In this kickoff message of our What We Believe and Why it Matters series, Pastor Aaron unpacks the truth that the God of the Bible is not distant or detached, but constantly present and active in our world and in our lives. His presence is the defining mark of our faith—and He invites us to trust Him, love Him, and live for Him.

Whether you’ve wrestled with doubt, struggled with distorted images of God, or simply longed to know Him more deeply, this message is a reminder that God still shows up, still speaks, still seeks, and still sends.
