Bishopric message

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

We welcome Sister Annie Lewis home from her mission and are excited to hear from her and worship with you tomorrow. Please click on this link to participate virtually

As we are studying the life of Abraham, his toughest challenge of taking his only son to the alter, I couldn’t help but think of the words of our prophet Russel M Nelson as he talked about his study of the gathering of Israel and the Abrahamic covenant:

“So imagine my delight when I was led recently to a new insight. With the help of two Hebrew scholars, I learned that one of the Hebraic meanings of the word Israel is “let God prevail.” Thus the very name of Israel refers to a person who is willing to let God prevail in his or her life. That concept stirs my soul!

The word willing is crucial to this interpretation of Israel. We all have our agency. We can choose to be of Israel, or not. We can choose to let God prevail in our lives, or not. We can choose to let God be the most powerful influence in our lives, or not.”

Let us all be like Abraham and be willing to let God prevail in our lives.

Love,

P3 Bishopric
