    Leave a Comment
    The Rock Music's new single “All Around” (featuring Steele Croswhite) is now available on all streaming platforms.

    We’re thrilled to announce the release of our new single, “All Around” (featuring Steele Croswhite).

    This song was written in response to Philippians 4:8. Living in a world of uncertainty and troubling news can easily bog us down. Especially when we don’t fix our minds on things that are admirable, lovely or excellent. This verse challenges us to fix our eyes on what is TRUE! We need to think about what is good and worthy of praise.

  2. Freedom

    Leave a Comment
    Freedom – a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Wherever He walks, we must walk. But, this is a good and right freedom that satisfies. It is the full and abundant life that brings joy."

    “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” — Galatians 5:1

    Wow! That is an amazing truth for you and me — ones who walk in faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone for our salvation. You are free, so live like it. We are sons and daughters of a Holy God, not slaves who have to work for the favor of our Master. Indeed, we stand firmly free before a God who looks at us and is pleased — because of what Jesus has done.

    "The Kingdom Calling" A new series at The Rock Church in Draper, Utah. Jesus has called His Followers to a meaningful purpose and mission for this life. It’s a life-changing, global perspective that has been entrusted to all Christians.

    An Inspiring, New Series at The Rock Church

    What is the purpose of the Christian life? What has Jesus saved us for? As Believers, are we simply biding our time on this earth until we get to heaven …? Or, could there be a higher calling on our lives — a kingdom calling? We believe there is.

  4. A New Creation

    Leave a Comment
    A New Creation – a word by Pastor Bryan Edwards from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "You are a new creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17) You have been forgiven. (Ephesians 4:32) You are a saint. (Ephesians 2:19)"

    “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17

    As a Christian, you and I are no longer who we used to be. Because of Jesus Christ, all of our past sins and failures do not determine who we are. As a result, we’re no longer bound to any kind of pressures from our culture/society about who we NEED to be. As sons and daughters of Jesus, our identity is not determined by what others think or say about us. It is not determined by what we think of ourselves. In other words, our identity has been determined by God Himself. Unfortunately, there are times we can get so lost in our thoughts and expectations from the world, we can FORGET who we are! We need to be reminded of Truth in order to change the way we think of ourselves.

  5. “You’re already dead.”

    “You’re already dead.” – a word by Pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Christian, you’re already dead! We must embrace this fact. As a result, living this truth will allow us to live a life of faith,"

    “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.” — John 12:24-26

    Recently, I watched a World War II movie which had the following dialogue between two characters:

  6. God’s Judgment

    Leave a Comment
    God’s Judgment – a word by Pastor Billy Johnson from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "The atonement of Christ covers us (inside and out) and also protects us from God’s judgement. Make no mistake, judgement will come."

    When we think of Noah and the Ark, we imagine a coloring book page of a boat (with a happy Noah and happy animals), lots of primary colors and blue skies. However, this is not at all how it would have been. Everything about this event would have been surprising, terrifying and devastating. Most theologians believe this was the first-time rain had ever fallen on the earth. The experience of water coming from the heavens (and bursting forth from the ground) would have been a surprise, to say the least. People never had to seek shelter from rain before that day.

    Imagine yourself living during that time. Unstoppable water rushed everywhere. It was terrifying as it consumed everything in its path. Heavy debris and trees crushed and pinned anything and anyone. People screamed for their loved ones as homes and other structures broke apart. As a result, there was no escape, no safe place to go — except the Ark. The giant boat the “crazy” preacher had been building for 120 years. Noah had said it was going to happen.
