  1. Jesus Saves

    Comments Off on Jesus Saves
    Jesus Saves — a word by Pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "I visited with him in the hospital, we talked of eternity. Along with that, we discussed healing and being with Jesus."

    “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” (1 John 5:13)

    With Christmas just a couple weeks away, I’ve been contemplating eternal matters. I’d like to share two different true stories that I experienced a few years ago. They are similar stories but have different endings. Both accounts involve funerals. One involved someone I’d never met, the other a dear friend.

  2. 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)

  3. Encourage Others

    Encourage Others – a word by Pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Can I encourage you as well? Don’t give up if you feel worn out, inadequate, or ineffective in the Gospel. We will eventually reap"

    “But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called ‘Today,’ so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.”  (Hebrews 3:13 NIV84)

    In a recent message I taught, I shared about the power and importance of encouraging others. Consequently, I then remembered a story about a man who often woke up on Sunday mornings and did not feel like attending church. “It’s boring, and the people don’t like me,” he protested. “Then why go at all?” he was asked. “Well, I have to go. I’m the pastor.”
