Sunday's Lesson: The Key's & Authority of the Priesthood

Sisters,

This Sunday we will have an opportunity to continue our study of the Priesthood, as taught by Elder Oaks in the April 2014 General Conference. You can find the talk here. Elder Oaks' message reassures us that priesthood keys direct women as well as men and that the authority of the priesthood is not exclusive to men in the church. 

• As you read this talk, please focus on the ways that Elder Oaks defines keys and authority. 
• Is there anything he teaches that you did not know or that clarified your understanding of the priesthood?
• How do you understand your relationship with the priesthood as the power and authority of God? 
• What is the greatest blessing you have from exercising priesthood authority? 

So often I think of the priesthood blessing my life as I am a recipient of its power. I invite you to expand this vision and think of the ways that you, as a woman, have been able to experience and utilize priesthood authority. 

I look forward to learning from your experiences and insights.

See you Sunday!
