  1. Jesus Holds Me

    Leave a Comment
    Jesus Holds Me – a word from Pastor Steve McInroy from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "We can easily feel defeated and helpless when we’re sick. God knows this and holds us close, reminding us, “don’t be afraid..."

    Without a doubt, I am convinced that Jesus holds me. This truth permeates the Bible (from Genesis to Revelation). Here’s a snippet of verses:

    • “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” — Isaiah 41:10
    • “Though they stumble, they never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.” — Psalm 37:24
    • “He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.” — Colossians 1:17

    I love, love, love these verses!

  2. Take Out the Trash

    Take Out the Trash – a word from Pastor Tony D'Amico from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "We cannot fill a space that is already full. Take out the trash in your life and let Jesus Christ fill you up!"

    Every once in a while, I go through all the “stuff” in my house. I take inventory of things that are useful and decide what things are just taking up space. Then, I’ll put anything useless into a big pile and take it out to the trash. If we’re honest with ourselves, we all have “stuff” we need to take inventory of, don’t we? We need to know what’s useful and what’s not.

  3. Perfectly Orchestrated

    The Right Place at the Right Time – a word by Pastor Billy Johnson from The Rock Church in Draper Utah. "Your family, job, friends, neighbors and classmates — all of your relationships, were orchestrated by God. He has them right here, right now."

    I’m fascinated by the story about Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-40). An angel directed Philip to a certain road and chariot (that was passing by). One of the Ethiopian Queen’s court officials was in the chariot. He had returned from worship in Jerusalem. While he rode, he read the scroll of Isaiah out loud. 

    Philip ran to him and asked, “Do you understand what you’re reading?” The official replied, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” He invited Philip to sit with him. Philip then explained the Good News of Jesus Christ. The official saw some water and wanted to get baptized. As soon as Philip baptized him, the Bible tells us, “the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing.”
