Take a Virtual Tour of a Sunday Service for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 

It is like re-charging your spiritual batteries each week. Partaking in the sacrament allows us to renew our baptism covenants and worship Jesus Christ who leads our church on earth today.

In the Old Testament, it talks about the sabbath as a period of refreshment. Just like re-charging those spiritual batteries as you mentioned!

I enjoy going to church. When Covid first hit and it closed meetings, it made me very sad. It Is fortunately for me because of my active service in the church when I'm not there I'm always called and asked where I was and I was missed. If you make an effort to go, it becomes like a second home. What always amazes me is how many people only come once in while; if miss too many times, no one knows you when you walk through the door. The old saying holds true, "out of sight, out of mind." Jesus Christ wants us tto be there. There's so many reasons to come vs reasons not to come.

I've been blessed by being invited to live the gospel in my life in all that I do! I'm grateful for sacrament meeting. And I'm grateful for the love I've felt by attending church and remembering his love and the strength to keep the commanents

Yes so much so!

I love Mormon missionaries. With a few rare exceptions, they're the kind of young men and women who make you feel glad to be alive!

D-rod, I was baptized Catholic @ age 1, but my parents joined the Mormon church right after...its an amazing religion, and is eerily similar to the Catholic religion...but I have to laugh at your comment about the "prettiest" woman? man, pretty LDS women are rare gems, and when you find one, sadly, they know that they are pretty, and unfortunately carry that same snobby attitude that your typical high school cheerleader carries. The culture also is just really weird, I love the Gospel, but not the cultural mindset of the ppl that belong to it

@@DownTheHill3then why don’t you convert back to Catholicism? The Catholic Church is always open for everyone with open arms.

@@DownTheHill3 come back to the one church Jesus founded, the Catholic Church.

hahahahah you're kidding@@hildegardnessie8438

Deanna, you are awesome! Thank you for sharing your story. I will pray for you that you have the compensatory help that you need to overcome any obstacles. God loves you so much!

Mormonism is a very interesting religion, but do your research first and look past the glossy propaganda. Remember many people around the world see Mormonism as a cult or at least a "soft cult".

You should look to Holy Orthodoxy and the Greek Orthodox Church! There you will find a great spiritual treasure that goes back to the apostles through real historical figures in real historical places!

So true!

Neat! We hope you have a wonderful time.

Thank you for your inspirational words!

So glad you left a comment, thank you!

Amen, unity makes the world a better place!

Those questions might make some uncomfortable because they haven't studied or learned about them on their own. We would be more than happy to discuss any questions you have...

Why was that?

I've heard too many stories like this, new friends who as soon as you get acomodated forget about you and move on onto the next convert

Interesting, because I asked many questions from the first day onward and they were all very open and discussed everything with me, pretty transparent and real.

​@@CalledtoShare do you believe Jesus Christ is the son of GOD and the only way to heaven is through Accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Savior?

Amen and Amen!

Neat!

Which part is heresy?

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you for doing so!

Thank you so much!

It's nice to have a source of peace and truth

Hello, Unfortunately, that is clearly inaccurate. Jesus did not establish The Later Day Saints as his true church, but he did on the Catholic Church. God Bless!!

Jesus established His only Church on the Day of Pentecost when people were added to it through repentance and baptism for the remission of sins - Acts 2:38,47. They were called Christians (not Catholic or Mormon) and members of the Church of Christ - Acts 11:26; Romans 16:16

Thank you for sharing!

They are beautiful people and they have the truth. They'll be okay. The Bible is clear, and we love it. Thank you for your comment.

Paul, thanks for the comment. We obviously disagree on some points of doctrine but glad we have the freedom to worship as we each choose.

@@CalledtoShare with you on freedom - but why did Brigham teach Adam was God?

Viva Christo Rey!

Emily, this link explains some of our basic beliefs. Feel free to check it out and let me know if you have any questions > www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/article/articles-of-faith

This is a similar question that was posed by a group of people many centuries ago who asked: "We have no place to worship our God; and behold, what shall we do?" Read Alma 32 in the Book of Mormon and ponder on the response that was given. I think you will find some answers. You can read it here > www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/alma/32?lang=eng

@@CalledtoShare thanks so much

Since Jesus Christ is the Eternal President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the answer is 1000% yes.

@@CalledtoShare do you believe Jesus is God in the Flesh and Lord and Savior of He or she that repents of their sins and places their Faith in Jesus for their Salvation by through Faith by Grace alone?

Our pleasure!

Glad it was helpful!

