Aspire Church PodcastHere Am I | Part 3: Fear LessIn a world ruled by fear and fueled by endless headlines, God’s people are called to live differently. When the kings of the earth trembled, Isaiah heard a counter-cultural command: “Do not fear what they fear. The Lord Almighty is the One you are to regard as holy.” In this message, Pastor Gary Webber shows how faith in the face of fear becomes a declaration of hope in a despairing world—and how trusting the holiness of God can steady us amid cultural panic and personal anxiety.
2025-11-1730 minAspire Church PodcastHere Am I | Part 2: Cleansed and CalledWhen Isaiah entered the temple, it was just another day of worship—until he saw the Lord. In that moment, God's holiness revealed his sin, cleansed his lips, and forever changed his life. In this message, Pastor Gary Webber shows how God uses worship to reveal His glory, redeem our guilt, and empower us for His mission. God still calls imperfect people to proclaim His perfect message. When grace transforms our worship, our only response is, “Here I am — send me.”
2025-11-1035 minAspire Church PodcastHere Am I | Part 1: The Enemy WithinIsaiah’s ministry began in a nation that looked devout but was spiritually diseased. The people performed acts of worship while ignoring justice, truth, and compassion. In this opening message from the Here I Am series, Pastor Gary Webber reminds us that before God can use us to change the world around us, He must first cleanse the world within us. Only when the “enemy within” is exposed and forgiven can we say, “Here I am, send me.”

2019-06-0244 minAspire Church PodcastHome Field Advantage | Throwing StrikesMajor League baseball teams play 162 games during the regular season. Eighty-one games are played “away” and another 81 are played at home. Since 2004 the average MLB baseball team has won 54% percent of their home games. This “Home Field Advantage” comes, in part, because the host team has a better knowledge of the field and a friendly crowd cheering them on. But imagine if a baseball team only won games on the road and lost all of their home games. It wouldn’t take long for the crowd to thin out and the players to begin dreading coming home. This describes how many p...
2019-04-2839 minAspire Church Podcast30 Words | Come to Shut Down ReligionAt its best, religion is our attempt to get to God. At its worst, it is an effort to hide from God while attempting to manipulate and control others. Jesus did not come to give us a new religious system. He came to end religion by offering us a relationship with God that is not dependent on temples, priests, or sacrifices, but on God’s abundant grace and our faith in Him. Join us for part six of 30 Words, where Pastor Gary explores this most radical and unexpected gift of the Gospel.
2018-11-1133 minAspire Church Podcast30 Words | Jesus is God with UsYou cannot understand the Gospel as “good news” until you understand who Jesus is. And once you truly understand who Jesus is, there is no way you will ever understand the Gospel as anything other than good news! Jesus is not just a great teacher who established a world religion. He is God with skin on – God with us – God for us, not against us. Join us for part two of 30 Words where Pastor Gary will share three reasons why the Gospel must begin with Jesus.

It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” As we conclude our look at the life of the Apostle Paul and our Journey through the book of Acts, join Pastor Gary Webber as we consider how the unfinished story of Acts 28 invites us to continue Christ’s mission to the ends of the earth.
2018-09-0237 minAspire Church PodcastJourney to the Ends of the Earth | A Woman, a Slave and a GentileAs a good Jew, Paul woke up every morning and prayed a traditional Hebrew prayer that went something like this, "God, I thank You that You have not made me a Gentile, a slave, or a woman..." Ironically, the first three converts in the city of Philippi were, a wealthy woman, a poor slave girl, and a Gentile prison guard. Join us for Part Six of Journey to the Ends of the Earth, where Pastor Gary explores how the Gospel blows down social barriers and welcomes those some may be tempted to overlook.
2018-07-2236 minAspire Church PodcastJourney to the Ends of the Earth | Divine DetoursThe road of life is full of unexpected twists and turns. How we respond to those unforeseen detours says a lot about our faith. The Apostle Paul’s journey was certainly full of a lot of unanticipated diversions. Beginning with the Road to Damascus, Paul was constantly changing course, but rather than growing discouraged, Paul’s faith seemed to deepen with each change. What did Paul know that we need to understand as we face the unimaginable bends in the road ahead? Join us for part six of Journey to the Ends of the Earth, as Pastor Gary tries to answ...

You thought you understood what you had to do, how far you had to go, how much you had to pay, only to discover that more was required? Many of the early Gentiles Christians must have felt this way. Paul had told them that Jesus had accomplished everything required for their salvation. But other religious leaders came along and told them that they also had to follow a long list of Jewish customs and laws. From the very beginning, the church was faced with the cancer of legalism.

From the mythical gods of the Greeks and the Romans to the sports and entertainment stars of modern America, people are constantly seeking and making heroes to worship. In part four of Journey to the Ends of the Earth we see this principle at work as a crowd of gentiles try to make Paul and Barnabas their gods. In this message Pastor Gary explores why we have this universal longing and how it points us to Jesus.

He authored a majority of the books that make up the New Testament, carried the Gospel throughout Asia and into Europe, defined and defended a new understanding of God’s covenant, and built the framework for Christian theology. But a closer look at Paul also reveals him as the most unlikely champion of Christianity. His encounter with the resurrected Jesus transformed him from one of the church’s most zealous persecutors to its greatest defender. What can we lear...

Maybe it was something you saw on television, or something you found rotting in the fridge, or the smell coming from your son’s gym bag. Disgust is a natural reaction designed to keep us from things which might be potentially dangerous to our well-being, but the disgust response can also be triggered by things we find morally repulsive. During Jesus’ earthly ministry, He often offended the religious crowd by engaging those people they found disgusting.

The Bible is a record of people whose lives were interrupted by God. While the stories are all different, one thing they have in common is how inconvenient it was for these men and women to do what God asked them to do. In fact, everyone who answers God’s call must first be willing to breakout of their comfortable and convenient lives. In part two of Bre...

This means, among other things, that we do not measure our success by how many people sit in our worship services, but by how many people leave our worship services to live out the Gospel through word and deed. Jesus told His disciples to “Go and make disciples.” A fundamental part of our worship service is the ability to engage, equip, and empower people to fulfill the great commission.

It is read, respected, revered, and reviled by people from every nation. Each Sunday, the stories, teachings, and history as recorded in this collection of ancient writings shapes not only the preaching, but the entire worship services of millions of churches. From the lyrics we sing to the creeds we believe; the Bible is the central source of authority for the church’s faith and practice. In week two of BECAUSE, Pastor Gary looks at the Bible and explains why we use it and how we often abuse it.

Like a wedding ring, baptism is a visible reminder that this person belongs to Christ and is a part of His Church.

Is it possible that Christians today might fall into that same pattern? Join us as we consider what we want when we demand an earthly king.

Instead, He issued a simple invitation to “Come, follow me.” With those three words, a global revolution was launched. One generation after another has heard and responded to the call of Jesus, not to simply believe a set of theological doctrines, or practice a particular program of religious rituals, but to walk in the footprints of Jesus. In the opening message of In His Steps, Pastor Gary Webber explores the early church and what set Jesus’ earliest d...
