Congratulations on the new gig! Is this "ambient background noise" an integral part of the hi-tech church soundtrack these days? It was totally distracting.
@@derekwebb Yes, it was a genuine qiestion. Honestly Derek, the keyboards, or maybe it's a piano patch with shimmer reverb? It's the dissonant parts that grab my ears, and it's loud enough that I stopped hearing you, and had to watch again.
@@JonNewquist I agree. Curious if this was played during the church service or was overlaid on the video only? Makes me feel like I'm at a spa. Maybe they serve cucumber water at communion?
Is Derek back with the Lord? I pray for him daily, I understand what it means to doubt and even walk away, but God is bigger and His love will pernitrate any heart that will allow Him in. I love this guy he is a talented man.
He isn't. Derek is a Deuteronomy 13 prophet, who God is using to test believers' faith. Will we follow him into apostasy and darkness? He's not unlike Balaam; at first he was only telling us what he heard from YWHW, but now he's just speaking out of his ass.
@derekwebb I'm just looking through these comments and others on other videos and man like is this your life now Where you post something/anything and people just come out of the wood work to just attack you like they're doing a noble thing??? Cause that's wild. All I can say is sorry man. I wish you could have some peace and maybe understanding from some folks. Glad you can help write songs about people's life's as a community. I hope it helps the people there and yourself.
People in the comments have heard the part where Jesus said these are the rules, follow them or burn in hell forever, and make sure your love is conditional and your mind is closed. At least people who can't tell Jesus from the GOP did.
I know I'm late to the party, but I wanted to note that I love God, I love His awesome word, and I love others, regardless of where they are in their view of or relationship with God. Congrats on the job, Derek. Thanks for continuing to love people where they are at and being genuine in your own life.
@@aaronwright7111 yeah, that’s not what that lyric is about. and, it’s a church for two reasons. the first is because it declares itself so. second, because unlike other so-called ‘churches’, our community is in almost constant trouble with self-righteous, religious types for radically loving, welcoming, and celebrating people who are typically marginalized and rejected. in other words, the same exact kinda trouble jesus was almost always in.
@@derekwebb A Church is a place for born again believers to gather and worship God and be fed wit the word of God, the Church is the body of believers in Jesus Christ, those who have been born again. Anything else is just a deception,. You either believe in the God of scripture and you put your trust in the work of Jesus on the cross or you dont. We cannot have it both ways. Submit to God or don't, but don't try and have a church when its not. We are not to create our won ideas of God and salvation, that's unbiblical and a waste of time to be honest.
@@BloodBoughtMinistries wow, bud. you clearly have no concept of church history. your definition of "church" fits a very specific template unique to modern evangelicalism. blue jeans have been in the mainstream longer than the term "born again." what, you think early Christian worshipers were gathering in buildings and listening to a pastor speak for 45 minutes then ending with a call to salvation? it's also comical that you say church is strictly for "born again believers" which means that skeptics and (by default) most non-evangelicals are unwelcome. your ignorance, arrogance, and simplistic rhetoric is a significant factor in the slow death of the American church. i'm sure Jesus really appreciates that, man. "guns, God, and Trump," am i right?
Isn’t this the same guy that declared himself an atheist a few years back? Thanks be to God if he came back around again. But I hope they sat down and asked him some serious questions about his theology; that’s what (in part, at least) messed him up in the first place.
i never declared myself anything, actually. but i'm permanently uncertain about invisible (like god) and unknowable (like the future) things, as are most of the folks at gracepointe. that's what makes it such an interesting community.
@@brianbachinger6357 history & experience is neither unknowable nor invisible. it happened, therefore it’s known. i get what you’re trying to do, the semantic snare you’re trying to catch me in. i receive it as an expression of care and have no further response. in the future, i would invite you to consider not calling someone’s opinion a “virus that’s invaded your mind”, as it’s neither winsome nor persuasive. that is unless you’re intentionally trolling or antagonizing, which is just a rhetorical waste of everyone’s time. kindness is always the most persuasive part of any argument, brian.
@@dkjazzz i said that god is invisible and the future is unknowable. and do you have evidence that god actually gave us the bible, i mean other than the bible saying it about itself (which obviously isn't evidence)?
He’s an atheist yet took a position in a church? Makes me wonder what kind of a church this is because this guy is not a believer in Christ.
Leading people astray…
Now a drag Queen!!😂
Usually those who fall away from the faith have sin they will not give up

you mean the music? it's barely audible. c'mon man.

that this has the most engagement right now may speak to us missing the point
@@rickdellis_ him being involved in a(ny) church clearly does not interest me. whattayagonnado? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is beautiful. I love the philosophy of "songs that reflect what's happening in the congregation." Can't wait to sing those songs with you!
Yes!
The path to heaven is not wide. But Christ said there would be a falling out.
Praise that reflects the pastoral care of the sheep. Sounds like Jesus. Amd what good undersheperds do.
Is Derek back with the Lord? I pray for him daily, I understand what it means to doubt and even walk away, but God is bigger and His love will pernitrate any heart that will allow Him in. I love this guy he is a talented man.
Short answer, no.
Take a look at Gracepoint’s about us page.
He isn't. Derek is a Deuteronomy 13 prophet, who God is using to test believers' faith. Will we follow him into apostasy and darkness?
He's not unlike Balaam; at first he was only telling us what he heard from YWHW, but now he's just speaking out of his ass.
@@austinconant8476demons are running that place.

thanks for that. and, all part of the job. ;)

Would love to attend service
please do!
This is not a church
except it is, though