It comes from Doctrine and Covenants 27. In preparation for a religious service at which the sacrament of bread and wine was to be administered, Joseph set out to procure wine. He was met by a heavenly messenger and received this revelation, a portion of which was written at the time and the remainder in the September following. Water is now used instead of wine in the sacramental services of the Church.

@@CalledtoShare So what will be served at the marriage supper of the Lamb, wine or water?

@@rickanduiza186 Catholic church does not serve wine either. Wine in Church? Where?

Glad you enjoy it

Awesome! We hope you have a great time!

How was it

Bring all the good that you have and see if we can add to it!

Thanks!

I think if you look for the love when you go back, you'll find it. I wish I could go with you and sit by you! I'd love you!

I’m nervous of attending again

I know this was 2 months ago but how are doing? Ha e you been able to attend church?

@@rdancranston I haven’t had a chance and the missionaries I was talking with haven’t been around fir a while

@@CalledtoShare the missionaries don’t seem to want to help me

Awesome! We hope you have a great time.

Sunday best is what we wear, but we love everyone who walks through the chapel doors regardless of what they are wearing. Great question!

@@CalledtoShare I’m a lot like the woman who shared in the end of the video. Every week for the about the last 5 years I’ve wanted to go to church but anxiety of the unknown gets me every time.

So sorry for your experience. We love you!

Great question, and the answer all comes down to covenants. A covenant is a promise between God and us. When we covenant to keep God's commands, He promises to save us through the power of His Son Jesus Christ. Our works (obedience) don't save us, Christ does. But these works are required to enter heaven, because they help us become who God wants us to be. Our part of the covenant is to obey, and Christ's part is to save us. I hope that makes sense. If you have any other questions, please let us know.

@@CalledtoShare I mean this with love, but you didn't address the contradiction I brought up from ephesians and 2 nephi. Book of mormom states we are saved by grace after all we can do and ephesians 2 says we are saved by grace through faith..not of works so no man may boast. Also what was Paul talking about in galatians 2 and romans 3 that man is justified apart from works of the law? From your response it seams our ability to be in heaven is not by faith in christ alone rather by works of the law.

@@CalledtoShare secondly, if man's obedience was able to get him into heaven, what was the point of christ dieing for men that had thr ability to obey God to merit salvation? Seems thr bible from cover to end shows man's inability to save himself..that the law itself was a mirror..a standard that man cannot upheld. Men entered into covenants all throughout scripture..and man was always unfaithful in keeping their promise.

I feel like I did answer your question. The purpose of works is not to save us. The purpose of works is to fulfill the covenant of obedience. Christ saves. Grace saves. Works fulfill our part of the covenant. Hope that is clear. Thanks again for the question.

Yes

You'll be fine. Excited to have you!

It's simply a form of Respect to Jesus, is it not? To dress in a respectful and clean manner? Wouldn't you wear your best on a date with someone who you respect and care for, wanting to make a good impression? Wouldn't you wear modest and nice clothes amongst children or grandparents? Many churches wear their Sunday best. Baptist being one, even hats. Nothing unusual or strange.

@@sleepingwithcats5121 hats? In the building even? How rude.

@@sleepingwithcats5121 I', kidding with all this ya know but on a mor esincere note Christ isn't impressed with clothes it's impressed with sincerity and honesty with a joyful heart oh LORD I am NOT gonna start preaching here

@@unknownuserbutnotabuser of course Lord is not impressed with clothes, that's not the point, that all is needless to say don't you think? Be well

Elder is a priesthood office that the male missionaries have been ordained to.

You are so welcome

He shouldn't have done that. Sorry.

That sucks, do you live in one of those strict cities?

I hope you can find another one nearby. 🤞 Sorry you had an unfortunate encounter. 😕😔

I'm sorry to hear that. Our state has a strict mask mandate, so most members of our ward wear one, but no one makes me feel bad if I don't. (To me masking is a symbol of the oppression of our children and grandchildren for years to come).

I am sorry that happened to you at church but I can promise you it is NOT like that in all Wards. I was serving in the Bishopric until recently and we never turned anyone away because of not wearing a mask.

This section of the Doctrine and Covenants explains that. Great question! www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/27?lang=eng#study_intro1

Because of modern revelation... Read Doctrine and Covenants 27: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/27?lang=eng

Awesome! Thank you for your devotion to God. You are welcome to visit one of our chapels any time.

That may be your opinion.

You can read what lead to the bread and now water change. It is found here. www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/27?lang=eng One of the blessings of having a living prophet and modern revelation to guide the Church.

