Weekly Update - December 6th - 12th

FAITH


"The Joy of Living a Christ-Centered Life"


Conference Talk given by Elder Richard Maynes in the Oct 2015 Conference


Doctrine:


If our lives are centered in Jesus Christ, He can successfully mold us into who we need to be in order to return to His and Heavenly Father’s presence in the celestial kingdom. The joy we experience in this life will be in direct proportion to how well our lives are centered on the teachings, example, and atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.




Be sure to read the talk to see how our lives centered in Christ can be compared to the centering of clay on a pottery wheel.




Invitation to Action:

Our core, the center of our lives, must be Jesus Christ and His gospel. Living a Christ-centered life means we learn about Jesus Christ and His gospel and then we follow His example and keep His commandments with exactness.




Promised Blessings:


Centering our lives in Jesus Christ and His gospel will bring stability and happiness to our lives.  We can find peace, happiness and true joy.
