2017 October General Conference Saturday Morning

President Uchtdorf

God's Spirit will lead us home

If we seek our Heavenly home and follow the Savior, Our lives will be better but not trouble free

Fruit of the gospel is not material wealth but joy and peace

God will increase our strength

Begin our journey home

Seek to be a blessing to others

God uses the weak and imperfect if we are humble

Sister Oscarson

Natural disasters brings opportunities for service

Whosoever will lose his life shall save it

Service is our purpose

We do not go to church for what we get out of it

Yes learn doctrine and feel inspired but also lift others

Servers and suppliers, not just takers and consumers

Look to Minister to others

Elder Oaks

The wisdom of God is foolishness to the world

Do not seek the vain things of the world

We should expect mocking and opposition 

We should forsake the world

Salvation is an individual matter

Exaltation is a family matter

Sometimes truth causes conflict

Family Proclamation is not just a policy

Show love for all but fearlessly follow our faith 

In 1995, the Family Proclamation was inspired and prophetic

It is a test for our generation

Elder Pingree

God has a work for each of us

Improve our discipleship by serving others

Identify and develop spiritual gifts

Make use of adversity

Tribulation helps us serve others

Avoid distraction and discouragement

Allow God to work through us

Deflect personal praise

"Here am I, send me"

Elder Christopherson 

The 5000 hung around wanting to be fed again

Jesus wanted the people to eat His flesh and blood (spiritually) not just the barley loaves

This is a hard saying, who can hear it?

Feast upon the words of Christ

Each torn piece of bread is unique just as our needs, struggles are unique

Internalize the qualities of Christ

Give away all our sins

Gap between our sinfulness and the holiness of God

We must be humble and plead for forgiveness

Christ is the Son of the Man of Holiness

Seek holiness in all we do, think, hear

Elder Holland

Be ye therefore perfect

How can we ever measure up

Are covenants just curses and condemnations?

We may not be perfect here but this does not justify our sins

We are all debtors, our debt is incomprehensible
