  1. An Amazing Covenant

    Comments Off on An Amazing Covenant
    An Amazing Covenant — a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "This ceremony and God’s ownership of the burden naturally point to the ultimate covenant ceremony. Indeed, the sacrifice of Jesus"

    “When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram…” — Genesis 15:17-18

    Genesis 15 shows an amazing covenant ceremony between God and Abram. God directs Abram to bring a heifer, a ram, and a goat. He is to cut each of them into two pieces and lay the sides opposite each other. This was a traditional covenant ceremony in the days of Abram. When two parties were about to enter into a contract, they would cut an animal (or animals) in two. Next, both parties would walk between the halves.

    It is Good to be Near God – a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "When gripped by grace, we experience abundant life. And then comes humility, obedience, and worship. Indeed, it is good to be near God."

    Our purpose is to live a life of worship. To know and be known by God. We are to walk in His grace and be changed by it. This means understanding who we are in God’s presence — that our life is not ours. When gripped by grace, we experience abundant life. And then comes humility, obedience, and worship. Indeed, it is good to be near God.

    A desire to be in God’s presence naturally fuels an authentic life of worship. It’s coming to a place where our hearts say, “God, everything else out there is a mirage. Only in Your presence is there life and fullness of joy.”
