  2. Pathway to Joy

    Pathway to Joy – a word by Pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "this matters because humility is the pathway to joy. When we walk in humility, we walk in step with the Lord Jesus Christ.

    “Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” — Proverbs 11:2

    “For pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.” -Timothy Keller

    The dictionary defines pride as “a high or inordinate opinion of one’s own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in conduct, etc.”

    Pride is thinking only of yourself all the time. It bolsters attitudes and thoughts like: you “can’t be wrong” or you “have to be the best.” Inversely, pride rears its head when you think you are “always wrong” and “not good at anything.” In either scenario, your eyes are only on yourself.

  3. A Heart of Thanks

    A Heart of Thanks – a word by Pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "though He is pleased with our “service” to Him, what honors Him, what brings a smile to His face even more, is our heartfelt thanks to Him."

    “He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me….” — Psalm 50:23 (NIV84)

    I really love serving God. I absolutely mean it. My heart longs to do more for Him. I love serving His people and playing music for Him. I love knowing Him more and more. Each day, I seek to bring honor to God by serving Him. 

    That being said, this verse in Psalm 50 has recently really impacted me. Prior to verse 23, God reminds His people that though they “sacrifice” to Him, what really brings Him honor is giving thanks to Him.
