When we call out to idols, we receive only silence in response. When we call out to the true and living God, He shows up powerfully. In 1 Kings 18:17-40, we see God confront the false gods of the day by sending a consuming fire. Listen as Matt Dennings teaches this passage and encourages us to ‘pack the kindling’ as we ask for God to send the fire of His presence. --- For more resources and inform...

God is full of power, which means we are called to be people full of prayer.  As we pray for our family members, coworkers, and friends to know Christ, we must realize the power rests on God and see others with the compassion He has for them. Listen as Matt Dennings teaches from Mark 9:2-29 on the power and work of God in prayer. --- For more resources and information from Anthem Church, visit us...

It matters what we build our lives on. If the Lord is not the foundation of our efforts, Psalm 127:1-2 tells us it will all be in vain.

How we spend our money communicates what or who we love. In the book of Haggai, we see the people of God using their resources for their own comfort rather than Kingdom purpose. When it comes to our finances, how do we steward our resources for the Kingdom?  Listen as Nick Sweerin teaches from Haggai 1 on following the Spirit’s leading as we make financial decisions for the glory of God. --- For m...

Where does our faith intersect with our workweek? When God created humanity, He gave us the work of cultivating the world for His glory and our flourishing. Yet, sin has distorted the gift of vocation and we often find ourselves frustrated, apathetic, or overly obsessed with our work. Listen as Brandon Moore teaches from Genesis 1:28 and 3:17-19 and explains how Jesus redeems and reorients our wor...

What is the role of education in our lives as Christians? While formal education may or may not be part of our journeys, we are all learners who have much to grow in understanding about God’s world.

We can revere the Lord through the ways we rest, work, and play. However, in a culture that reveres self, comfort, and success, we can become thrown out of balance in any of these categories. Listen as Nick Sweerin, Director of Worship and Pastor of Formation, preaches through Psalm 23 on how communion and delight with the Good Shepherd allow us to steward rest and recreation well. --- For more re...

With the gift of family comes the responsibility of stewardship. In Deuteronomy 6:1-15, God provides instructions to Israel that provide valuable insight for how we can set the spiritual temperatures in our own homes. Listen as Toby Neal, Care Team Pastor, helps us understand how to glorify God in our families by cultivating a reverent fear of the Lord and embracing an all-encompassing love for Go...

Parenting in today's world can be challenging with so much conflicting advice on how to raise children well. As parents or spiritual mentors, it's easy to get overwhelmed and feel like we're not doing enough. However, biblical parenting begins with the compassion of God, our perfect Father, and not just another tip or technique. In this week's sermon, we were blessed to hear from Nick Sweerin, Dir...

The context and expectations for dating may constantly change in our modern day, but we can examine Scripture for timeless wisdom to help us navigate seasons of singleness, dating, engagement, and marriage. This week, we heard from Salt Director, Zach Everly, on principles from Genesis 24 on how we can steward our dating relationships to the glory of God. --- For more resources and information fro...

As we see in Genesis 2:18-25, God has given us a beautiful design for sex in the context of a marriage between man and woman. From the beginning, this design was meant for our delight and His glory. However, we also recognize that we all come to the topic of sex from various places: joy, delight, frustration, difficulty, regret, pain, shame, or guilt. This week, Matt Dennings discussed stewardship...

As we consider the call to steward our lives for God, it becomes apparent that this task is too heavy to take on alone. We need friends in the church body to help us navigate the burdens of life and reorient us to God’s promises. This week, Chris Kurtz explained Jonathan and David’s deep friendship in 1 Samuel 18:1-4 and how it serves as an example of the depth of friendship we are called to. ---...

How should we think about the physical bodies we live in? As we discover the truth about our bodies in Scripture, we discover God’s delight in His personal creation and desire for us to care for the bodies He has specifically appointed for each one of us. Matt Dennings preaches about the relationships we have with our physical bodies and how we are to live in light of 1 Timothy 4:8-10. --- For mor...

In Psalm 42, we see the Psalmist speaking hope to his soul rather than letting his low emotional state guide him to misperceive reality. We, too, are called to use our emotions as a gauge to show us areas we need to submit to the Lord rather than submitting to or avoiding our emotions. Listen as Matt Dennings unpacks how to steward our emotions as patterned for us in Psalm 42. --- For more resourc...

When you think of discipleship, what comes to mind? In the last chapter of John, we see Jesus model discipleship in three ways: passionately pursuing his disciples, developing a climate for growth, and shifting their focus to following Him. Nick Sweerin closes our John sermon series, unpacking the lessons we can learn from watching Jesus engage with his disciples in John 21:1-25. --- For more reso...

After the resurrection, we find Jesus’ disciples locked behind a door hiding in fear. The resurrected King Jesus then shows up and gives them exactly what they need in the midst of their confusion: peace, gladness, and purpose. Nick Sweerin walks through John 20:19-31 on how Jesus met the disciples and continues to meet us in times of fear and doubt. --- For more resources and information from Ant...

We long to be reunited with our Creator and the very thing we long for, we find in Jesus. Because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, we live with an invitation to come to God through Jesus. When you approach the risen Christ, what holds you back from being reunited with your Creator?
