It’s Worth Your Time

It's Worth Your Time, a blog post by Mary Young from The Rock Christian Church in Draper Utah.

It can be hard to make the time to go to a women’s conference. There are so many demands on our time….places to go, people to see and things to do. Oftentimes, we just want to stay home, rather than try something new. We can struggle with insecurities like, “What if I don’t know anyone?”, “What if I don’t like the speaker?” or “Is it really going to be worth my time?”

I will answer that last question for you….yes, going to a women’s conference is always worth your time. Not because of the cute name tags and catered lunch. It’s because Jesus will be there. He’ll show up in the relationships around you and speak to you — through other women, the worship time and the messages you here.

Our Uniquely Yoked Women’s Conference was powerful and so full of His Truth — His heart for each one of us. Over half of the women attended had never been to a women’s conference at our church before. That’s so exciting because it means women are reaching out to connect with others and hear from Him.

Uniquely Yoked was centered around what it means to live in this world but not be of it. How to be a Christian woman who came come to Jesus when she is weary and tired and He will give her rest.

Morgan Thatcher’s messages were heartfelt, real and honest. She has walked with the Lord a long time. She’s dealt with very real (and difficult) struggles in her marriage and in relationships around her. She shared how as she has sat at His feet daily, in His Word, He has changed her. He has enabled her to become the woman He planned for her to be, amidst the challenges He allowed.

She challenged us to go to Him, to get the strength we need. It starts with a relationship with Him. The place for true and lasting change. She was honest about the worries we all have. Little ones and panic attack sized ones. No matter how we’re wired to handle the stress in our lives, He wants us to cry out to Him; we need to make the choice to lean into Him and then do battle against our flesh.

He also wants us to be content with what He has given us — NOT to compare who we are to anyone else. He has a plan just for you; He wants you to find out who He made you to be. She reminded us that God has people in our lives to help us grow. Sometimes it’s family members and sometimes it’s friends. You will become like those you spend time with so be careful. Choose wisely. He will use your relationships to cause great growth in your life (if you let Him).

The bottom line is that Truth will change you. Time in His Word will change you. Jesus will change you. From those teachings to the breakdown discussion groups to amazing food and a very special atmosphere, the Uniquely Yoked Women’s Conference changed lives. I’d strongly encourage you to watch the videos on-line. Grab a friend and watch them together — ask Jesus to meet you in that time and listen to what He has to say to you.

Dinosaurs and The Bible

Can you imagine man living with dinosaurs? In this fascinating segment we will discuss things like: What happened to the dinosaurs? What does the Bible say about them? Did they live with man? Why does it even matter? We will also learn that if we accept evolutionists theory on Dinosaurs then the Bible account MUST be false, and the Bible is wrong (and can be discounted as inconvenient). If today’s “experts” are correct about the dinosaurs, then God has no right to tell us how to live, we have no basis for morality, there is no such thing as sin, no future judgment to come and ultimately no need for a savior. Let’s take a look at the dinosaurs and see if God doesn’t have some BIG answers!

From Series: "God in Creation"

We’ve been told all our lives that the earth was formed “Millions and millions of years ago.” Even our favorite kid’s books claim that the earth is millions and millions of years old. In this series, pastor Bill Young presents compelling answers as he questions this claim! Is evolution a fact, theory, belief or religion? Proverbs 18:17 states, “The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward and questions him.” (NIV) It’s time we stood up for the truth found in the scriptures on this topic! The Goal of this series is to strengthen your faith and give you the tools you will need to defend the Biblical account of creation! The Bible tells us in Hebrews 11:3 “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible” (NIV) This series will help you to trust in Jesus Christ more and give you much needed confidence in your faith. Think about it, if the beginning of the Bible isn’t true, maybe the rest isn’t!! Satan knows that by denying God’s expressed miraculous account of creation it’s easier to deny his plan of salvation and then the truth of the whole Bible. Join us for this relevant, life-changing journey as we discover “God In Creation!”
