Basics: Believe - Chris Dillon, Lead Pastor 09 14 25

This week we explore the foundation of the Christian life: believing in Jesus and learning to be with Him daily. Faith begins with trusting Jesus as our Savior and Lord, but it grows as we spend time in His presence through prayer, Scripture, and other ancient spiritual practices. Belief is not less than intellectual ascent, but it’s always more. Believing in Jesus means trusting in Him and learning to be with Him. As a practical step, consider simplifying by removing one unnecessary distraction this week so you have space to focus on Him. Then, introduce one practice of abiding—like a short prayer, a Scripture reading, or a moment of silence each day—to deepen your connection with Jesus.
