  1. Royal Family by

    Royal family, a word by pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, Utah. "Praise Jesus, that He has brought us into His Royal family! But, Christian, do you ever feel like you don’t belong? Do you feel alone?"

    “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy” – 1 Peter 2:9-10

    Praise Jesus, that He has brought us into His Royal family! But, Christian, do you ever feel like you don’t belong? Do you feel alone? Do you feel like you’re unworthy? The Bible says you DO belong because God has shown you mercy. Not because of what you have been or what you’ve done but because of what Jesus did for you.

  2. Reputation for Faith by

    A Reputation for Faith, a word by pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, Utah. “Am I chasing a legacy or a reputation based on what I’ve done or on what can be seen?” or, “Am I confident that it’s my faith that leaves a lasting mark?”

    “All these people earned a good reputation because of their faith, yet none of them received all that God had promised.” — Hebrews 11:39 (NLT)

    I love this verse. As many of you know, it comes from the book of Hebrews — a book that boasts the great Hall of Faith heroes. Recently, as I was reading Hebrews, this verse spoke to me.

  5. An Atheist, Buddhist and Christian Walk Into a Class by

    An Atheist, Buddhist and Christian Walk Into a Class - a word by pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper, Utah. “And I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ.”

    “And I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ.” — Philemon 1:6

    Recently, I had a chance to experience this verse firsthand. I was invited by a friend to speak to his class on the topic of Christianity. There were a number of unbelievers there, including an atheist and Buddhist. We spent the next two hours discussing their questions (related to the reliability of the Bible, science, the problem of evil, Jesus, questions about the character and nature of God and the Gospel). In fact, I was able to share the Gospel multiple times and invite the group to church!

  6. Strength in Weakness by

    Strength in Weakness, a word by pastor Bill Young from The The Rock Church in Draper, Utah. "We can “plug into” the wrong power source. We do this by trusting in our religious piety or our good works. Both of these sources will fail us."

    “For when I am weak, then I am strong.” — 2 Corinthians 12:10b

    In Mark (Chapter 9), we see that Jesus took Peter, James and John to a mountain top. During their retreat, the nine remaining Disciples (who had been left on their own) were having a big problem! The father of a demon-possessed boy had come looking for Jesus and the Disciples were trying to help. But, they were failing miserably. To make things worse, the teachers of the Law were laughing and arguing with them.

    Jesus, The Servant King

    The Gospel of Mark tells the life story of the King who came not to be served, but to serve. It’s an exciting account of the Son of God that could speak to the Jews and the non-Jews of Mark’s day. In our study through the book of Mark, we’ll discover more about His servant life, His early ministry and the training of His disciples.
