    Finding Joy, a sermon series at The Rock Church in Utah

    We live in a world that constantly offers us ways to achieve happiness by improving our circumstances. Unfortunately, such happiness is always fleeting. It never lasts. In contrast, the Apostle Paul was finding joy in the midst of very difficult circumstances. How was he able to do that? He understood that true joy comes from Gospel-first relationships, goals, desires, and obedience. This ten-week series will emphasize that joy comes from pursuing God wholeheartedly, giving ourselves away, and learning to dwell on all that is good. Join us as we study the Book of Philippians together — where we’re finding joy in the journey.

    Eclipse A Word By Pastor Billy Johnson of The Rock Church in Utah

    “The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.” — Psalm 19:1

    Eclipse glasses? Check. Moon pies? Check. Last week, we all saw something incredible take place. We saw the sun, the moon, and the earth, perfectly align— creating a solar eclipse. Other than destroying the sun, moving the earth, or moving the moon, there was nothing that was going to stop the eclipse from happening. I read that “According to NASA, experiencing a total solar eclipse where you live happens about once in 375 years.” So, no matter how hard we try, or how hard we want it to happen, there is nothing we can do to align the sun, moon and earth to force an eclipse.

    Is it just me or are we living in a time when people seem to be more and more disgruntled at almost everything? Have you noticed it? What’s the big problem, anyway?

    Well, according to the “The Top Tens” list, the world’s top five problems are: Drug Abuse, War and Terrorism, Poverty, Population Growth, and Pollution. The list goes on; this is just the first five.

    Blessed in Worship, A Word by Pastor Steele Croswhite of The Rock Church in Salt Lake City Utah

    “Sing a new song to the Lord!
    Let the whole earth sing to the Lord!
    Sing to the Lord; praise his name.
    Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.
    Publish his glorious deeds among the nations.
    Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.” — Psalm 96:1-3

    These past two weeks have been incredibly encouraging in regard to worship music, praise, and how those things bring us together!

    Number of Stars, A Word by Pastor Josh Whitney of The Rock Church in Salt Lake City Utah

    The Bible is not a science textbook. But, when it speaks about science, it is 100% accurate. Evidence for this claim can be found in the stars.

    Did you know that before telescopes were invented, people counted the stars with just their eyes? They didn’t have TV, so they watched the stars and counted them. On a clear night, a person could see easily see a couple of thousand (with the naked eye).

    Romania Mission Trip

    In August, several members of The Rock Church will be traveling on a Jettly private plane to Romania to serve with the Casa Sperantei (The House of Hope) Ministry (located in Northwest Romania). This ministry targets six different villages in order to reach out to both Romanian and Roma (Gypsy) children/teens and their families. If ever by chance you visit London, here you’ll see these Earls Court serviced apartments which are in excellent location for a short stay in west London! If you will be travelling here using your private jet, make sure to have an aircraft maintenance company check your jet to make sure it is in good condition.

  7. God’s Purpose by

    God's Purpose, A Word by Pastor Bill Young

    “The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me…” — Psalm 138:8 (NIV84)

    “For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep.” — Acts 13:36 (NIV84)

    Sometimes life can get confusing. Even for me (as a Christian leader for over 35 years), I occasionally wonder, “God, what are you doing?” or “God, what do you want ME to do?” As a planner, I like to know the answers to both of these questions (especially as it relates to the direction our church is going). It can be somewhat unnerving to feel a bit “directionless” at times.
