General Conference: God’s Word for Today
In Biblical times, Jesus Christ invited His followers to gather and hear His teachings. We still gather today—although it looks a little different now. You’re invited to be a part of it!
What is general conference?
General conference is a global broadcast for followers of Jesus Christ. People from all over the world tune in virtually to hear talks from religious leaders and enjoy performances of sacred music.
But it’s more than just an inspirational broadcast. General conference is a chance to hear from modern-day prophets about God’s message for us today. Their talks are like scriptures for our own time.
It’s also a special opportunity to hear from the men and women who lead our Church. It’s an exciting time to learn from Russell M. Nelson, the prophet and the President of our Church, along with the twelve Apostles and the leaders of our women and youth organizations. All are welcome to watch, no matter which faith they belong to.
As you watch or listen to the speakers, you may receive insights unique to you and your personal circumstances. God knows you, and He uses prophets to share His love and guidance for you. Here are some examples of talks given in general conference:
President Russell M. Nelson offers five suggestions to help us increase our faith and trust in Jesus Christ, who can help us move the “mountains” in our lives.
Because of His atoning sacrifice, the Savior has power to cleanse, heal, and strengthen us one by one.
Through the redeeming Atonement and glorious Resurrection of Jesus Christ, broken hearts can be healed, anguish can become peace, and distress can become hope.
Jesus Christ both understands unfairness and has the power to provide a remedy.
As we come unto Jesus Christ by exercising faith in Him, repenting, and making and keeping covenants, our brokenness—whatever its cause—can be healed.
As you extend yourself with kindness, care, and compassion, you will heal hearts.
What matters isn’t so much what we are going through in life but what we are becoming.
