  2. Doctrine?

    Doctrine? A word by Pastor Billy Johnson from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Not to mention, how do we know our church doctrine is correct and theirs is wrong? Those are absolutely all great questions."

    One of my best friends recently moved to a small town in South Dakota. He asked me if I could help him find a church there. After I did a quick Google search I was amazed to find 34 churches in this “small” town! I also visited some of their websites and read their statements of faith, values, leadership details, etc. In the end, I was able to categorize those 34 churches into three separate groups:

    • Churches I wouldn’t even consider going to 
    • Churches I’d visit because they’re historically biblical 
    • “Proceed-with-caution” churches

  3. 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.

  4. The Word is a Spectacular Gift

    The Word is a Spectacular Gift – a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "I can quickly take for granted what a spectacular gift I have in unfettered access to the Bible. I have always had multiple copies"

    The Rock Pastors recently visited the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. (with 50 other leaders from the M28 Alliance). This massive museum was full of enlightening insights about the Word of God. It was a very encouraging couple of days; we saw the incredible impact the Bible has had on our world’s history.

    During a museum tour, I heard something that impacted me. Throughout history, countless faithful Christians never held a Bible in their hands. Owning a Bible was not expected or viable for centuries (due to exorbitant cost, the churches’ guarded actions, or a genuine risk). Since the Reformation, the printing press, and tireless work by Bible translators (in the last couple hundred years), access to God’s Word has become commonplace.

  5. Jesus is a Promise Keeper

    Jesus is a Promise Keeper – a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "We can look throughout the Bible and see how God fulfilled His promises and covenants through Jesus. Undeniably, Jesus is a Promise Keeper!"

    The Bible is amazing. It’s all one story that points to the New Covenant ushered in by Jesus Christ. From its first pages (with the brokenness and mess of human sin) God had His eyes on His ultimate promise to His people — Jesus. We can look throughout the Bible and see how God fulfilled His promises and covenants through Jesus. Undeniably, Jesus is a Promise Keeper!
