  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.”

  2. For Such a Time as This

    For Such a Time as This – a word by Pasto Steve McInroy from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "perhaps you were created for such a time as this.”…We live in a country where we have the freedom to pursue and live out our faith."

    Every once in a while, I find myself in just the right place at just the right time. When I do, this verse comes to my mind,

    “Who knows if perhaps you were created for such a time as this.“ — Esther 4:14b

    I learned this verse from the Old Testament — in the story of Esther and her Uncle Mordecai. I encourage you to read the book of Esther. It’s a treasure of truth, highlighting God’s sovereignty and ability to turn the tables for His glory. Undeniably, God has good plans for us to walk in.

  3. Faith Test

    Faith Test – a word by Pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Jesus knows what’s around the corner for you. As with Joseph, He is building your character and your faith. Just like Joseph,"

    “These patriarchs were jealous of their brother Joseph, and they sold him to be a slave in Egypt. But God was with him and rescued him from all his troubles. And God gave him favor before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. God also gave Joseph unusual wisdom, so that Pharaoh appointed him governor over all of Egypt and put him in charge of the palace.” — Acts 7:9-10

    Bad news seems to be everywhere. Without a doubt, it’s hard to have faith when things look bad. There’s tremendous turmoil in the world around us, complicated health troubles, and incredibly hard days.
