Those who are wise will take all this to heart; they will see in our history the faithful love of the Lord.” Psalm 107:43
Recently, I had the privilege of speaking to our SLC location about the amazing things God has done through The Rock Church in 2015. When we look at our history of just one year, we truly see the faithful love of the Lord.

Church, we have just started a new year — 2016. Many people make resolutions at the start of a new year — to eat healthier or exercise more. A resolution is defined as “a firm decision to do something”. Church, could I challenge all of you to make the resolution that 2016 is the year you read God’s Word every day? The Scripture promises us many benefits from studying God’s Word.

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.” Isaiah 41:10 NIV
I trust you all had a Christ-filled Christmas! We have so much to be thankful for — God has been kind and faithful to us in 2015. Even though our church had its share of struggles and financial challenges, we made some amazing eternal investments this year that resulted in faith expanding, lives changing and eternity being different, since there are multiple similar systems like ChexSystems for instance TeleCheck can also be a reason why you was rejected for a new bank account.

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6
Christmas is upon us! What a wonderful time of year. I love getting to spend extra time with my family — laughing, eating and enjoying all the festivities. But, most of all, the Christmas season is a wonderful opportunity to think of Jesus’ purpose in coming to earth as a baby.

There have been times in my Christian walk where, if I am being honest, I have been tempted to think: “Why won’t God just answer my prayers?” I can tend to look at a situation and think I know what would be best and assume that I know what God should do. Really, how foolish is that?

“Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.” Colossians 4:2
Martyn Lloyd-Jones once said, “Always respond to every impulse to pray.” His words have stuck with me. I have impulses all the time. And I don’t know about you, but my first impulse isn’t always to pray. I have the impulse to sleep in another ten minutes, eat three more cinnamon rolls, sleep in another ten minutes, buy that pair of socks I don’t really need, or sleep in another ten minutes. Honestly, the impulse or desire to pray doesn’t always make the top of my list.

We’ve been using Planning Center Online for three years for our service plans and serving schedule, which has been tremendously successful. Over the last 18 months, PCO has released numerous applications that are fully integrated in order to give us a central location for church management. This is incredibly helpful in coordinating and uniting so much information into one database. We started using PCO Registrations for all event registrations PCO Resources for building usage needs this year.

Recently, I have been living inside of the Psalms, reading them over and over again. I just love how David wrote down his thoughts so poetically.
One of the Psalms that really spoke to me, was Psalm 40. David expressed what I believe is a scenario we all tend to experience when we first get saved.
First, in verses 40:1-3, God pulls us out of our old life and gives us a new song, new life, gives us salvation. Then, in verses 40:4-10, there is that exciting feeling we have knowing all of the great things that God has done for us — we proclaim it to the world. Next, in verses 40:11-15, we see the critics, the skeptics, the haters of God. The ones who start to attack our new found life with Him! They try to destroy, humiliate and shame us for loving God.
