  1. Purpose for the New Year

    Purpose for the New Year – a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church A lot of this personal analysis can be boiled down to re-evaluating two questions: “What is my purpose?” and “How do I fulfill that purpose?”

    A new year is upon us. For many, it’s a time for assessment, introspection and resolutions. A lot of this personal analysis can be boiled down to re-evaluating two questions: “What is my purpose?” and “How do I fulfill that purpose?”

    I believe the answer to those two questions is found in the Great Commandment (Matthew 22). Jesus said the greatest commandment of the law was (vs 37-38), “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.”

  2. A Worldview Assessment

    A Worldview Assessment – a word by Pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "In the biblical worldview, God lovingly created us in His image. However, in the naturalistic/evolutionary worldview, we are cosmic accidents"

    “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.” — Colossians 2:8

    A few weeks ago, The Rock pastors attended the M28 Alliance Pastor’s Conference. While there, we visited the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter in Kentucky. The exhibits, presentations, conversations and fellowship were great!

    One of the exhibits at the museum was on ultimate questions (or worldview questions). A topic we recently covered at church. These questions cover topics of existence, meaning, morality and destiny.

    "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. God’s Purpose

    God's Purpose, A Word by Pastor Bill Young

    “The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me…” — Psalm 138:8 (NIV84)

    “For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep.” — Acts 13:36 (NIV84)

    Sometimes life can get confusing. Even for me (as a Christian leader for over 35 years), I occasionally wonder, “God, what are you doing?” or “God, what do you want ME to do?” As a planner, I like to know the answers to both of these questions (especially as it relates to the direction our church is going). It can be somewhat unnerving to feel a bit “directionless” at times.
