  1. Will You Be My Neighbor?

    Will You Be My Neighbor? — a word by Pastor Steve McInroy from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "love our neighbors. This important Truth certainly seems elementary. It’s like learning the ABCs. It’s also incredibly challenging"

    When asked what the greatest (or most important) commandment was, Jesus said it was to love God and love your neighbor. 

    “Jesus answered … ‘And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.’” — Mark 12:29a – 31

    Chosen – a word by Pastor Billy Johnson from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "We shouldn’t grumble for not having the worldly positions and possessions others have. Instead, we need to thank God that we are His chosen"

    In Numbers 16, we read about some men who rebelled against Moses and Aaron. They were angry and envious of Moses and Aaron’s position among the congregation of Israel.
