    Christian, we don’t have to fear. Jesus has the power to set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying. We have the opportunity to live out that freedom, right now.

  4. Be in Faith by

    Be in Faith, a word by pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, Utah. "Fear is the opposite of faith, and God wants us to trust Him. Here are a few reminders to help you courageously face each new day that lies ahead:"

    Hello, Church!

    It’s obvious we are entering into uncharted territory and many people are confused and fearful of the future. That is understandable. But, let’s make sure we put our trust in God and direct our fears to Jesus. I love what it says in 2 Timothy 1:7, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.” Amen!

    Greetings, Rock Church!

    The Rock Pastors want to update you on where we are, in response to the rising concerns about the COVID-19 (coronavirus) in Salt Lake City and the United States.

    First of all, in an effort to ensure a healthy and safe environment for our entire church family, and in an effort to adhere to Governor Herbert’s recent request that large group meetings be limited to 100 people or less, we have decided to suspend all Rock Church services and large group meetings from now through the end of March.

  6. Our Response to Coronavirus (COVID-19) by

    Leave a Comment

    Hello Rock Church,
     
    We have been closely following the news related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) the last few weeks. Like many of you, we are thinking and praying about how to best prepare and protect our families and church. Some of you have asked what The Rock Church is doing (specifically) to prepare?      

    So i thought about this and how exposed are the older adults to this pandemic virus and the special cares they might because they are in high risk of getting infected.
     
    As your pastors, foremost, we have been praying for God’s protection and guidance (Philippians 4:6-7).  We must remember that the Lord is in charge of these events and they don’t change His love and care for us. With that said, He also directs us to prepare in the face of danger (Nehemiah 4:9).
