Anthem Church

Today, we celebrate Be Rich, our annual campaign to go above and beyond in giving back to our community. Thanks to your generosity of time and money, we have a LOT to celebrate.

When Jesus is your only hope, you may be better off than you think.

Loving our neighbor sounds easy. But, our brain tries to make shortcuts for understanding people - and sometimes that leads to judging others based on a stereotype, or a "data point" we have about a group of people. But when we see others the way Jesus sees them, we'll learn to treat them the way Jesus has treated us - with grace and love.

Join us for a conversation with our incredible partners Created Gainesville, Food4Kids Backpack Program and Girls Place as unpack the heart behind how we give, serve and love FOR Gainesville.

Join us and special guest Clay Scroggins as we launch Be Rich 2021 - a movement to give, serve and love our community! Over the past 12 years, hundreds of thousands of dollars and hours have been poured into our community! Today, you can be a part!

It’s possible to be a good person without doing any good, but that’s not good for anybody.

It’s easy to look at the outcomes of our decisions and know if we’ve won. But the bigger win happens before you even know the outcome.

The first breach of integrity makes the second breach easier. Before you know it, it becomes a pattern. But there’s a way to prevent it from starting.

Our appetites pose a constant threat to our integrity. And if we don't control them, they will shape the direction and quality of our lives.

Sometimes we’re willing to be bad to keep from looking bad. But when we’re more concerned about our reputations than our integrity, we eventually damage both.

There are times we know we ought to do something, even when there is no written rule. That's because there is an "ought to" outside of you and over you that didn't originate with you.

Investing time in our relationship with Jesus will always be time well spent. But, why does "church" matter? Today, take a peek behind the curtain as Jon Birkmire leads us through the "why" behind the "what", and find out the 4 things that can change your life - for the better. If you're on the fence about what a next step looks like for you - today's the day to step forward and impact lives FOR o...

We spend so much of our time doing things we don't want to do or that don't matter. There's little to show for the time we spent. What if there were a few things we could focus on that would change everything? Starting with these would be an investment; it would be time well spent.

If you repay evil for evil, you will write a pretty predictable story. But there’s a way to write a remarkable one instead.

We all have that person in our life - the mean one. Sometimes, they make us feel like we aren't even in control of ourselves. Do you ever want to… you know, get even? But why get even with someone you don’t even like? What’s a better way? The answer may surprise you.

It's easy to drift apart from your neighbor. Differing ideas, views and political parties can push us to find comfort in the uniformity of people who think like we do. But, Jesus knew that things would divide us, and so He specifically told us to "be sincere" in our love for each other.

Disunity, division, no common ground - there's a lot of talk about this in our country right now. Sometimes it can seem as if there is no way forward. But, despite how it may feel, there IS a way forward. And we should lead the way. Bring all your labels - we're throwing them in a pile and picking out some new ones.

We all have a tendency to judge others based on what we think they deserve. Maybe you’ve tried to do things the right way, but those who had no regard for the right way seemed to be rewarded. The truth is, when we overestimate our own righteousness and underestimate the grace we’ve been given, we can’t help but judge others. In order to discover true peace, we need to shift our focus from others t...

If there’s one thing that’s true for all of us, it’s that we will pursue our own desires and eventually come to regret it. It’s a cycle in which we often find ourselves. We try to fix things on our own instead of coming home, where we can truly find peace and rest. What if we made the decision to come home—where we were intended to be all along? Maybe it’s here we will realize that our dependence...

The term “father” stirs up a variety of feelings and memories in all of us. For some of us, our fathers were a dominant presence in our homes. For others, our fathers were people we barely saw. For still others, our fathers were consistent providers but cold when it came to showing genuine love. So when we hear the term “heavenly Father,” what feelings bubble up? In one story, Jesus gives us a per...

We’ve heard about how important the work/life balance is. But why doesn’t that saying include “rest?” How, why and when should you stop in order to intentionally rest?

We all want to get the future right, and we all want to arrive safely at our intended destination. Follow these rules and you will get there on time and on purpose.

Wrinkle-free days usually don’t create great faith, because we don’t know what we actually believe until what we claim to believe is tested. Those unexpected things life throws our way can end up being pivotal circumstances in our faith journeys.

There is no progress without discipline. And many times, what begins as an "ought to" becomes a "want to."

Sometimes it seems God drops someone into our lives at just the right time. The defining moments and seasons of our lives usually revolve around those providential relationships.
