    An Atheist, Buddhist and Christian Walk Into a Class - a word by pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper, Utah. “And I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ.”

    “And I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ.” — Philemon 1:6

    Recently, I had a chance to experience this verse firsthand. I was invited by a friend to speak to his class on the topic of Christianity. There were a number of unbelievers there, including an atheist and Buddhist. We spent the next two hours discussing their questions (related to the reliability of the Bible, science, the problem of evil, Jesus, questions about the character and nature of God and the Gospel). In fact, I was able to share the Gospel multiple times and invite the group to church!

    Strength in Weakness, a word by pastor Bill Young from The The Rock Church in Draper, Utah. "We can “plug into” the wrong power source. We do this by trusting in our religious piety or our good works. Both of these sources will fail us."

    “For when I am weak, then I am strong.” — 2 Corinthians 12:10b

    In Mark (Chapter 9), we see that Jesus took Peter, James and John to a mountain top. During their retreat, the nine remaining Disciples (who had been left on their own) were having a big problem! The father of a demon-possessed boy had come looking for Jesus and the Disciples were trying to help. But, they were failing miserably. To make things worse, the teachers of the Law were laughing and arguing with them.

    Jesus, The Servant King

    The Gospel of Mark tells the life story of the King who came not to be served, but to serve. It’s an exciting account of the Son of God that could speak to the Jews and the non-Jews of Mark’s day. In our study through the book of Mark, we’ll discover more about His servant life, His early ministry and the training of His disciples.

  7. A Higher Calling for our Families by

    A Higher Calling for our Families, a word by pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, Utah. "It will guide us in every decision that we make for our families. It will affect what we allow our kids to do, and see and be a part of."

    “Only take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. Make them known to your children and your children’s children— how on the day that you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, the Lord said to me, ‘Gather the people to me, that I may let them hear my words, so that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children so.’” — Deuteronomy 4:9-10
