    Leave a Comment
    Easter 2022 - Join us for our special Easter weekend at The Rock Church in Draper, UT.

    Easter is the most significant day in all of Christianity. On that first Easter morning, death was defeated, and eternal life was secured by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Join us and hear about the hope and confidence followers of Jesus have because of an empty tomb.

    “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.” 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

    Service Times and Location:

    Our two-week Easter series will be April 9/10 & 16/17 at The Rock Church. (11630 S 700 E Draper, UT 84020) Saturdays at 6:00 p.m., Sundays at 9:30 & 11:15 a.m.

    Watch online at trc.life/liveFacebook live or The Rock Church app.

    Baptisms on Easter Weekend! (April 16/17)

    Baptisms will happen Easter weekend (Saturday, April 16 and Sunday, April 17) and we’re so excited! Why? Because it really is the first step of obedience for a Christian. It’s an outward expression of what has happened in your heart as you’ve accepted Jesus as your personal Savior.

    Interested in getting baptized? Contact Pastor Steve McInroy at mac@trc.life. You can pick up a Baptism Packet at the Connections Booth or visit http://www.experiencetherock.com/resources/baptism/). Sign up to get baptized at www.trc.life/baptism. Deadline to register is Sunday, April 10.

    If you have any questions, please email our office!

  2. Though The Earth Gives Way by

    Though The Earth Gives Way – a word by Pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress."

    “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” — Psalm 46:10-11

    Do you realize that it has been over two years since COVID entered our reality? Our last regular church service (before we temporarily closed) was March 8, 2020. Undeniably, the two years since then have been unlike anything I’ve ever known.

  3. Excited About Heaven by

    Excited About Heaven – a word from Pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "heaven will make life on this earth seem like a dirty outhouse. Indeed, there will be joy beyond our comprehension"

    “…set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” — Colossians 3:1-2 (NIV84)

    Not long ago, I taught about the reality of heaven. It reminded me how amazing heaven will be compared to this earth. We have such a blessing waiting for us. This truth hit home for me during a particularly powerful experience a few years ago.

  4. Finding Rest by

    Finding Rest – a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "All of these things keep us from finding rest on the ride. At times, we can fear that God Himself is asleep at the wheel."

    One of the more frustrating things for me in life is not being able to fall asleep. I don’t often have trouble with this, but I have gone through spells of it. Sometimes, it happens when I first get in bed. Other times, it’s when I wake up in the middle of the night (and can’t fall back to sleep). Instead of finding rest, my mind races, thinking about all there is to worry about in life. 

    In the still of the night, it’s so easy to reflect on those things that scare us or give us anxiety. Or, perhaps we go through items on the to-do list that we missed that day. Health, relationships, finances, parenting, news of war, what does the future hold? Admittedly, it can all feel paralyzing.

  5. Jesus Holds Me by

    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!

  6. Take Out the Trash by

    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.

  7. Perfectly Orchestrated by

    Leave a Comment
    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.”

  8. God Answers Prayers by

    Leave a Comment
    God Answers Prayers – a word from Pastor Steve McInroy from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Our prayers are absolutely from Him and for Him! Raising my victory banner with you, all the while knowing that God listens to our prayers."

    God answers prayers. Certainly, we’ve all experienced Him answering specific prayers in the past. In faith, we eagerly wait for unanswered prayers in the present. This verse helps me; the Bible says that God not only hears our prayers but actually listens to them. 

    “But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer.” — Psalm 66:19 (NLT)

  9. Listen to Him by

    Leave a Comment
    Listen to Him – a word from Pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "God gives us in the book of Proverbs. Those who listen to Jesus (His wisdom and the Holy Spirit) live in PEACE without FEAR!"

    “But all who listen to me will live in peace untroubled by fear of harm.” — Proverbs 1:33

    There is a way to live that leads to harm, fear and restlessness, isn’t there? Most of the time, it’s the result of us listening to ourselves, to lies, or to negative influences. We need to ask ourselves, “Who am I listening to?” when we get a pit in our stomachs and a tinge of fear rattling our emotions.

  10. Update on the State Legislature’s Decision Regarding the Mask Mandate by

    Leave a Comment

    Dear Rock Church,

    As you may know, the Utah House has overturned Salt Lake and Summit County mask mandates, effective immediately. The Utah House voted 45-29 (Friday morning) to end the locally-imposed COVID-19 mask mandates in Salt Lake and Summit counties.

    Accordingly, we will continue to leave the decision to wear a mask (or not) to your own good judgment. We will have masks available for anyone who would like one.
