  1. Pathway to Joy

    Leave a Comment
    Pathway to Joy – a word by Pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "this matters because humility is the pathway to joy. When we walk in humility, we walk in step with the Lord Jesus Christ.

    “Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” — Proverbs 11:2

    “For pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.” -Timothy Keller

    The dictionary defines pride as “a high or inordinate opinion of one’s own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in conduct, etc.”

    Pride is thinking only of yourself all the time. It bolsters attitudes and thoughts like: you “can’t be wrong” or you “have to be the best.” Inversely, pride rears its head when you think you are “always wrong” and “not good at anything.” In either scenario, your eyes are only on yourself.

  2. Delighting in God’s Word Series

    Leave a Comment
    A new sermon series at The Rock Church in Draper, UT. This twelve-week series will explore why God’s Word is certainly worthy of delighting in as it connects us to Jesus.

    A Sermon Series Based on Psalm 119

    “I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways. I will delight in your decrees and not forget your word.” Psalm 119:15-16 NLT

    What are you delighting in? What brings you joy or pleasure? When was the last time you truly adored something? To delight is to be greatly pleased, and Psalm 119 is full of this wonder. It is also the longest chapter in the Bible and likens His Word to honey for our lips and a lamp for our feet.

  3. Freedom

    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.

    John 3:17-18a “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned…”

    Thank the Lord for this truth — I need to remind myself of it daily!
