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.

Heavenly FAQ's

Most people have questions about heaven, but they don’t know where to go for answers. Having an understanding of heavenly realities can have a profound, practical impact on our day-to-day lives. In this message, Pastor Bill will tackle the most common questions people ask about heaven. In doing so, he will help you prepare for eternity with God in paradise. He’ll look at questions like: Will we recognize each other in heaven? Won’t remembering past make heaven miserable? What about babies that die? How about those who have never heard of Jesus? And ,of course, do all dogs go to heaven? And many more...

From Series: "Heaven"

Someone once said, "You can be so heavenly minded, you’re no earthly good." If that is true, why talk about heaven at all? Who cares anyway? The truth is, nothing could be more relevant than our diligent study of heaven. Why do I say that? Because the Bible contains close to 500 references to heaven!  It’s important. Our study will answers questions like: What is heaven like? Why does it matter? What happens the second after I die? What about the Judgment and Resurrection? What about "The New Earth"? No matter where you find yourself in your spiritual journey, a clear Biblical understanding of the truths about heaven can benefit you and help prepare you for an eternity with God in Paradise. Join us for four weeks of HEAVEN!
