Sunday Happenings

Lesson: Ch. 18 Faith in Jesus Christ
Instructor: Sister Hansen

Sister Hansen started out with the question: How would you describe the concept of faith to someone who doesn't have English as their primary language?
  • Trust
  • Something that gets you through the hard times
  • Like the wind- something you can't see but can feel
  • Element of truth
  • Principle of action (DO)

What are things you act upon each day that you cannot see the end results of? How does fiath move you to action?

  • FHE
  • Raising Children
  • Hope
  • Teaching children the right way to live and hoping they will make the correct choices as they get older
  • Having faith to accept the answers when they come: "Thy will be done!"

How can we increase our faith?

  • We have to know him- Scripture Study, attending church meetings
  • Communication- daily prayer
  • Action: Put his words into action
  • Make the Savior and our Father in Heaven the center of your life
  • Have the desire: “But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words."
  • Sister Miles shared an example of keeping a journal of experiences when she has known that Heavenly Father was aware of her life. This journal has been a place she could go to, to remember these experiences and help her through hard times.
