    As Christians, we shouldn’t be living in fear. We should be living to glorify Christ — especially now. Most of those around us are crippled with the fear of needing to be fully prepared. We know that apart from God, there will never be enough to sustain us. 

    Only in Jesus can we be fully prepared, kept safe and cared for. NOTHING will be able to separate us from the love of God, in Christ Jesus, our Lord

    Be in Faith, a word by pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, Utah. "Fear is the opposite of faith, and God wants us to trust Him. Here are a few reminders to help you courageously face each new day that lies ahead:"

    Hello, Church!

    It’s obvious we are entering into uncharted territory and many people are confused and fearful of the future. That is understandable.

  5. Daniel Was Greatly Loved and So Are We

    Greatly Love, a word by pastor Billy Johnson from The Rock Church in Draper, Utah. “O Daniel... At the beginning of your pleas for mercy a word went out, and I have come to tell it to you, for you are greatly loved."

    A while ago, I decided to read my Bible cover to cover. As I read through the book of Daniel, I took my time. I want to encourage you with one application I gleaned from Chapters 9 and 10.

    In chapter 9 verse 2, He writes, “I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years.” I appreciate how he understood God’s Word and believed Jeremiah’s writing to be reliable. He believed that God would keep His Word. What he read he believed. What he believed he applied.
