  1. 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.

  2. Remain

    Remain – a word by Pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Have you ever seen a branch “work” to remain on a vine? Ever notice a branch wrestle, writhe, and labor? Of course not!"

    “Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.” — John 15:4-5

    I recently read through The One Year Bible and found these verses in John; they are perhaps among my favorites. These words come from our Savior Jesus. They remind me, quite simply, that “fruit” produced in our lives comes through abiding and resting in Him.
