“My Law to Govern My Church”

April 28 – May 4, 2025

WEEK 18 SUMMARY

=================

In Doctrine and Covenants sections 41 to 44, the revelations cover a range of topics as the early Saints are gathered in Kirtland, Ohio. Section 41 introduces the establishment of the law of the Church and the importance of appointing a bishop, with Edward Partridge called to this role. Section 42, known as "the law," provides detailed commandments regarding the principles of consecration, teaching, and community behavior. Section 43 addresses the proper order for receiving revelations, reminding the Saints to look to Joseph Smith as the one appointed to receive commandments for the Church. Finally, section 44 encourages the holding of conferences, highlighting the benefits of gathering to plan and discuss the welfare of the Church community. Together, these sections emphasize organization, unity, and the spirit of guidance in establishing the Church.
