  1. Right Here, Right Now

    Right Here, Right Now – a word by Pastor Billy Johnson from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "God (in His infinite wisdom) determined to put you and me right here, right now. We are to glorify and enjoy Him. He also prepared good works"

    Do you realize that God could have chosen any time in history for you to live? Not only that, but He could have placed you in any geographical location to live your days. However, in His perfect sovereignty, He chose to put you right here, right now, for a specific reason.

    In Acts 17:26 (ESV), Paul tells the deep-thinking Greeks that God “made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place.”

    Divine Appointments – A word by Pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Certainly, we can be like Philip the Evangelist. Let’s explain the Gospel to people (put down our phones) and look for divine appointments."

    “And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.” — Acts 8:29-31

    Last year, I took my family to a popular ice cream shop in Logan. The store was particularly busy, and the line snaked out of the shop. I grabbed a bench outside, and Krista and the kids got in line. As I sat, I noticed another dad claim a nearby seat as his family also got in line.

    Be Refreshed by God’s People – a word by Pastor Bryan Edwards from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "there is an incredible benefit when we devote ourselves to fellowship with God’s people (Acts 2:42). It strengthens our faith."

    Last week, the pastors and deacons of The Rock Church got away together. We went to Eden to spend some uninterrupted time together. For three days, we ate, sang, laughed, and prayed. We shared what the Lord was doing in our lives. There was even time for some brothers to golf and hike together. (It may not surprise you that I stayed back at the house to spend the afternoon with a cat who lived nearby.)
