Be honest, how often do you actually pray?
For most of us, prayer is the first thing to slip when life gets busy, and often the last thing we turn to when we're desperate. 🙏

In the final message from our Basics of the Faith series, Pastor Drew Webb tackles prayer head-on: why we should pray, what we should pray, and how we should pray, using the ACTS framework and the beautiful example of Nehemiah 9.

Whether prayer comes easily to you or feels like a struggle, this message offers a practical, biblical path forward. Watch/listen now and share with someone who needs to hear it! https://bit.ly/4yJ2V47

What comes to mind when you hear the word "worship"? For most of us, it's music. But worship is so much bigger than a song; it's a lifestyle, a posture of the heart. 🙌

In Part 13 of our Basics of the Faith series, Pastor Drew Webb walks through Isaiah 6:1-8, where the prophet Isaiah encounters God on His throne, to unpack what true worship really looks like.

Whether you've been a Christian for years or you're just starting to explore what worship means, this message will challenge you to respond to God with everything you are. Watch/listen now and share with someone who needs to hear it! 💬👇

Did you know money is mentioned almost 2,200 times in the Bible? That's more than faith, prayer, and love... combined. Scripture has a lot to say about our relationship with money, and this week Pastor Drew Webb tackled it head-on in our Basics of the Faith series.

Here's what we dug into:
😊 Giving is personal; it's proportionate to how God has blessed you, not a fixed rule.
🪙 How you handle a little money predicts how you'll handle a lot.
🤫 Real generosity is quiet; it's for God's eyes, not applause.
🧭 Generous people plan their giving AND stay ready to respond when compassion moves them.

Did you know the fruit of the Spirit isn't something you slowly earn — it's planted in you the moment you're saved? This message walks through Galatians 5 and shows how love, joy, and peace equip us to actually serve the people around us.

Wherever you are, God has a ministry for you. 🙏

Watch the full message from guest speaker Dave Elmore and let us know what stood out to you.

This message examines the fruit of the Spirit as described in Galatians 5:22-23 and explains why it is planted in a believer's life at the moment of salvation rather than developing gradually over years of spiritual maturity. Drawing a direct contrast with the works of the flesh listed earlier in...

Have you ever wondered why we baptize by immersion, or what's really happening when we take communion? 💧🍞

In this week's message, "Basics of the Faith Part 9: The Ordinances" Pastor Drew Webb walks through the two practices Jesus gave His Church:

💧 Baptism: foreshadowed in Noah's flood, practiced by John the Baptist, and modeled by Jesus Himself
🕊️ Believer's Baptism: why faith always comes before baptism, and why we baptize by immersion
🍞 Communion: traced back to Melchizedek's bread and wine and the Passover lamb
✝️ Grace Alone: why these ordinances are symbols of salvation, not the means of it
🤝 Coming to the Table with unity, care, and self-examination

Whether you're brand new to church or have been baptized for years, this message will deepen your understanding of what these practices mean and why we do them.

What did Jesus mean when He said "go and make disciples"?

In this message from Matthew 28:16-20, Pastor Drew Webb walks us through the Great Commission — Jesus' final instructions to His followers before He ascended into heaven.

This is a great reminder that the Great Commission isn't just for pastors and overseas missionaries — it's for every one of us, wherever God has placed us.

Do you lean more toward grace or more toward truth? 🤔

Our culture pushes us to pick one camp: uncompromising truth that lacks love, or total tolerance that discards truth altogether. But Scripture points us to something better — Jesus, who was 100% grace and 100% truth at the same time.

In this message from our "Basics of the Faith" series, Pastor Drew Webb walks through:
🕊️ What biblical grace is — unmerited favor rooted in God's own character
⚖️ What biblical truth is — that which corresponds to reality, embodied fully in Christ
🚫 What happens when we live out of balance (compromise on one side, legalism on the other)
💧 How Jesus modeled both perfectly with the Samaritan woman at the well
🌱 What Ephesians 4:15 means by "speaking the truth in love"

Take a few minutes to watch/listen and consider: which way do you naturally lean, and how is God inviting you to grow?

Why do we even need to be saved? 🤔

That's the question Pastor Drew Webb tackles in this week's "Basics of the Faith" message from Romans 3:21-26. Starting with the story of Martin Luther nailing his 95 Theses to the church door in 1517, this teaching walks through why salvation is necessary, what it actually saves us from, and how it's received.

Here's what we dig into:
⚡ God is completely holy — and humanity is completely unholy. That tension is the whole reason salvation matters.
✝️ Penal Substitutionary Atonement — how Jesus took the punishment we deserved so we could be made right with God.
⚖️ The 3 stages of salvation: Justification (saved from sin's penalty), Sanctification (saved from sin's power), and Glorification (saved from sin's presence).
🎁 The 5 Solas of the Reformation — how we're saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.

If you've ever wondered whether your salvation is secure, or what the Bible actually teaches about being "saved," this message will give you a clear, biblical foundation.

Have you ever wondered how we actually got the Bible — and why we can trust it's true? 📖

This week, Pastor Drew Webb takes us on a journey that starts with a shepherd chasing a stray goat into a cave near the Dead Sea in 1947 and ends with practical tools you can use starting today to grow closer to God through His Word.

Along the way, we discover:
📜 How the Dead Sea Scrolls confirm the reliability of Scripture
✝️ How the Old and New Testament Canon came together
💨 What it means that the Bible is "breathed out" by God
✅ Why we believe Scripture is inerrant (without error)
🔍 How the Bible's central message is clear to every believer
🛠️ How Scripture equips us for every good work
✋ 5 practical ways to engage God's Word: hearing, reading, studying, memorizing, and meditating

"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." — 2 Timothy 3:16

Whether you missed it live or want to revisit it, we hope this message strengthens your confidence in God's Word.
