“One Work Together In Christ,” General Conference Leadership Meeting—October 2024 (2024)
General Conference Leadership Meeting—October 2024
One Work Together in Christ
Instruction from Elder Patrick Kearon
The work of the Church is one work centered in Jesus Christ. This one work consists of the five following areas:
-
Missionary Work
-
Ministering
-
Rising Generation
-
Temple
-
Welfare
See yourselves teaching these principles as if you are working with a friend or newly baptized member of the Church. What will help them develop belief as they become a more rooted member of the Church?
Consider each of these areas as a strand in a cable woven together. Each strand is strong on its own, but as each of these areas works together, there is a combined spiritual strength. There should be a balanced effort in each area as they weave together. Those strands help to sustain and lift a bridge of faith. That bridge helps each member and friend of the Church in their faith journey.
Each of the areas will work effectively if they are united and centered in Christ. “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him.”
Just as each piece of an orchestra combines to make beautiful music, so does each piece of the one work to accomplish the beautiful work of the Lord.
