Good News Minute:
Amy Bush's Grandpa turned 105 this last week!!! wow we want his secrets.

This weeks lesson was Chapter 18 "Faith in Jesus Christ"
Heather led a great discussion how we build faith, what is faith?, and what does it mean to have faith in Christ as opposed to just having faith. Hebrews 11:1 says faith is "hope for things which are not seen, which are true. The comment was made that faith is a principle of action. We must study, learn and act for us to increase our faith.
Why is it so important to have faith is Christ? without faith in Christ all other things we do are useless. The atonement would have no meaning for us. Ask yourself how having faith in Christ influences how we perform in our church callings, jobs, daily actions and our hope for eternal life. Matthew 17:20 is the blessing that we can do anything if we only have the faith of a mustard seed. Just like planting a garden, we plant the seeds and have faith that they will grow, but faith alone won't do anything. The ground needs to be worked, nourished and cultivated to grow. Once we see the fruits of our faith we are more willing to take more leaps of faith and then our faith becomes knowledge, something that we know!
I'd like to thank Elaine for her music that she provides, it really sets the spirit for the lesson!
We have lots of activities this week, look forward to seeing you all throughout the week.
Make it a great one!
