  1. Seek Wisdom

    Leave a Comment
    Seek Wisdom — a word from Pastor Tony D'Amico from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Seek Wisdom to Make the Right Choices. Applying wisdom to our lives always involves consistent engagement with the Word."

    As we continue in our spiritual walks, Proverbs (Chapter 2) provides lessons for us on the value of wisdom. At the same time, it reveals that wisdom protects us and guides us away from wrong decisions and people who want to lead us astray. Wisdom isn’t merely intellectual. We can certainly read, know, and even teach about it. However, it has to be applied to our actions as well to affect our lives.

  2. The Cup of Blessing

    The Cup of Blessing — a word by Pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "how richly blessed we are to be His children. It always goes far beyond the material blessing of His provision"

    “Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine. The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance!” — Psalm 16:5-6

    Have you ever wondered where your life might be apart from knowing Jesus as your Savior? If not, spend a moment pondering what that might have looked like.

    It certainly doesn’t take long to realize how richly blessed we are to be His children. It always goes far beyond the material blessing of His provision. We no doubt find that in our homes or aligning with our interests. Looking deeper, however, we also see a life filled with grace, forgiveness, purpose, hope, and beauty.

  3. 20/20 Vision

    20/20 Vision – a word by Pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, Utah. "clarity, joy, and purpose that only He can bring. Pray to Him, offer away — you’re about to live a life of 20/20 vision."

    “O Lord, I give my life to you.” — Psalm 25:1

    This is undoubtedly the most profound prayer of my heart. It’s a simple little sentence found at the top of Psalm 25 — “O Lord, I give my life to you.”

    Christian, is there anyone (or anything) more wonderful, more powerful, more satisfying than Jesus to give our lives to?

  4. Entrusted

    Entrusted – a word by Pastor Bill Young from the Rock Church in Draper, UT. “Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.”

    “Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.” — Luke 12:48

    Recently, I taught a message from Romans 3:1-8. Those verses are clear. God entrusts us with His Word. In fact, as disciples, we must unapologetically share the Good News of the Gospel of Grace to a lost world.

    If we want to see lives changed, we need to take personal responsibility for this charge. But, if you are like me, we can often feel like Moses when he complained, “O Lord, please send someone else to do it.” — Exodus 4:13 (NIV84)

  5. “My” Gospel??

    Leave a Comment
    “My” Gospel?? – a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. “God’s gospel” or “the Gospel of Jesus,” the Apostle Paul said, “my gospel.” This has naturally confused some people as they first read it."

    In Romans 2:16, rather than say “God’s gospel” or “the Gospel of Jesus,” the Apostle Paul said, “my gospel.” This has naturally confused some people as they first read it.

    Throughout Paul’s many epistles, he writes the phrase “my gospel.” Additionally, he also notes “the Gospel of God” numerous times — including in Romans 1:1. In that verse, Paul said He was an Apostle of the Gospel of God.

  6. Doctrine?

    Doctrine? A word by Pastor Billy Johnson from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Not to mention, how do we know our church doctrine is correct and theirs is wrong? Those are absolutely all great questions."

    One of my best friends recently moved to a small town in South Dakota. He asked me if I could help him find a church there. After I did a quick Google search I was amazed to find 34 churches in this “small” town! I also visited some of their websites and read their statements of faith, values, leadership details, etc. In the end, I was able to categorize those 34 churches into three separate groups:

    • Churches I wouldn’t even consider going to 
    • Churches I’d visit because they’re historically biblical 
    • “Proceed-with-caution” churches

  7. Follow

    Follow – a word by Pastor Steve McInroy from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "When I choose to follow Jesus (ahead of all the other things vying for my attention) I find a clarity not found anywhere else."

    There are plenty of things to follow these days. A few that come to mind are: news, sports, popular trends, social media and music. Without a doubt, the list is endless. As I’ve thought about it, I’ve realized something. When I choose to follow Jesus (ahead of all the other things vying for my attention) I find a clarity not found anywhere else. It reminds me of these verses:

    “And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.”— Colossians 2:6-7 (NLT)
