  1. Live Like Jesus

    Comments Off on Live Like Jesus
    Live Like Jesus — a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Our goal is to live like Jesus. However, we can only do it by God’s grace, freely poured out on His beloved children. It is by His grace,"

    “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” — Ephesians 5:1-2

    These are certainly some marvelous verses! The Apostle Paul is instructing Believers to live like Jesus — the image of the invisible God.

    Saved to Be Loved Forever — a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "It isn’t just to avoid God’s wrath. At the same time, salvation is for a reason. It is something for us to experience, FOREVER."

    “[God] raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages He might show the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.” — Ephesians 2:6-7 

    This verse is undeniably fantastic! I’d encourage you to meditate on it specifically this week. Just think about this glorious future you have in Christ in Heaven.

    Comments Off on The Purpose of Life
    The Purpose of Life — a word from Pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Unquestionably, he’s also speaking from the depths of suffering. He’s saying that if you know your purpose, you can get through anything"

    “For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?” – Ecclesiastes 6:12 (NIV).

    Let’s be honest. Life without purpose can certainly feel empty. I believe that with all my heart. Maybe you’ve felt that weight, too?

    Dr. Viktor E. Frankl was a Jewish psychiatrist who survived Nazi concentration camps. He wrote a powerful book called “Man’s Search for Meaning.” In it, he makes two unforgettable statements:
