, Jesus groaned within himself, and said: Father, I am troubled because of the wickedness of the people of the house of Israel.

15 And when he had said these words, he himself also knelt upon the earth; and behold he prayed unto the Father, and the things which he prayed cannot be written, and the multitude did bear record who heard him.

16 And after this manner do they bear record: The eye hath never seen, neither hath the ear heard, before, so great and marvelous things as we saw and heard Jesus speak unto the Father;

17 And no tongue can speak, neither can there be written by any man, neither can the hearts of men conceive so great and marvelous things as we both saw and heard Jesus speak; and no one can conceive of the joy which filled our souls at the time we heard him pray for us unto the Father.


Sunday School 

The Holy Ghost

Spiritual gifts can be bestowed through the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Some are given from birth, but must be grown through the holy spirit. If we have not received them from birth then we need to ask for them and desire them. 


“I am not asking you to pretend to faith you do not have. I am asking you to be true to the faith you do have.” (Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, “‘Lord, I Believe’”, April 2013 General Conference)


“Without faith, no other gift can be given…We should seek to increase our faith, find out our gifts, and use them.” (“True to the Faith”, Chapter 22)


Satan can imitate the gifts of the spirit. The imitations are to serve themselves and not others. 


Dnc 46:26

26 And all these gifts come from God, for the benefit of the children of God.


Joint Priesthood and Relief Society Meeting

If you can't trust, you can't solve problems together. 


Smile at each other frequently. 


A relationship needs common values. Values like morales, money, and so forth. 

Thoughts from president Kimball talk on marriage and divorce. 


If you are kind you are building trust. 


Loved, Adored, Wanted, Needed


“As we turn to our Heavenly Father and seek His wisdom regarding the things that matter most, we learn over and over again the importance of four key relationships: with our God, with our families, with our fellowman, and with ourselves.” (President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Of Things That Matter Most”, October 2010 General Conference)
