Suffering by admin

“Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour.” — John 12:27

These were Jesus’ words before He was betrayed and crucified. If anyone knows about suffering, it’s Jesus. His suffering was foretold all the way back to the book of Genesis. Isaiah 53 calls Him the “Man of Sorrows”.

Set Free: Men’s Purity Seminar by The Rock Church

The idea of living a life of purity is rapidly fading (and will most likely will be gone in our lifetime) if God’s men don’t take a stand. Just like David’s “men of valor” helped him fight off the raiders of his time, we are calling men to a higher standard and challenging them to join us. We must act now!

This seminar is designed to help equip men in today’s battle against the enemy of our time. Each of us has a porn shop in our pocket and we need God’s help to lead us to victory. We need to live a life steeped in self-control and set free from a stained conscience. We need men to join with us like the army of God. Men who want to lead. Men who are willing to sacrifice for their families and our dying world. Men like you?

Please set aside this day for the Lord and bring someone with you. This is a free seminar and we’d love to have you join us: Saturday, November 19, 9:00 a.m. — 3:00 p.m., at The Rock Church in Draper (11630 S. 700 E.).

Strengthen by admin

“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.” — 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

I recently went on a retreat with some of the Draper pastors and deacons. It was a much-needed opportunity for us to get strengthened in the Lord. We were able to get away from the noise and busyness of day-to-day life. I’ve found that when we make time to simply focus on the One who gave us life, He always comes through with comfort and strength.

In the spirit of encouragement, I wanted to pass along an email that was recently sent to a few of our pastors in Draper. It so encouraged us that we wanted to pass it along to you.

October is Pastor Appreciation Month by The Rock Church

Did you know that October is Pastor Appreciation Month? It is! We love our Rock Pastors all year long, but during the month of October, we’d like to let them know it. Take a minute right now and think about how you could encourage one or all of the pastors at The Rock Church — it would mean so much to them! Being a pastor is hard work and it often goes unappreciated. These men work tirelessly to bless the lives of so many…teaching, counseling, planning, praying, shepherding….the list goes on and on. A note of encouragement would really make their day! You can find their email addresses on the Pastor-Staff page of our church web site so you can write them an email. Or, you can contact Brent Kendall for their home addresses to send them an actual letter! If you’d like to drop your note off in the Tithe Box or Connections Booth at your church location, we’ll be sure to get it to your pastor. Please don’t let this opportunity go by without saying, “Thank you” to the amazing pastors of our church!

Tested by admin

“His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron; until what he had said came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him.” — Psalm 105:18-19

In Genesis 37, the seventeen-year-old Joseph had a dream in which the sun, moon, and eleven stars all bowed down to him. His eleven brothers correctly interpreted that dream to mean that they would one day bow down to Joseph. That only increased their jealousy of him. Their hatred was rooted in their father’s favoritism. It prevented them from speaking nicely to Joseph.

Playground Lesson by admin

“Cast all your anxieties on Him, for He cares about you.” — 1 Peter 5:7

Over the years, I have found myself coming back to this tremendous truth almost daily. I am a very anxious person. Sometimes, it can overtake my brain in a paralyzing way. The promise in this verse has always helped remind me that I am not alone. It helps me see that God cares about my problems. He isn’t surprised that I could be burdened.

Family by Tony D'Amico

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been looking through many of the photos that my wife has taken since we started coming to The Rock Church back in 2004. We were putting a slide show together for the final service in Salt Lake City and since Shannon loves to document everything with her camera, it was huge blessing to look at it all.

Uncertain by admin

There will be times in life when you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, what you are supposed to be doing with your life. There will also be times when you have no idea where God might be leading you. Even though you pray, read your Bible, and get counsel, you don’t feel certain about your next step. Here is the key to understanding the uncertain situations in your life: Sometimes God will ask us for faith when we are demanding clarity. We tend to look at situations in our lives and say, “God, show me what to do.” or “Just give me a sign.” At these moments, when we don’t hear from God, I believe He might be telling us to exercise our faith.
