  1. A Lot on My Mind

    A Lot on My Mind – a word by Pastor Billy Johnson from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "I’ve never considered myself a person who worried or was anxious. But I’m learning I can hide it when I am. That’s not good. I shouldn’t bury or hide it."

    I know we’re all busy. So many things occupy our thoughts and time. Some seasons are certainly busier than others. I’m in one of those seasons of life right now. With it comes overthinking, under-sleeping, and a good dose of worrying.

    When I’ve got a lot going on, I make lists. To-do lists, to-buy lists, fix-it lists, need-to-schedule lists, calls-to-make lists, work lists, family lists, church lists…and on it goes. I even write my lists with a physical pen and paper!

  2. We Can Experience God’s Peace

    We Can Experience God’s Peace – a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Paul said we will experience God’s peace. It’s not presented as a “may or may not” scenario. He says you WILL experience God’s peace."

    I recently read Philippians 4:6-7 in a devotional. The NLT said it this way, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

    As I read this familiar verse, a few key phrases jumped out at me.

  3. Though The Earth Gives Way

    Though The Earth Gives Way – a word by Pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress."

    “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” — Psalm 46:10-11

    Do you realize that it has been over two years since COVID entered our reality? Our last regular church service (before we temporarily closed) was March 8, 2020. Undeniably, the two years since then have been unlike anything I’ve ever known.

  4. Listen to Him

    Listen to Him – a word from Pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "God gives us in the book of Proverbs. Those who listen to Jesus (His wisdom and the Holy Spirit) live in PEACE without FEAR!"

    “But all who listen to me will live in peace untroubled by fear of harm.” — Proverbs 1:33

    There is a way to live that leads to harm, fear and restlessness, isn’t there? Most of the time, it’s the result of us listening to ourselves, to lies, or to negative influences. We need to ask ourselves, “Who am I listening to?” when we get a pit in our stomachs and a tinge of fear rattling our emotions.

  5. Secure in Christ!

    Secure in Christ – a word by Pastor Steve McInroy from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "This same security will always be available for my children and grandchildren and it doesn’t depend on me. Woo Hoo — secure in Christ!"

    Being secure (or trying to find a sense of security) can sometimes seem impossible. This is true, even for our church. Over the years, we’ve had numerous trailers and items stolen from our property. If you can believe it, we’ve even had the church truck itself (and the catalytic converter) taken twice!
