  1. Life-Changing Prayer

    Comments Off on Life-Changing Prayer
    Life-Changing Prayer — a word by Pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "let’s be a people who pray big prayers. Those people who root themselves in love. Who trust in His provision as well as lean into His power."

    Ephesians 3:14a (NIV84) “For this reason I kneel before the Father…”

    Last Thursday, my wife (Mary) and I put our 20+ year-old furniture on the driveway with “FREE” signs attached. We then held hands and prayed, “Lord, have someone take these before the day is over.” Four hours later, a neighbor a few doors down claimed the well-worn couches for her daughter. Soon after, Mary and I held hands (again) and thanked the God who answers prayers!

  2. Mighty Ways

    Comments Off on Mighty Ways
    Mighty Ways — a word by Billy Johnson from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "God hasn’t used me in any of the “mighty ways” this broken world would recognize. I’m actually thankful for that."

    Ever since I became a follower of Christ, I’ve prayed that God would use me and others in mighty ways. There’s nothing wrong with this prayer. It’s a prayer that applies faith to a “Here am I, send me!” boldness. That is certainly not bad at all. However, I’ve prayed this prayer for over two decades. And a quick Google search of my name proves that God hasn’t used me in any of the “mighty ways” this broken world would recognize. I’m actually thankful for that.

  3. Grace Rules!

    Grace Rules! – a word by Pastor Steve McInroy from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "... clarified how to live and discern right from wrong. Admittedly, you might even call it a love letter (in the form of rules) ..."

    Being told what to do seems acceptable (and popular). Sometimes I just want someone to tell me what to do or show me how to do it. YouTube (and many other social media avenues) provide countless how-to videos. Without looking too far, you can quickly learn how to fix your hair, car, appliances, relationships, and phone. Additionally, you can learn to sing, ski, jump on a pogo stick, swim, speak a foreign language, and exercise. And the list certainly goes on…

  4. Bold as a Lion

    Bold as a Lion – a word by Pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "as God’s children, we can be people of courage. Because of what God has done for us, we can be as bold as lions!"

    “The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.” — Proverbs 28:1

    Do you read the news? There is certainly a lot out there to cause worry and fear in my heart. So much is going on — from political unrest to droughts (and now flooding), shootings, economic news (inflation, the banking crisis, or interest rates), wars, rumors of wars, increasing wickedness, the love of many growing cold, etc. All that is happening locally, nationally, and globally naturally fills us with worry and fear.
