What I learned in Church today (7th July 2013)
What I learned in Church today:
- The Lord is picking up the pace in missionary work. Are we?
- New converts make great missionaries because friends see the changes in them, and they are filled with joy and righteous pride. (Go Mike!)
- We should pray for missionaries serving from our ward daily, by name, and pray specifically over the areas in which they are serving.
- We have an obligation to recognise and take advantage of any missionary opportunity which presents itself.
- All prophets before Christ testified that Christ would come. All prophets since Christ have testified that he did come. Prophets throughout time have testified of Christ and continue to do so.
- In the parable of the ten virgins the bridegroom comes in the darkest hour. No one knows when the second coming will be, but it will be during dark times.
- In today's money a talent (see Matthew 25) is about £300,000.
- The second servant in the parable of the talents gets exactly the same praise from his master despite having less than half as much. What we have or where we are matters less than what we make of it.
Thanks to everyone who bore their testimonies, the Elders for the Gospel Principles lesson, and Kathryn Gibson for the Relief Society lesson. Special congratulations to Chima on his baptism, and best wishes to Elder Davis as he moves to a new area.
