Considering Reopening our Church by The Rock Church

Hello, Rock Church,

As you may have heard, the governor of Utah announced on Wednesday (May 6, 2020) that churches could start meeting again (provided they follow basic social distancing guidelines). The Rock Pastors have been reading through these guidelines, talking with doctors and state officials, and praying. We are currently considering reopening our church sometime in June. There will obviously be countless details to figure out in the coming weeks. We need God’s wisdom and guidance through all of this.

Having said that, there are some things we want you to know during this process:

Get Your Eyes on Jesus — Sing to Him + NEWS by The Rock Church

Psalm 96 tells us over and over to sing to the Lord. Maybe you are like me and have noticed how easy it is to have your eyes on yourself? One of the quickest ways to get your eyes on Jesus is to sing to Him.

Today, find ways to sing to Jesus. Tune in to a local Christian radio station, find a worship playlist on Spotify or even go to therockmusic.org and listen to worship music for free. Sing to the Lord. Publish His glorious deeds.

In the Midst of the Chaos by Caleb Yetton

This has certainly been an interesting couple of months in our history, am I right? Our typical routines were thrown out the window and we were forced to adjust on the fly. The Lord recently used my nearly two-year old daughter, Joan, to teach me a valuable lesson in the midst of the chaos.

The Spirit of God Lives in You by admin

You and I are the Church — we don’t need brick and mortar. We can have church wherever we are because the Spirit of God lives in us. He has been so good to us!

The Apostle Paul asked the Believers in Corinth, “Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?” How exciting is it that we are the body of Christ? We are His temple, not a building.

More Time for God’s Word by admin

Over the last two months of self-distancing and home quarantine, we’ve never had more time on our hands. My family and I have certainly enjoyed this extra time together. Aside from the fact that I have watched more princess and super hero movies than most people have seen in a lifetime, I’d say things are going okay. As I ponder this extra time that has fallen into many of our laps, I think it’s worth asking ourselves, “Has this season allowed me to spend more time with God and His Word?”

Consider it Pure Joy Whenever you Face Trials by admin

Is there any way to find a blessing in the midst of all the difficulties we’re facing? I say, “Yes!” — and so does the book of James. James (Chapter 1) says that we can consider it pure joy whenever we face trials. 

God teaches us through our trials. I want to encourage you that even though things get hard, there are blessings.

Strength to Weather the Storm + What’s Happening by The Rock Church

I have a thought for you from the book of Ruth. Ruth’s mother-in-law, Naomi, experienced tragedy after tragedy. But, Naomi insightfully understood that everything that happened in her life was from the hand of the Lord. This gave her strength in the midst of tragedy. 

As Christians, we need to understand that God is in control of both the good things and the troubles that are in our lives. That should give us the strength we need to weather the trials and storms that come.

Tomorrow Will be Anxious for Itself by Caleb Yetton

With all that is going on in our world right now, it can be easy to find a million things to be anxious about. If you’re like me, you can end up worrying about way more than you can handle. You try to plan out your next steps, days, weeks and even months — and you set your hope in those plans.

Christian, we don’t know what tomorrow holds — it will be anxious for itself. But, we should remember who holds our future. We should trust our Perfect Father. He will provide us with all that we need (not what we want) for the future.
