  1. Restoration Projects

    Leave a Comment
    Restoration Projects – a word by Pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "I realized that it was a picture of what God does with us! He takes broken people and mends and heals us. God is all about restoration projects."

    “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you”— 1 Peter 5:10.

    During last month’s windstorm, my wheelbarrow blew over and the handle snapped off as it hit the ground. A wheelbarrow with a missing handle is not that useful. I was about to throw it away when it occurred to me that I could replace the broken handle. I went to the local hardware store and, low and behold, they sold replacement handles. So, I bought two and my son, Mclane, and I started on the project. We disassembled the entire wheelbarrow, replaced the handles and put it back together. It was a fun project. I enjoyed working with my son and I saved some money (two handles are cheaper than one new wheelbarrow).

  2. Prepare for War

    Prepare for War – a word by Pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "our battle is against the devil and his army. As members of God’s Church, we need to prepare for this war and walk in God’s victory."

    Not long ago, God reminded me that we are in a war. There is a battle raging within our society, culture and in the Church. But, our battle is NOT against COVID-19, masks, politics or people…it’s against the devil and his army. As members of God’s Church, we need to prepare for this war and walk in God’s victory.

  3. Walk by Faith

    Walk by Faith – a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "To walk by faith, we must fight to remember what Jesus has done for us. We must believe He is still good, no matter what life brings."

    To walk by faith is not the same thing as merely being entertained by Jesus. Christian author Paul Tripp put it this way, “There is a radical difference between amazement and faith. Faith is a commitment of your heart to a reality that changes the way you live.” 

    What will it take for us to go from amazement to faith? It can be so easy for our fickle hearts to forget the Lord’s faithfulness in our lives. We quickly forget what Jesus did just last week or even yesterday.

  4. Use Your Words Wisely

    Use Your Words Wisely – a word by Pastor Tony D'Amico from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "If you were to take your 7,000 words a day and break them into conversations, how many of those would be productive or life-giving?"

    Research shows that we speak at least 7,000 words per day — some of us, even more. It’s easy to get ourselves in trouble with that quantity and believe me, I’m no stranger to it. This can be especially true when words come out of our mouths (or from a keyboard) on topics we care about.

    Our passion, our pride and our words can fly out at an alarming rate. We go toe-to-toe with anyone who wants to step up to the plate. Once done with the argument, we might feel that we came out on top. As a result, we boast about our great words. However, in times like that, most of us spoke emotionally or in the flesh, not in the Spirit.

    A Study of Revelation 2 & 3

    We live in a day and age where our culture shouts at us constantly. It screams at us non-stop. So many different voices — each one telling us what they think truly matters and what they think we should focus on. It’s overwhelming. It’s confusing. Who should we listen to? 

    We need Truth in order to navigate the world we live in and that Truth can only come from Jesus. In our world today, it’s critical that we focus on what Jesus had to say. He knows what is the ultimate best for us and shares it with us in His Word.
