  1. A Lot on My Mind

    Leave a Comment
    A Lot on My Mind – a word by Pastor Billy Johnson from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "I’ve never considered myself a person who worried or was anxious. But I’m learning I can hide it when I am. That’s not good. I shouldn’t bury or hide it."

    I know we’re all busy. So many things occupy our thoughts and time. Some seasons are certainly busier than others. I’m in one of those seasons of life right now. With it comes overthinking, under-sleeping, and a good dose of worrying.

    When I’ve got a lot going on, I make lists. To-do lists, to-buy lists, fix-it lists, need-to-schedule lists, calls-to-make lists, work lists, family lists, church lists…and on it goes. I even write my lists with a physical pen and paper!

  2. Purpose for the New Year

    Purpose for the New Year – a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church A lot of this personal analysis can be boiled down to re-evaluating two questions: “What is my purpose?” and “How do I fulfill that purpose?”

    A new year is upon us. For many, it’s a time for assessment, introspection and resolutions. A lot of this personal analysis can be boiled down to re-evaluating two questions: “What is my purpose?” and “How do I fulfill that purpose?”

    I believe the answer to those two questions is found in the Great Commandment (Matthew 22). Jesus said the greatest commandment of the law was (vs 37-38), “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.”

  3. Greatest Statement Ever

    Greatest Statement Ever – a word by Pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper UT. "Don’t let your familiarity with this story dull your heart. Jesus will save His people from their sins. Greatest Statement Ever."

    “But as [Joseph] considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” — Matthew 1:20-21

    Jesus will save His people from their sins. That might be the greatest statement anyone has ever made. Indeed, we remember this fact as we celebrate Christmas!
