  1. The Gospel

    Comments Off on The Gospel

    I am so very thankful for the Gospel. Without a doubt, it has entirely changed the course of my life. And even more incredible is to know that in faith, I believe the Gospel has changed the course of my eternal life. 

    Separation

    Before I came to know Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior, I was just like every person (who also inherited sin) since the fall of Adam and Eve. A life separated from God for all eternity. I can’t begin to express the enormity of that truth in this life. Or, let’s take it further into the almost incomprehensible eternal life. Forever! Early in my walk with God, the verse below absolutely wrecked me. And even now, when I read it, I almost gasp out loud. Like the sound you might make when you witness someone getting horribly injured.

  2. Divine Appointments

    Divine Appointments – A word by Pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Certainly, we can be like Philip the Evangelist. Let’s explain the Gospel to people (put down our phones) and look for divine appointments."

    “And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.” — Acts 8:29-31

    Last year, I took my family to a popular ice cream shop in Logan. The store was particularly busy, and the line snaked out of the shop. I grabbed a bench outside, and Krista and the kids got in line. As I sat, I noticed another dad claim a nearby seat as his family also got in line.

  3. One Year

    One Year – a word by Pastor Bryan D. Edwards from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "(for the first time in a year) like I was ready to write down some of the things I have learned as I’ve walked through the grief and loss..."

    On October 23, 2020, as I was sitting in the passenger seat of my father’s car, my dad went into cardiac arrest behind the wheel. This Saturday will mark one year since his passing. 

    This last year has been a whirlwind for me. In my mind and in my heart, every day has felt like I’m locked up inside of a room with a vacuum running amuck; it refuses to turn off.  (That is my best attempt to try and explain what we call “grief”.)

  4. What the Lord has Done

    What the Lord has Done – a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "I am so thankful to be reminded of what the Lord has done. He is so gracious and kind to me. Truly, He’s doing amazing things in our midst."

    I recently had the opportunity to attend the National Worship Leader Conference in Tennessee. Pastor Steele taught a workshop at the conference, so another brother and I decided to tag along to support him! During the week, we had a lot of fun being together. We talked about Jesus and laughed. Furthermore, we met several new friends and had numerous opportunities to tell people, “this is what the Lord has done in our lives.”
