  1. Excited About Heaven

    Leave a Comment
    Excited About Heaven – a word from Pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "heaven will make life on this earth seem like a dirty outhouse. Indeed, there will be joy beyond our comprehension"

    “…set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” — Colossians 3:1-2 (NIV84)

    Not long ago, I taught about the reality of heaven. It reminded me how amazing heaven will be compared to this earth. We have such a blessing waiting for us. This truth hit home for me during a particularly powerful experience a few years ago.

  2. Waiting

    Waiting – a word by Pastor Steve McInroy from The Rock Church in Draper UT. "Waiting for the Lord must be awfully important. I say this because it seems like almost everything in life is enveloped in waiting for Him."

    “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” — Psalm 27:14

    Waiting for the Lord must be awfully important. I say this because it seems like almost everything in life is enveloped in waiting for Him. Everyone waits. We wait not only for birth and death, but even on a daily basis, we wait. Think about it. Today you waited; tomorrow you will wait again. In other words, all of life’s ups and downs, all encouragements (and discouragements) happen, as we wait for the Lord.

  3. God’s Timing is Not Our Timing

    God’s Timing is Not Our Timing – a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "I was struck by this important idea — God’s timing is not our timing. This is a truth we often learn through difficult circumstances."

    I’ve been reading through the Exodus story this past week. I was struck by this important idea — God’s timing is not our timing. This is a truth we often learn through difficult circumstances. Certainly, this was no different for the Israelites. Though they were enslaved and tormented in Egypt, God was at work, fulfilling His promises. 

    “…the people of Israel groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help. Their cry for rescue from slavery came up to God. And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. God saw the people of Israel—and God knew.” — Exodus 2:23-25

    “Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!” Psalm 31:24 (ESV)

    We all experience times in our lives when we have to wait for something. There are times that are simply mundane, like waiting in line at the grocery store or at the bank. It could be waiting for something exciting, like going on a trip to Disneyland or a long awaited vacation to Europe. Or, it could be waiting for things that are not so exciting, like hearing back about a job interview or waiting to hear about medical test results.
