  1. Right Here, Right Now

    Right Here, Right Now – a word by Pastor Billy Johnson from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "God (in His infinite wisdom) determined to put you and me right here, right now. We are to glorify and enjoy Him. He also prepared good works"

    Do you realize that God could have chosen any time in history for you to live? Not only that, but He could have placed you in any geographical location to live your days. However, in His perfect sovereignty, He chose to put you right here, right now, for a specific reason.

    In Acts 17:26 (ESV), Paul tells the deep-thinking Greeks that God “made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place.”

  2. It Shall Not Return Empty

    "so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose," – a word from Pastor Billy Johnson from The Rock Church in Draper, UT.

    “so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” — Isaiah 55:11

    If you’re like my family and me, you take in and process a lot of words throughout the week. These words come to us through various means, whether reading books, watching the news, or listening to podcasts or sermons. We certainly live in a time when we hear words constantly. 

    For all of this reading and listening, God promises that only His Word will fulfill His purpose in authentic spiritual growth.

  3. The Word is a Spectacular Gift

    The Word is a Spectacular Gift – a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "I can quickly take for granted what a spectacular gift I have in unfettered access to the Bible. I have always had multiple copies"

    The Rock Pastors recently visited the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. (with 50 other leaders from the M28 Alliance). This massive museum was full of enlightening insights about the Word of God. It was a very encouraging couple of days; we saw the incredible impact the Bible has had on our world’s history.

    During a museum tour, I heard something that impacted me. Throughout history, countless faithful Christians never held a Bible in their hands. Owning a Bible was not expected or viable for centuries (due to exorbitant cost, the churches’ guarded actions, or a genuine risk). Since the Reformation, the printing press, and tireless work by Bible translators (in the last couple hundred years), access to God’s Word has become commonplace.

  4. S.O.A.P.

    S.O.A.P. – a word by Pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "I have had a real boost in my quiet times and it’s because I have been using S.O.A.P. Not the soap you use to wash with, however."

    Lately, I have had a real boost in my quiet times and it’s because I have been using S.O.A.P. Not the soap you use to wash with, however. It’s a Bible study plan — let me explain. 

    S. – Scripture

    O. – Observation

    A. – Application

    P. – Prayer
