  1. Rescued By Grace Alone

    Comments Off on Rescued By Grace Alone
    Rescued By Grace Alone — a word by Pastor Bryan from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Grace Alone) means we don’t live like someone who believes they have achieved something great. Instead, we live like those rescued"

    We all love that feeling of accomplishment. Knowing we’ve put in some hard work and can see the good results. It’s true whether it’s a big win or just a job well done. Feeling good about our achievements (and even a little pat on our own back) is totally fine in many parts of life. But, when it comes to our salvation, the Bible makes it crystal clear. There’s absolutely nothing we contribute that gives us any room for our boasting. 

    The Latin phrase “Sola Gratia” (Grace Alone) often captures this core truth. It means our salvation is entirely a gift of God’s amazing grace. It’s certainly not a reward for anything we’ve done.

    But Let the One Who Boasts… — a word by Pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord,"

    “This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord.” — Jeremiah 9:23-24

    Without a doubt, we live in a culture full of boasting, don’t we? There is no need to go further than our phones, computers, news feeds, billboards, television, radio (or even our mirrors) to see how prevalent boasting is.
