Freedom From the Fear of Death + What’s Happening by admin

It’s easy to see all that is happening in our world and be fearful. But, our hope is in God. Our Lord has given us freedom. 

Christian, we don’t have to fear. Jesus has the power to set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying. We have the opportunity to live out that freedom, right now.

We Should Pray by admin

How do we, as Christians, find peace during this current Coronavirus crisis? First and foremost, we should pray. Praying is the antidote to our fear.

Paul gives us some timely advice in Philippians 4:6-7 which will help us guard our hearts and minds with the peace of God — a peace that surpasses all understanding.

Fear Not by The Rock Church

For I Am With You

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. — Isaiah 41:10

We live in unprecedented times. The threats of deadly disease, market crashes and global calamities can create a crisis of fear and panic throughout our world. It even reaches into the local church.

How do we respond when our lives get hit by trials and uncertainties? If we are not vigilant, fear is waiting and threatens to derail us from the plans God has for us. In this series, we will look into God’s Word. We’ll see what the Author of Life teaches us about overcoming our fears, trusting in His promises and walking with courage and hope.

Be in Faith by admin

Hello, Church!

It’s obvious we are entering into uncharted territory and many people are confused and fearful of the future. That is understandable. But, let’s make sure we put our trust in God and direct our fears to Jesus. I love what it says in 2 Timothy 1:7, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.” Amen!

Update on Coronavirus and Weekend Services by The Rock Church

Greetings, Rock Church!

The Rock Pastors want to update you on where we are, in response to the rising concerns about the COVID-19 (coronavirus) in Salt Lake City and the United States.

First of all, in an effort to ensure a healthy and safe environment for our entire church family, and in an effort to adhere to Governor Herbert’s recent request that large group meetings be limited to 100 people or less, we have decided to suspend all Rock Church services and large group meetings from now through the end of March.

Our Response to Coronavirus (COVID-19) by The Rock Church

Hello Rock Church,
 
We have been closely following the news related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) the last few weeks. Like many of you, we are thinking and praying about how to best prepare and protect our families and church. Some of you have asked what The Rock Church is doing (specifically) to prepare?      

So i thought about this and how exposed are the older adults to this pandemic virus and the special cares they might because they are in high risk of getting infected.
 
As your pastors, foremost, we have been praying for God’s protection and guidance (Philippians 4:6-7).  We must remember that the Lord is in charge of these events and they don’t change His love and care for us. With that said, He also directs us to prepare in the face of danger (Nehemiah 4:9).

I Don’t Know Who Needs to Hear This by Caleb Yetton

There is this trend on social media where people write “I don’t know who needs to hear this…” and then finish the phrase with a humorous or heartfelt tagline. With the use of that line, I have read some pretty hilarious things as well as overwhelmingly beautiful messages.
