  1. Understanding God’s Purposes

    Comments Off on Understanding God’s Purposes
    Understanding God’s Purposes — a word by Pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Will you submit to the plans and purposes of your incredible Father? What about even when life seems confusing?"

    “The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me.” — Psalm 138:8 (NIV84)

    “For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep…” — Acts 13:36 (NIV84)

    Life can oftentimes feel confusing. Even after being a Christian leader for over 40 years, I still find myself asking, “God, what are you doing?” or “God, what do you want ME to do?” Without question, I’m someone who likes to plan. And not having clarity on these questions (especially concerning our church’s direction) can be unsettling.

  2. The Paths We Pave

    Comments Off on The Paths We Pave
    The Paths We Pave — a word by Pastor Tony D'Amico from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "First, we need to recognize that the paths we pave matter! No matter how small, every decision has a direction (and consequence)."

    Proverbs 5:21-23 gives us a sober reminder: “For the Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes.”

    Think about the truth of that verse for a second. Without a doubt, we live in a world where it’s all too easy to curate a perfect image on social media. An absolutely perfect outward appearance. In fact, we edit our feeds and filter our photos. Along with that, we keep a smile on our faces and make our lives look picture-perfect. It happens not only online but also in real life. But, even if we fool our followers and neighbors, God isn’t deceived. He sees everything. Because of this, no filter, highlight reel, or act we put on for others can hide the truth from Him. We’ve exposed our motivations, mistakes, and struggles to the One who examines every step we take.
