  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.”

    That’s it. Prayer and action. Dependence and responsibility. They didn’t choose between spiritual and practical. Instead, they did both. Some people only pray. Others only act. Faithful believers do both.

  2. A Lot on My Mind

    A Lot on My Mind – a word by Pastor Billy Johnson from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "I’ve never considered myself a person who worried or was anxious. But I’m learning I can hide it when I am. That’s not good. I shouldn’t bury or hide it."

    I know we’re all busy. So many things occupy our thoughts and time. Some seasons are certainly busier than others. I’m in one of those seasons of life right now. With it comes overthinking, under-sleeping, and a good dose of worrying.

    When I’ve got a lot going on, I make lists. To-do lists, to-buy lists, fix-it lists, need-to-schedule lists, calls-to-make lists, work lists, family lists, church lists…and on it goes. I even write my lists with a physical pen and paper!

  3. We Can Experience God’s Peace

    We Can Experience God’s Peace – a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Paul said we will experience God’s peace. It’s not presented as a “may or may not” scenario. He says you WILL experience God’s peace."

    I recently read Philippians 4:6-7 in a devotional. The NLT said it this way, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

    As I read this familiar verse, a few key phrases jumped out at me.
