  1. What’s Your Distraction?

    Comments Off on What’s Your Distraction?

    Nehemiah shows us something that most of us know — but don’t always want to admit. We rarely drift away from what matters because of just one massive decision. For the most part, we drift through small distractions, quiet compromises, and everyday busyness. And ultimately, those things slowly pull our attention away from God.

    When Nehemiah heard that enemies had broken down the walls of Jerusalem, he didn’t just feel bad and move on. Instead, he sat down, wept, fasted, and prayed. The burden became personal. That is often where purpose begins. Not with ego, ambition, or trying to be impressive. But with letting God break our hearts for something that matters.

    The Rule of Rehoboam — a word by Pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "When the rule of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him"

    “When the rule of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him. … 5 Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Thus says the LORD, ‘You abandoned me, so I have abandoned you to the hand of Shishak.’” — 2 Chronicles 12:1,5

    I recently read this story in 2 Chronicles 12:1-8. I encourage you to read the whole passage. In light of our King Jesus series, I thought there were some timely lessons from the rule of Rehoboam.

    Did you realize that this is a direct command from the Bible? Above all else! In other words, there is nothing more important than Guarding Your Heart. Period. What we allow in our hearts affects everything else in our lives.

    ReVive Leadership

    Are you a leader at The Rock Church? Are you interested in hearing some amazing (and very relevant) teachings about spiritual gifts? If you answered “yes” to those questions, have we got a morning planned for you! Plan on joining us on Saturday, February 20 (Draper location) at 9:00 a.m. We will spend time worshiping, praying and listening to some very practical messages from John Meyer (our Mountains West Regional Leader) about spiritual gifts in the church and in our lives as well. All are welcome — leaders are expected.
