  1. See to It

    See to It – a word by Pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Everything around us is structured to give us a comfortable, wealthier or more fantastic life. Yet, with mouths wide open, we cry, “More!!"

    As a church, we have been studying the robust book of Hebrews. If you’ve listened to any of the sermons, you will have noticed that Hebrews comes with a ton of encouragement. But at the same time, it also has many warnings. Consider Hebrews 3:12: 

    “See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.”

    Over the years, I have found that this “turning away from God” isn’t always sudden. In my experience of following Jesus (for the better part of my life) I have found that it certainly CAN BE sudden. It can be something devastating to our life of faith, like adultery or addiction.

  2. Jesus Holds Me

    Jesus Holds Me – a word from Pastor Steve McInroy from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "We can easily feel defeated and helpless when we’re sick. God knows this and holds us close, reminding us, “don’t be afraid..."

    Without a doubt, I am convinced that Jesus holds me. This truth permeates the Bible (from Genesis to Revelation). Here’s a snippet of verses:

    • “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” — Isaiah 41:10
    • “Though they stumble, they never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.” — Psalm 37:24
    • “He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.” — Colossians 1:17

    I love, love, love these verses!

  3. One Year (and then some…)

    One Year (and then some…) a word by Pastor Bryan D. Edwards from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Since I gave you part one, I thought I’d give you part two. (Hey, who knows, maybe I’ll write a book one day?)"

    I am absolutely blown away by the responses from the first blog I sent out a few weeks ago. I have received so many encouraging emails, texts and phone calls from friends and loved ones about how helpful my thoughts were. Thank you for taking the time to read it. I’ve also received many inquiries about the other thoughts (I’d mentioned I’d written down). Since I gave you part one, I thought I’d give you part two. (Hey, who knows, maybe I’ll write a book one day?)

    Here are some more of my thoughts on grief.

  4. Secure in Christ!

    Secure in Christ – a word by Pastor Steve McInroy from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "This same security will always be available for my children and grandchildren and it doesn’t depend on me. Woo Hoo — secure in Christ!"

    Being secure (or trying to find a sense of security) can sometimes seem impossible. This is true, even for our church. Over the years, we’ve had numerous trailers and items stolen from our property. If you can believe it, we’ve even had the church truck itself (and the catalytic converter) taken twice!
