Sacrament Service
First Speaker
A young man that recently returned from a mission to Fresno, California spoke to us.
How do I know if I have faith? I act on it.
If one has faith in Christ, they will act on it.
Faith is belief in action.
2 Nephi 31:20
20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.
Moroni 7
45 And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
“As we diligently seek to have charity and virtue fill our lives, our confidence in approaching God will increase. I invite you to take intentional steps to grow in your confidence before the Lord.” (President Russell M. Nelson, “Confidence in the Presence of God”, April 2025 General Conference)
Next Speaker
DnC 4
1 Now behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men.
A marvelous work has come and is going forth among the children of men.
“My dear brothers and sisters, do you see what is happening right before our eyes? I pray that we will not miss the majesty of this moment! The Lord is indeed hastening His work.” (“The Lord Jesus Christ Will Come Again”, October 2024 General Conference)
We are perhaps baptized by immersion because we should be all in.
“When we say yes to serving, we are saying yes to Jesus Christ. And when we say yes to Christ, we are saying yes to the most abundant life possible.” (Elder Steven D. Shumway, “Participate to Prepare for Christ’s Return”, April 2025 General Conference)
Elders Quorum
Lesson was based on Ronald A. Rasband “Behold I Am the Light Which Ye Shall Hold Up” and Emily Belle Freeman - Live Up to Your Privileges
“We sustain our living prophet at general conference, and the First Presidency, the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, General Authorities, and Officers of the Church. To sustain means to hold up another person, to give them our attention, to be faithful to their trust, to act upon their words. They speak by inspiration of the Lord; they understand the current issues, the moral decline of society, and the adversary’s increasing efforts to thwart the Father’s plan. In holding up our hands, we are committing our support, not just for that moment but in our daily lives.” - Rasband
“Sustaining includes holding up our stake presidents and bishops, quorum and organization leaders, teachers, and even camp directors in our wards and stakes. Closer to home, we hold up our wives and our husbands, children, parents, extended family, and neighbors.” - Rasband
“Brothers and sisters, we need to do more lifting and less murmuring, more upholding the word of the Lord,” - Rasband
DnC 10
5 Pray always, that you may come off conqueror; yea, that you may conquer Satan, and that you may escape the hands of the servants of Satan that do uphold his work.
We can conquer Satan.
The light of Christ and the light of the Holy Ghost is brighter the closer we are to them.
Dnc 121:34-36
34 Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen?
35 Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson—
36 That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness.
