General Conference Applied "Joy Through Covenant Discipleship"
8/28/2025: S5 E42, Episode 151, Elder John A. McCune, April 2025 General Conference, "Joy Through Covenant Discipleship".
Clay and Mitch identified the following invitations and shared how they will take action and how you could take action:
1. "Jesus Christ declared, 'I was in the beginning with the Father, and am the Firstborn.' Because of who He is and what He has done, we worship Him, we revere Him, we give glory to Him, and we follow Him. Christ has redeemed us, and we are forever grateful for His infinite and atoning sacrifice."
2. "In our quest to understand what we do not know, we might sometimes rely on our familiar mortal experiences, or things we do know. For example, we can learn somewhat of God the Father through our own parenthood and mortal family relationships. However, we should be careful in applying these comparisons too far in our attempt to understand our Heavenly Father. The attributes of God the Father transcend any less-than-perfect attributes of a fallen man."
3. "God the Father is the perfect Father. He is perfectly loving, kind, patient, and understanding and is perfectly glorious. We can trust Him perfectly.... [T]rust God the Father and Jesus Christ because They are just and fair with all of us."
4. "[W]e pondered this experience."
5. "As we make and keep covenants, we will naturally turn outward and have a desire to help others feel the measure of joy and love we feel in our covenantal relationships. We can be part of the greatest cause on the earth today—the gathering of Israel. We can help to bring God’s children to Christ."
6. "As we bind ourselves to act as covenant disciples, in whatever our level of capacity, our relationship with the Father and the Son is enriched, our joy enhanced, and our eternal perspective expanded. We then are endowed with power and can feel joy in a measure reserved for God’s true covenant disciples."
