  1. Jesus in the Middle

    Jesus in the Middle – a word by Pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Allow Jesus to get in between you and your trials. Imagine Him stepping into the middle of your despair, grief, pain, or stress."

    As a pastor, I am for sure not immune to feeling overwhelmed by difficulties. Also, whether it’s physical, mental, or emotional, life can sometimes make me feel like I’m drowning.

    Perhaps the disciples felt this way. In fact, in the gospels of John, Mark, and Matthew, we are told how these fishers of men were overwhelmed with fear at the sight of their teacher walking on water through a storm. As a result, it says they were “terrified” because they thought they saw a ghost!

    What Do You Want? – a word from Pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Jesus IS asking us that very question each day, “What do you want ME to do for YOU?” Of course, He knows precisely what we want"

    We recently asked our kids for Christmas gift ideas. Some of them went above and beyond the call of duty. They sent us their “Wish List” from Amazon! Welcome to the technology age. This electronic wish list certainly proved to be very helpful. Specifically, it showed us that our kids took our request seriously; they knew what they wanted. I think God wants us to have the same heart attitude.
