  1. Recall Who He Is and What He Has Done

    Recall Who He Is and What He Has Done — a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "So, how do we do that? How do we remind ourselves? This isn’t an exhaustive list, but these are some ways to recall God’s truth."

    I don’t know about you, but I need reminding often. I forget things so quickly. They go in one ear and out the other. Do you struggle with that? I think we certainly all do in our human nature. And I believe the writers of the New Testament knew that as well. Paul and Peter both wrote to tell the early Church to recall God’s truths. (2 Peter 1:12-13, Romans 15:15)

    The disciples also knew they needed reminding. They spent three years physically walking with Jesus, and it’s clear they always required a lot of reminders from our Lord. They knew what Jesus had taught them; they could indeed repeat it. However, many times throughout their days, He reminded them. It’s almost like they needed a good shake to recall His teachings.

  2. Reflections From Europe

    Reflections From Europe — a word from Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "I returned from a 10-day trip to Croatia. While we called it a mission trip, in most ways, it was more of a serving trip."

    Recently, my family and I returned from a 10-day trip to Croatia. While we called it a mission trip, in most ways, it was more of a serving trip. My family (and our team of 18) provided childcare for European missionaries so they could fully engage in a conference taught by Pastor Bill. They also got some much-needed relaxation. We watched over a lot of kiddos, swam, and played night games. Not to mention, we also got to eat good food and gelato. Consequently, I’d like to share a few reflections from the trip.

  4. Watermelon and Lawnmowers

    Leave a Comment
    Watermelons and Lawnmowers – a word by Pastor Bryan Edwards from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "My daughter saw Mr. Grant sitting in his lawn chair in his yard. She took her lunch (and a whole lotta watermelon) over to share with him."

    My next-door neighbor (Mr.Grant) is an 89-year-old firecracker. He loves Jesus and has endless opinions (as you can imagine an 89-year-old man would have). Recently, his wife of 70 years passed away. I can’t imagine his grief.

    Our family prays for him and loves him dearly; we offer to help him in any way we can. Unfortunately for us, he is one of them old boys who “doesn’t need any help from no one.” So, it can be difficult. Recently, however, I saw my children serve him in some beautiful ways.
