  1. Pray and Post a Guard

    Comments Off on Pray and Post a Guard
    Pray and Post a Guard — a word by Pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Nehemiah’s response is one of my favorites in all Scripture: “We prayed to our God and posted a guard. ”That’s it. Prayer and action."

    Nehemiah 4:9 — “But we prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat.”

    At our Men’s Nights this year, we’ve been studying Nehemiah. He returns to Jerusalem to rebuild the wall — and immediately faces opposition. Enemies threaten, intimidate, and scheme. Nehemiah’s response is one of my favorites in all Scripture: “We prayed to our God and posted a guard.”

  2. Seek Wisdom

    Seek Wisdom — a word from Pastor Tony D'Amico from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Seek Wisdom to Make the Right Choices. Applying wisdom to our lives always involves consistent engagement with the Word."

    As we continue in our spiritual walks, Proverbs (Chapter 2) provides lessons for us on the value of wisdom. At the same time, it reveals that wisdom protects us and guides us away from wrong decisions and people who want to lead us astray. Wisdom isn’t merely intellectual. We can certainly read, know, and even teach about it. However, it has to be applied to our actions as well to affect our lives.
