Where Is Your Hope?

“For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” Romans 15:4

This past week I had two dear friends die. It was a rough week for many of us who loved them. I felt a bit shaken and found myself waking up at night trying to get my head around the fact that these dear ones with whom I had enjoyed fellowship, laugher, and labor for Jesus with were now… gone. I prayed for their families and talked to God about how I was feeling.

Teach What Is Good

This past Friday (February 12), we had a Cookie Exchange for our newfound Ladies Night for our Salt Lake City location (Every second Friday of the month!) It was encouraging to see women meeting new women, breaking down walls, and building community. It was a success to say the least, especially if you measure success in number of cookies exchanged.

Called by Name

We don’t know a lot about Bezalel. He isn’t one of the main Bible characters that we think about and he isn’t often taught about in church. I imagine he was a seemingly average guy to most people and that is what intrigues me about God’s incredible call on his life.

After Israel was set free from Egypt and the Lord was instructing Moses (we are told about this in Exodus 35:30b-33), we read — “See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel… and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze, in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, for work in every skilled craft.” The Lord called Bezalel by name to build the Altar, the Ark of the Covenant, and all other sorts of beautiful artifacts that were crucially important to the Jews.

ReVive Leadership

Are you a leader at The Rock Church? Are you interested in hearing some amazing (and very relevant) teachings about spiritual gifts? If you answered “yes” to those questions, have we got a morning planned for you! Plan on joining us on Saturday, February 20 (Draper location) at 9:00 a.m. We will spend time worshiping, praying and listening to some very practical messages from John Meyer (our Mountains West Regional Leader) about spiritual gifts in the church and in our lives as well. All are welcome — leaders are expected.

Love On Display

Jesus was quite serious about the love and sacrifice we should have towards one another as Christians. In John 13:34-35 He says, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.”

Jesus Is Better series

The stories of the Old Testament can sometimes be unfamiliar to us as Christians. It says in Romans 15:4, “For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” But, like this verse in Romans states, they were written to instruct us.

Unbelief

“And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!” Mark 9:23-24

This verse is about Jesus healing the boy with the unclean spirit. The father of the boy knew that Jesus and His disciples were doing some pretty incredible things, so he decided to take his son to the disciples for help. They were not able to cast out the evil spirit. Jesus, in His love, then came and asked the man what he was looking for? The man asked for compassion and help for his son.
