  1. The Purpose of Life

    Comments Off on The Purpose of Life
    The Purpose of Life — a word from Pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Unquestionably, he’s also speaking from the depths of suffering. He’s saying that if you know your purpose, you can get through anything"

    “For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?” – Ecclesiastes 6:12 (NIV).

    Let’s be honest. Life without purpose can certainly feel empty. I believe that with all my heart. Maybe you’ve felt that weight, too?

    Dr. Viktor E. Frankl was a Jewish psychiatrist who survived Nazi concentration camps. He wrote a powerful book called “Man’s Search for Meaning.” In it, he makes two unforgettable statements:

  2. Too Great For Me To Understand

    Comments Off on Too Great For Me To Understand
    Too Great For Me To Understand — a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Who are we that He would show us such great love and affection? Assuredly, it is too great for me to understand."

    “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!” — Psalm 139:6

    Psalm 139 is definitely one of my favorite chapters in the entire Bible. The picture that David paints of God’s goodness and closeness is so comforting. It is nearly impossible to read those words and not feel God’s love. Without a doubt, it truly is too great for me to understand!

    Do you feel like God is distant? Maybe you feel like He doesn’t understand you? Then, I would encourage you to read Psalm 139 and let His Truth change those thoughts.

  3. Pray Them Deeper

    Pray Them Deeper — a word by Pastor Bryan D. Edwards from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "it’s a beautiful thing to watch people fall more in love with Jesus. And it’s even more beautiful when your heart burns to pray them deeper"

    “For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him…” — Ephesians 1:15-17

    These verses recently gripped me as I read Ephesians. The Apostle Paul hears that the faith of the people in this church is strong. Their love for one another is obviously the real deal. Everything is definitely GREAT! But then, instead of moving on with a quick, spiritual high-five, Paul presses in. He tells them precisely what he’s praying for them.

  4. Feeling Stuck?

    Comments Off on Feeling Stuck?
    Feeling Stuck? — a word by Pastor Tony D'Amico from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "if you’re feeling stuck—awesome! Seriously. It’s a sign that you’re paying attention. the Lord is trying to shake something up in your life."

    Sometimes, following Jesus is hard, really hard. It can feel like you’re running a marathon uphill with ankle weights on. And you’d rather cruise down a smoothly paved street on a skateboard.

    You know what I’m talking about. There are seasons we go through. Even though you read your Bible consistently, it feels like it’s going in one ear and out the other. Granted, church has amazing worship, but your heart’s not in it. Your mind is all over the place. Yes, you love Jesus yet feel bored, tired, or even numb. And ultimately, you just feel spiritually stuck.
