Church of Jesus Christ Study Session with Come Follow Me

LDS Study Session seeks to generate reflection and about areas in the Restored Gospel. Whether it's Come Follow Me, a General Conference talk or a recent Gospel Topic, hopefully you'll find something to keep the Spirit of Christ in your life. @mattsroberts90

We begin a 2 week section of Come Follow Me, studying the letter from Paul to the Ephesians. We begin with a discussion about predestination/foreordination and how this principle works because we live under the direction of a perfect God.

LeGrand R Curtis Jnr: Unlike the redemptions under the law of Moses or in modern legal arrangements, this redemption does not come by “corruptible things, as silver and gold”. “In [Christ] we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace". President John Taylor taught that because of the Redeemer’s sacrifice, “the debt is paid, the redemption made, the covenant fulfilled, justice satisfied, the will of God done, and all power is … given into the hands of the Son of God”.

Join us as we conclude sharing thoughts and impressions about the historic 5th Sunday Broadcast that all members of the Church witnessed yesterday in their Church schedule. We consider the blessing of personal revelation and its role in this new program.

Vision of Changes for Children and Youth: Strengthen the rising generation’s faith in Jesus Christ, and help children, youth, and their families progress along the covenant path as they meet life’s challenges.

The First Presidency: The principles taught in this effort for children and youth represent a higher, holier way to encourage the rising generation to follow Jesus Christ and apply His gospel in all areas of their lives. This major effort will include gospel learning, the privilege of service, personal development, and exciting activities. This effort starts at home. Parents have a sacred responsibility to teach their children in light and truth. Church leaders offer valuable support and guidance to children, youth, and their families.

Join us as we discuss the blessings of the spirit. We consider how there is a content struggle or wrestle within us between the natural and the spiritual and how we reap the rewards from either when one becomes conqueror.

Brigham Young: "The spirit is warring with the flesh continually, and the flesh against the spirit. Which will come off victorious? This will decide the destiny of all the inhabitants of the earth. If the spirit reigns triumphant and overcomes the body and its passions, that character will receive glory; but if the passions and sin, within the flesh, overcome the spirit and subdue it, that character will be lost. That is all there is of it."

Join in as we discuss how the gospel was preached to Abraham and these promises were given to those before Christ came. We consider how practices of the gospel were in place before Christ began His ministry.

Elder Harold B Lee: And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. He was speaking of the ordinance of baptism in Moses' day when he wrote these words to the Corinthians: . . . how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses... And then of the children of Israel under the leadership of Moses, Paul again wrote to the Hebrews, and said, For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. All of these statements thus recorded in the Bible have been confirmed by modern revelation. Just as in the dispensations of Adam, Abraham, and Moses were those fundamental teachings given and those fundamental ordinances of the gospel administered

Join us as we continue the study of how the Saviour unlocks the door for the Gospel to be preached to all people, not just the literal seed of Abraham. We also consider the important role that dispensation heads (like Abraham) have in symbolising and foreshadowing the role that the Saviour has with the whole human family.

Orson Pratt: I refer now to the Patriarchs, and more especially to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, three very worthy men, so worthy that the Lord chose them as representatives of the faithful in all future ages, and declared that all who should be saved in future ages should became their seed, either springing directly from their loins, or being adopted, through the Gospel, into the family of Abraham, who was to be called the father of the faithful: that is the father not only of the faithful who lived from his day until the coming of Christ, but of all who should live after Christ who followed in the footsteps of this ancient Patriarch and embraced the same Gospel that he taught, and they should have a claim on the promises that were made to him.

We begin our study of the Come Follow Me materials for this week. We consider how the gospel of Christ sets us free of the restrictive and short term law of Moses.

Elder Franklin D Richards: I wish the Saints would put away these foolish ideas. I want to have you realize that you are in a condition of peace and plenty, with liberty, too, for God has made you free.

God has made His people free from the bondage of sin and death; we are at liberty, and there is no power on the earth that has the ability to fasten the shackles of sin and Satan upon us. It all depends upon our own conduct, as to whether we are and shall continue free.

Over the past couple of weeks I have been fortunate enough to be able to listen to the Liberating Saints Virtual Summit. I am going to share with you over the next three days my main takeaways from this conference but I strongly recommend you engage with the interviews on the webpage that is available until Monday 23rd September. If you miss it, they are available for a cost. As a parent, leader, spouse, child or relative, there are some key messages and points that you should hear from these interviews regarding pornography and building healthy physical intimacy in relationships: http://ls.leadingsaints.org/presell-page29085624

*Of course, this episode is discussing mature content so please be aware of having little ones around*

LDS Gospel Topics: If you learn that a family member is involved with pornography, it is common to feel angry, discouraged, betrayed, or distressed. In these difficulties, you may find and receive strength as you counsel with your bishop. You may also want to ask for a priesthood blessing from a worthy priesthood holder. Gain strength from the stories of others who have dealt with similar experiences.

LDS Gospel Topics: Parents have a sacred duty to teach their children and instill righteous values in them. Parents who have open discussions and talks with their children about intimacy and its role in our Heavenly Father’s plan help protect their children from the influence of the adversary.

LDS Gospel Topics: Physical intimacy is a sacred part of Heavenly Father’s plan of happiness. However, the adversary tries to thwart the Lord’s plan of happiness by suggesting that physical intimacy is only for personal gratification. Pornography is a tool of the adversary and its use causes the Spirit of the Lord to withdraw from us.
