Doctrine and Covenants 28:13 For all things must be done in order, and by common consent in the church, by the prayer of faith. Doctrine and Covenants 28:2 The prophet is the only one duly appointed by God to receive revelation for the Church and for the world. Doctrine and Covenants 28:15 We can receive revelation for ourselves to govern our lives. All Things Must Be Done in Order For Kids The sacrament helps me remember Jesus Christ. Doctrine and Covenants 27:1–2 Luke 22:19–20 ;  3 Nephi 18:1–11 Although Jesus originally used wine for the sacrament, now water is used. Read  Doctrine and Covenants 27:1–2 . How can we keep our eye single to the glory of God? What should we focus on when we partake of the sacrament? How does it help you to sing the sacrament hymns and bow your head when ...

  12a Voices of the Restoration Voices of the Restoration Emma Hale Smith The Lord  spoke to Emma in  Doctrine and Covenants 25 . It’s a valuable section to learn about the Lord’s love for and trust in His daughter Emma. Joseph Smith , her husband, also wrote about her. Emma was the wife of Joseph’s youth and the choice of his heart. He is touched and moved by their life together. Their joys and the many trials that they endured together. He feels so blessed to have had her support and her continual comfort. Lucy Mach Smith  wrote about Emma. “She was then young, and, being naturally ambitious, her whole heart was in the work of the Lord, and she felt no interest except for the church and the cause of truth. Whatever her hands found to do, she did with her might and did not ask the selfish question ‘Shall I be benefited any more than anyone else?’ If elders were sent away to preach, she was the first to volunteer her services to assist in clothing them for their...

Image
The Rise of the Church of Christ The Rise of the Church of Christ With the bringing forth of The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ, the Restoration and the Gathering began! The Lord restored His Doctrine and again gave priesthood authority to man. And the Lord restored His Church in these latter days. Doctrine and Covenants 10:53 : And for this cause have I said: If this generation harden not their hearts, I will establish my church among them. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord’s Church for the people of our day; and it is a precursor to The Church of the Firstborn. 18:5 : Wherefore, if you shall build up my church, upon the foundation of my gospel and my rock, the gates of hell shall not prevail against you.

What about you? Have you chosen faith in Jesus Christ? Will you continue to choose Him and walk His covenant path? “What is the gospel of Jesus Christ worth to me? What am I willing to sacrifice to help build God’s kingdom?” Doctrine and Covenants 19:18 Jesus sacrificed everything to follow God’s plan for Him. He bled from every pore, because of His love for me. Saints ,  1:76–84 (I’ve listened while exercising; but I need to get back to doing this; it’s been a while.)   “I, God, am endless.” Doctrine and Covenants 19:1–12 Revelation for Martin (and for us). verse 1 Jesus is indeed the beginning and the end. He was with Father from the start, and He has followed Him in complete humility and trust. He created this world. He atoned for you and me; through Him we will be re...
