  1. The Interest of Others

    Comments Off on The Interest of Others
    The Interest of Others — a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "are you just wrapped up entirely in your own life and world? Let’s specifically look for ways to be involved in others’ interests."

    “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Philippians 2:4

    Our world doesn’t understand this. We like to believe that we intrinsically look out for others. However, more often than not, we look to our own interests only. God calls believers to stand out from the world and its selfishness. The church should certainly look different in this area.

    Comments Off on Mr. Not-Home

    “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
    — Philippians 2:3-4

    I’m kind of a hobby guy, maybe you can relate. There are a lot of things I like to do. And there are even more things I would get into if I had extra time and money.

  3. The Circle of Blessing

    The Circle of Blessing — a word by Pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "when we walk along His path (inside the circle of blessing), we enjoy true fellowship with our Father. We know He is always the giver"

    “Make me walk along the path of your commands, for that is where my happiness is found.” — Psalm 119:35

    As people, we look for happiness in a variety of places. Often, we look for happiness in our hobbies, careers, or even our family and friends. Indeed, these things can contribute to joy and happiness for all of us. I, too, find much comfort in many of them.

    I love what the Psalmist prayed. Without a doubt, we find happiness in the Lord’s commands. What a wonderful truth and tremendous reminder to us all. Walking in the “path” of God’s commands means naturally living in obedience to His Word and fellowship with Him.

  4. Entrusted

    Entrusted – a word by Pastor Bill Young from the Rock Church in Draper, UT. “Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.”

    “Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.” — Luke 12:48

    Recently, I taught a message from Romans 3:1-8. Those verses are clear. God entrusts us with His Word. In fact, as disciples, we must unapologetically share the Good News of the Gospel of Grace to a lost world.

    If we want to see lives changed, we need to take personal responsibility for this charge. But, if you are like me, we can often feel like Moses when he complained, “O Lord, please send someone else to do it.” — Exodus 4:13 (NIV84)