Thank you for the extra information. The bread represents Jesus' flesh and the wine represented His blood. From the beginning of Biblical accounts in regards of sacrifice and sacrificial offerings, the blood represented life. Leviticus 17:11 "For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I myself have given it on the altar for you to make atonement for yourselves, because it is the blood that makes atonement by means of the life in it." Jesus gave His life in sacrifice to atone for our sins. He will be remembered by His sacrifice, His life and His blood he offered as the "Lamb of God." 1 John 1:7 "However, if we are walking in the light as he himself is in the light, we do have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin" Of course, we can't consume blood, because it was against the Mosaic law and was also in effect after Jesus' death. (Acts 15:28-29 ) Leviticus 17:12 "That is why I have said to the Israelites: “None of you should eat blood, and no foreigner who is residing in your midst should eat blood.”" Using water is acceptable according to your testament ( The Book Of Mormon ) as the symbol for the baptism but not for the forgiveness of sins according to the Holy Bible. 1 John 5:6 "This is the one who came by means of water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And the spirit is bearing witness, because the spirit is the truth." And I believe that is what you want your congregants to remember. Unless there's a remembrance of the blood that Jesus poured out, there will be no remembrance of His forgiveness, and that's the reason the LDS Church, according to the Testament of Joseph Smith does it. That is a very serious sin and a very '"suspicious" change that an angel from God would inspire Joseph Smith to do. That implicates that God no longer sees the blood or the wine representing Jesus' blood as important and it is quite misleading. Hebrews 9:22 "Yes, according to the Law nearly all things are cleansed with blood, and unless blood is poured out no forgiveness takes place." 2 Timothy 2:15 "Do your utmost to present yourself approved to God, a workman with nothing to be ashamed of, handling the word of the truth aright." I rest my case. The truth is spoken.

The water still represents the blood. Nothing changed there.

What are you scared of?

@@CalledtoShare You

Why?

@@CalledtoShare u guys too nice

Well, we try to follow Jesus' example.

I'm really sorry that happened to you. Don't be afraid to say hi to someone as well. Who knows, maybe a few of those who were staring were visitors too. If you are ever in Utah and want to visit again I'll sit by you and we can chat.

It was in Michigan. I went with a member who was my friend and they talked to her but ignored me. It just didn't felt right to the point I didn't want to learn anything.

Sorry :(

I hope you don’t judge the whole church based on your experience with a few people. People everywhere sometimes just stick to their familiar circle of acquaintances and don’t really open up easily to people they don’t know. And there are rude people everywhere, unfortunately. But there are also nice people everywhere, too, and I think there were probably many there who would have liked to have talked to you too. I hope you will give going another chance, if only for an educational opportunity. I think it is a nice thing to visit others’ churches and make connections that way.

Go, you can sit by them.

what a weird thing to say​@@CalledtoShare

Ok

Matthew 5:48 Romans 8:17

They don't have to, they can wear pants as well.

@@CalledtoShare How many typically do and what is the recommendation?

@@BNJ24 I don't believe that have any rules or anything about there's no requirement just depends on the individual wanting to look a certain way for church probably just because that's how they're mother dressed for church

Where do you live?

Fakeness of what?

We are followers of Jesus and Christians too

@@CalledtoShare but you also at the same time, followed someone named Joesph that come out of no where.

@@Ana05702 that's like criticizing the children of Israel for following some random guy named Moses. God always calls prophets to lead his people (Amos 3:7), the purpose of the prophets is to point us to Jesus Christ. Joseph was just another of many prophets who was called by God to lead God's people. We don't worship Joseph, we worship Jesus.

@@spencerknavel3485 Unfortunately, the LDS church doesn't let you really study the true history. They say you don't need to. They discourage you from reading or studying outside sources. They say it is to protect you, but it is so you don't find out the truth. If they are so adamant about the truth, you should be free to look at all sources of information, within the church or outside of the church. The truth is the truth, regardless of where you obtain the information. Blessings to you all. I pray that you will someday find the truth, and realize that your prophets are just fallible and controlling men. Your source should be the Bible first, not the Book of Mormon!

I can study whatever source I want. And I have. However, to deny that some sources are more reliable than others would be naïve. Does the Church encourage you to study from reliable sources by people who aren't out to destroy your faith? Absolutely. As for prophets being controlling men, this is 100% false. Later. Take that "tHe pAtRiArChY iS eViL" crap somewhere else.

It was manufactured. It was a video.

Come to Jesus first.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

You are deceived and deceiving others

@@CalledtoShare Mormons are not part of the body of Jesus so you are not in his family, you are not following Jesus you are controlled by evil entity s, so sad false prophet s and illusions you have and are.

You don't talk like Jesus would.

Have you been?

True, I'm shaking with fear just watching this video.

People commenting on this channel spend more time worrying about Joseph Smith than Jesus Christ.

God loves you and He is your father.
