A few weeks ago, I was contacted by a woman in our church who wanted to be baptized (even with everything going on around us). She was persistent in her request and not to be deterred.
Consequently, we baptized her and it was so much fun! She had such joy obeying Jesus in this way. We were overjoyed to grant her request.

As you may have heard, the governor of Utah announced on Wednesday (May 6, 2020) that churches could start meeting again (provided they follow basic social distancing guidelines). The Rock Pastors have been reading through these guidelines, talking with doctors and state officials, and praying. We are currently considering reopening our church sometime in June. There will obviously be countless details to figure out in the coming weeks. We need God’s wisdom and guidance through all of this.

I have a thought for you from the book of Ruth. Ruth’s mother-in-law, Naomi, experienced tragedy after tragedy. But, Naomi insightfully understood that everything that happened in her life was from the hand of the Lord. This gave her strength in the midst of tragedy.
As Christians, we need to understand that God is in control of both the good things and the troubles that are in our lives. That should give us the strength we need to weather the trials and storms that come.

The Rock Music is excited to announce the release of their latest single “The Lord Reigns”. This new worship song proclaims God’s sovereignty and Lordship along with His incredible majesty. These truths of who He is are certainly what we need to be reminded of at this time.
Songwriters Caleb and Kelsea Yetton have created an emotional anthem from the verses in Psalm 93. Seeing Jesus reign in such a way that His majesty and strength are His clothing — “That imagery intrigued me,” Caleb explained. He started to flesh out the song and then Kelsea helped him further shape the verses and the bridge. Together, they brought the song to life.

In our study through the book of Mark, we’ll discover more about Jesus’ servant life, His ministry and the training of His disciples.
