Who is God?

It's one of life's most important questions, and it's where every solid foundation of faith must begin.

In this first message of our "Basics of the Faith" series, Pastor Drew Webb examines what the Bible teaches about God the Father. Together we explore God's nature as the eternal, triune God; His character as holy, just, and loving; and His works as Creator, Sustainer, Sovereign, and Savior.

Whether you're new to Christianity or have followed Christ for years, this message provides a biblical foundation for understanding who God is and why knowing Him matters.

Watch, listen, and join us as we begin this important journey through the basics of the Christian faith.

What happens when we try to help God fulfill His promises?

In Genesis 16, Sarai and Abram grow impatient waiting for God's promised son and take matters into their own hands. Their decision creates conflict, broken relationships, and deep suffering. Yet amid the turmoil, God pursues Hagar in the wilderness and reveals Himself as El Roi—the God who sees.

If you've ever struggled with waiting on God, this message offers encouragement to trust His faithfulness even when circumstances seem uncertain.

What does it mean to truly trust God?

In this week’s message, “Believing Loyalty,” we walk through Genesis 15 and Abram’s encounter with God. Abram is given incredible promises while facing very real fears, doubts, and limitations. Yet through it all, God reveals Himself as faithful and trustworthy.

Guest speaker, Drewe Zanki, explores how biblical faith is not just intellectual belief, but it is believing loyalty. Faith that produces action. Faith that remains loyal to God even in uncertainty. Faith that transforms the way we live.

Our culture celebrates influence, recognition, and self-promotion, but Jesus offers a completely different picture of greatness.

Pastor Drew Webb takes us to Mark 10:35–45 and shows how Jesus confronted the pride and ambition of His disciples while calling them to a life of humility and service.

Rather than seeking status and power, followers of Christ are called to embrace Kingdom greatness by serving others sacrificially and pointing people to Jesus.

Key Themes:
👑 The world’s definition of greatness vs. God’s
🙏 Humility instead of pride
❤️ Serving others in Christ’s name
✝️ Jesus giving His life as a ransom for many
🔥 Living differently from the culture around us

Jesus didn’t come to be served — He came to serve. And He calls us to follow His example.

From conflict to worship, Genesis 14 follows Abram's journey to rescue his nephew, refuse the wealth offered by the king of S***m, and an encounter with the priest-king of Salem, Melchizedek. Abram’s actions show what faith looks like in the middle of pressure, and Melchizedek’s appearance points forward to the greater priest-king, Jesus Christ.

What happens when fear takes control?

In Genesis 12:10–13:18, Abram’s journey reveals how fear can lead to compromise, poor decisions, and unintended consequences. Yet even in failure, God’s grace remains steady, and His promises stand firm.

Key Themes:

⚖️ Fear vs. Faith — A daily choice
⚠️ Fear’s consequences — Disobedience and compromise
🙌 God’s grace — Faithfulness despite failure
💰 Prosperity’s test — Faith vs. self-interest
🌍 The promise renewed — God’s plan prevails

Be encouraged: your past failures do not cancel God’s faithfulness.

What happens when God calls you out of your comfort zone?

In Genesis 12:1–9, Abram is called to leave behind everything familiar and step into a future defined only by God’s promises. This message explores the powerful moment when God inaugurates His covenant with Abram—a covenant rooted in grace and guaranteed by God alone.

Key Themes:
🚶‍♂️ Faith in the unknown
📜 The promises of the Abrahamic Covenant
🙌 Obedience and worship as responses to God
🌍 God’s plan to bless all nations

Abram’s story isn’t just history—it’s an invitation. How will you respond when God calls?

As we close out the first 11 chapters of Genesis, we encounter a passage that might seem like just a list of names—but it carries deep significance. This genealogy bridges the gap between early humanity and the beginning of God’s covenant with Abraham.

Key Themes:
📜 God’s intentional plan through generations
⚖️ The perfect balance of justice and mercy
🌱 Grace working through imperfect people
🚶‍♂️ Trusting God’s direction, even when it’s unclear
🙏 Surrendering to God in life’s hardest moments

God is still writing His story—and He invites us to trust Him as part of it.
