Anthem Church

If you don’t know your position, you’ll fight for one. So put your resumé away, the position is yours.

You don’t come to Jesus when your faith is sufficient, He comes to you when it’s insufficient and He’s come to you today.

We are clamoring for someone to answer our questions about life, its meaning, and its trajectory. And we will listen to almost any authority that offers answers. The book of Mark 9:1-13 describes a holy moment, where the unique authority of Jesus as God's only begotten Son to represent God and his Word to us is confirmed by the Father. This sermon explores the meaning of the Transfiguration for Pe...

Belief is the gracious gift of a merciful God in what He has done, is doing, and will do. It is not of our own doing and we contribute nothing to it. As a result, we can press deeply into the comfort of His unfailing, unwavering plan for us.

The command to “proclaim the gospel” has much to do with instruction. Jesus expects that we would teach all that He commanded so that others would come to know the truth about His work and person. In contrast, “empty deceit, according to human tradition” seems immediately loving, but is in actuality eternally unloving.

As we open the ‘Vintage’ series, The Great Commission reveals to us timeless truths for timely issues. Beginning with the command to “go therefore and make disciples”, Jesus expects an apostolic, outward-facing mission for the local church. What is Anthem about? And is what we’re about relevant for a modern context? The interview referenced in the sermon can be watched at http://anthemchurch.onthe...

Most of us do not like the word obedience when it is applied to us. Obedience is for others. There is no faith in God without obedience. Obedience to God opens the door for us to see God work in our lives, he rewards those who obey.

Money is the god of most people. Life decisions are most often made on the basis of, "Can I afford it?" God challenges us to give generously, demonstrating our trust in Him rather than our money. When we do give, God says he will give bountifully and that we shall reap bountifully. When we give bountifully it is an opportunity for us to see God in a very tangible way, generous, because that is who...

Because we are all saved from sin by the same Savior, we have equal standing with each other as we enter the church community. God has equipped each one of us uniquely to bless people and bring Glory to God.

Discipleship conjures up ideas about classes, bible studies, and conferences. We usually think of discipleship as learning something that we don't know. But in Mark 8 Jesus makes it very clear that discipleship is not primarily about learning but conforming to the life, death, and resurrection of the King. This sermon explores the identity of the king, and what it means for us to conform to the se...

We live in place and age of skepticism. However, most believe the fallacy that understanding and faith are mutually exclusive. In other words, that faith is blind. Many have labored in their demands for a proof-positive sign, hoping to disprove the claims of Jesus once and for all. This was no different in Jesus' day as those who were self-interested regularly failed to have faith in the God-man.

We are moved by many things. Our passion for sports or music means that we won't stop talking about our favorite teams and our favorite bands. We are known for what moves us. In Mark 8 Jesus is moved with compassion for a group of Gentiles, who are not God's covenant people. This sermon explores how we should respond to our friends and neighbors in light of Jesus compassion towards those who seem...

When something changes our life we want to share it with others. There are evangelists for Apple products, no carb diets, and indie bands who wont stop talking about the things that they love. In Mark 7 Jesus returns to a reigon where he had healed a man who wouldn't stop talking about him and wanted to see the same kind of change. This sermon explores what it means to bear witness to the life cha...

Jesus is characterized in many ways in our culture, but we are often surprised when we look at the scriptures and see who Jesus really is. In Mark 7 Jesus speaks to a woman in a way that seems rude and dismissive and yet she pursues him. This sermon explores how we can pursue Jesus even when he seems to say hard things.

We all feel unclean at times. Whether it is the guilt that we carry because of things we have done, or the shame of what others have done to us. In Mark 7 Jesus addresses the unclean condition of our hearts. This sermon explores the unclean human heart and how Jesus death is sufficient to clean us up and make us holy.

Doctrine is really important but can also be a bit confusing. This sermon explains what doctrine is, the role that the Gospel plays in doctrine, and the difference between bad doctrine and sound doctrine.

Sometimes it's hard to remember life isn't just about us. This sermon talks about the difference between living for our glory and living for God's glory and how living for God's glory really is more fulfilling.

Feasting is something we do really well in the U.S.. Whether it's a birthday dinner, a holiday, or a backyard barbeque, we will take any oppertunity we can to feast. But could we be missing the most satisfactory feast of all? One that we could be enjoying on a daily basis? This sermon explores what it means to feast on Jesus and how important that is to our walk with him.

As Christians we hear the words "sin" and "repentance" a lot. This sermon defines those words in a way that is more helpful for living out our walk with Jesus.

The word "calling" is thrown around in the Christian culture a lot. This sermon explores what the Bible says about calling and how that relates to our walk with Jesus.

Everyone can relate to the strangeness of going back to their hometown after leaving. Jesus was no different. Mark tells us that his own hometown couldn't believe his teaching. This sermon explores the scandalizing reality of who Jesus claimed to be.

Since the foundation of the world, God the Father has had a plan for you. That plan Has been realized through God the Son and secured by God the Spirit. A plan where He would seat us with Himself by calling us out of death and darkness, shedding our old nature and desire, for a new one. And none of this is your own doing, but rather his gracious gift to you.

Jesus calls us to have faith like a child. One of the manny names for God is Father. This sermon is all about living life with child-like faith and how we find rest when we submit to God and see him as our Father.

Many of us base our identity on our achievements, where we were born or some other external factor. This sermon explores an alternative. Paul admonishes us to find our life in a deep relationship with Jesus abandoning the alternatives as worthless.
