“The Need For A Church” by President Dallin H. Oaks

40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 8

TALK: “The Need For A Church" by President Dallin H. Oaks

JESUS CHRIST:

“We do not go to Sabbath meetings to be entertained or even solely to be instructed. We go to worship the Lord. It is an individual responsibility. … If the service is a failure to you, you have failed. No one can worship for you; you must do your own waiting upon the Lord.”

-Spencer W. Kimball

SCRIPTURE:

“For the ​​​perfecting​ of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the ​​​edifying​ of the body of Christ:” -Ephesians 4:12

INSPIRING QUOTE:

“Church attendance gives us the strength and enhancement of faith that come from associating with other believers and worshipping together with those who are also striving to stay on the covenant path and be better disciples of Christ.”

-Dallin H. Oaks

INVITATION TO ACT:

“I pray that we will all be steadfast in these Church experiences as we seek eternal life, the greatest of all the gifts of God.”

-Dallin H. Oaks

PROMISED BLESSING:

“Attendance and activity in a church help us become better people and better influences on the lives of others. In church we are taught how to apply religious principles. We learn from one another. A persuasive example is more powerful than a sermon. We are strengthened by associating with others of like minds. In church attendance and participation, our hearts are, as the Bible says, ‘knit together in love.’”

-Dallin H. Oaks

REFLECTION QUESTION:

  • Why do I go to church each Sunday?

LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:

SOCIAL LEARNERS: As a family discuss what we can do to make a positive influence on others at church. 

MY THOUGHTS:

Great blessings come to us as we participate and worship together as a church community. Blessings come as we serve together, worship together, and come unto Jesus Christ together.
