The Gospel of Matthew closes with the powerful words of Jesus that we commonly call the Great Commission. After His resurrection, the disciples had gone to wait for Jesus in Galilee, as instructed. During this time, He not only appears to them on the shore, but also on a mountain telling them to "Go" into all the world and make disciples of all peoples, baptizing in the name of the Father, and the...

After the Resurrection of Jesus, He appeared to his disciples numerous times. Today, we follow the disciples to Galilee, where they were told to go wait for Jesus. As they wait, Peter and six others decide to go fishing. After a night without a catch, a voice from the shore calls out to them and tells them to cast on the other side... the result was a miraculous catch that could not be hauled into...

After declaring His finished work on the cross, Jesus gave up His Spirit and died. In this pivotal moment of history, creation was shook as the earth quaked, rocks split, the veil of the temple was torn from above, and dead rose form their graves. Yet, Jesus was dead. He body was taken down and placed in a tomb, Jesus was dead. He remained in the tomb on that Sabbath, Jesus was dead. but on the fi...

*This Week's message was interrupted by a sudden loss of power during service.* After Peter's Denial of Jesus, we don't hear much about the disciples until the final hours of Jesus' life. While Jesus is hanging on the cross there is a small group of people mention by name, among them are his mother and John. As Jesus has gone through the worst moments of His earthly life, John has remained steadfa...

Join us for a message of hope, even during our darkest moments. On the night that Jesus was betrayed, Peter followed as Jesus was led through a night of illegal trials. But when Peter was asked about his relationship with Jesus, Peter denied even knowing him! The same man who said that he would die for Jesus, denied Him in every way. This was perhaps Peter's lowest moment in life... But the hope o...

After the High Priestly Prayer, Jesus and His disciples cross over to the Garden Gethsemane. It is here that we see an agonizing time of prayer for Jesus as He prepares to drink the cup that the Father has given Him. After this time of prayer, he awakens His disciples and tells them that the betrayer is at hand. This week, Jesus is betrayed and arrested. As we explore this passage, we also compare...

Last week, we heard Christ's words of comfort to His disciples as He promised to send them "Another Helper". This week, we look at Christ's words to His Father as He prays for future believers and the fellowship He creates between man and God. The words of Christ bring us comfort as we hear His desires for believers to be one and in Son and the Father, that the Son be in believers and the Father i...

Before Jesus went to the cross, He gave His disciples the comfort of His spiritual presence during His physical absence through the promise of the Holy Spirit. Jesus comforted His disciples by describing a new relationship between God and man, saying that He would be with them and IN them!

Shortly after Jesus washed the feet of His disciples, He resumed his placed at the table and taught them the meaning of what He had just done for them. Following this, Jesus then identifies a betrayer among the disciples, and prompts Judas to leave. Once Judas exits, Jesus delivers a new command to His disciples- a command to love one another just as He had loved them. This week, we continue our s...

Join us for week 5 of our series “Follow Me”. This week, Jesus gives His disciples an example to be followed as He washes their feet during a Passover meal. We also recalled Jesus’ teaching on His way to Jerusalem when asked if James and John could sit in places of honor once Christ enters His glory. We learned what Greatness is according to the King, and how He sees greatness in His kingdom.

Join us for week 4 of our series “Follow Me”. Last week, the disciples saw Jesus walking on the water during a storm, Peter then walking out to Christ, and finally Christ saving Peter when his faith begins to waver. This week, Jesus is questioned about which is the greatest commandment in the Law. To analyze this passage, we look at the answer from both the Jewish perspective of that time and the...

Join us this Sunday for week 3 of our latest series “Follow Me”. Last week, we saw the disciples marvel at Jesus when they witnessed Him command a raging storm to instantly cease. “Peace! Be Still!” declared Jesus, and there was a great calm. This week, we will again confront our fears and faith as Jesus shows Himself to have absolute authority over creation and desire to rescue. Even when the fai...

Join us this Sunday for week 2 of our new series “Follow Me” We are looking at Jesus through the eyes of the disciples. This Sunday, we will hop into a boat and set sail with Jesus across the Sea of Galilee. The voyage is the perfect opportunity for a nap, until a storm suddenly surges and causes the disciples to fear for their lives! With the thunder booming, the waves crashing, and the winds bea...

Do you ever wonder what it was like to follow Jesus as one of the disciples? Oftentimes, we forget that they were just as human as we are; they got confused, frustrated, scared, angry, tired, hungry, etc. (just like all of us!) Even though they lived in a completely different time and culture, the disciples were real people with many of the same thoughts and struggles that we all have. Think about...

Do we trust in our God, or in our circumstances? Are we putting our hope in the gift, or in the the Giver? Looking at the faith of Abraham, we will consider his faith to trust in God even if it meant the death of his own son- the son of promise, covenant, and blessing.

Join us this Sunday as we observe the Lord’s Supper. The Lord’s Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of the church, through partaking of the bread and the fruit of the vine, memorialize the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming. Just as Paul tells us in 1 Cor. 11:26, “For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he come...

We had a very special worship service this morning, celebrating Anchored VBS! We began our service with a VBS spotlight, followed by worship through song, giving, and scripture. The week, we continued our series in Genesis about God’s promises to Abraham, hearing specifically about the son that God prophesied to Abraham and Sarah. In this passage, we see that nothing is impossible or too great for...

Join us this Sunday for week 3 of our latest series! As we continue to explore the land of Canaan with Abram, we will see God fulfill His promise of giving Abram a new name, and explore the meaning behind the sign of the covenant that God gave to him at age 99! We will also see how this Old Testament promise is fulfilled in the New Testament — and how it affects our lives today!

Join us this Sunday for week 2 of our latest series! This week, we travel with Abram through the land that God showed him, hear God’s promise to Abram, and see Abraham’s response. During this exciting series we will not only see God’s blessings in the life of Abram, but we will also the seed of the Gospel and God’s blessings to all who are in Christ Jesus!

As we journey through the land of Canaan over the next few weeks, we will discuss why God called Abram, what covenants are for, how faith is lived out, we will see the times when Abram followed by faith, and see the times Abram walked by fear.
