## Resource

In this sermon podcast, we launch a brand new sermon series called Asking For a Friend —where we take on some of the toughest and most honest questions people are asking about life and faith. And we're starting with a big one: Can I trust the Bible? Whether you've wrestled with that question yourself or know someone who has, this is a conversation that really matters. We believe the Bible is God's Word to us—our foundation for how we live, think, and follow Jesus—but is it actually trustworthy? In this message, we explore three key reasons we can trust the Bible: its accuracy, its reliability, and its relevance for our lives today. If you've ever had doubts, questions, or simply want a clearer understanding of Scripture, this conversation is for you.
