Revelation 19:7, “…and His bride has PREPARED herself.” In order to do this, we must allow God to refine us as pure gold... for He is returning for a PURE bride. May we become more desperate for a move of God; recognizing repentance is the key that unlocks it! "Refiner's Fire" by Pastor Quinton Self was recorded on Sunday, January 24th, 2021, during service at The Anchor Church in Rockport, Maine....

For us to understand the significance of the times we are living in, we need to understand our place in church history and how Bible prophecy applies to our lives. "An Appointed Time" by Pastor Quinton Self was recorded on Sunday, January 17th, 2021, during service at The Anchor Church in Rockport, Maine.

As we see things unfolding in our nation and our world; things we must fight against and in some instances, repent for, we need to remember the story is not over. Who God is remains unchanged as well as who He has called us to be. We must keep our eyes on Him, where our help comes from, and let the King of Glory come in… because He is the ONLY answer! "The Story Isn't Over" by Pastor Quinton Self...

As we look through scripture, we see that when God sets things into order, many times, it is preceded by a time of shaking or unsettling. If we desire for Him to set things in order in our lives, we must continue to stay the course and trust Him in those times where things are being shaken. As He takes us through the shaking, He is bringing into order the things that can never be shaken. "When Ord...

Is there a time in your life where you have experienced great JOY? We probably all have. Many times, our thought is to associate it with emotion and good feelings. As wonderful as those times are, we see in scripture that the JOY God gives to us goes beyond good feelings. His Joy in our lives is His GRACE RECOGNIZED, which goes us the ability to press on even when things may not FEEL joyous. “Grac...

If we knew God was calling us to do something, would we do it? Before we rush to answer, let us remember there are things God has PICKED US to do as part of His plan for this world… but many times, it may not be the easiest route, or the safest way. If we knew it would cost us deeply, would we do it? As we dig deep and learn the lessons of Joseph and Mary, may our answer be a resounding “YES!” "A...

Do we treasure and honor God’s Word, voice and presence in our lives? Have they become common to us or are we treasuring them and walking in joyful submission and worship to Him? As followers of Christ, we need to know the amount of God’s influence and impact in our lives will be in direct proportion to our level of honor or dishonor we choose to walk in. "Far Be It From Me" by Pastor Quinton Self...

Paul reveals to us in Philippians 4 that he had to LEARN HOW to be content, meaning he didn’t start out that way. While that lets us know we are in good company if we struggle with a lack of contentment, it should also encourage us in realizing that if Paul LEARNED how to NOT stay there, we can learn and move on from that place as well. "The Power of Contentment - Part 2" by Pastor Quinton Self wa...

In Philippians 4:13, we read that we CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens us. If we look a little deeper in that verse, we see the principle of contentment and learn that this verse is more than a promise of accomplishing something difficult in Christ. We also see that the measure of joy in our lives isn’t determined by our current circumstances, but rather, our relationship with Chris...

The main reason God wants us to crucify our flesh and its desires, to renew our minds through His word and allow Him to heal us from the wounds of our past is because He wants us to be led by the Spirit. It is His desire that we, as His children, would be a people who are truly Spirit-led. "Spirit, Soul, & Body - Part 5" by Pastor Quinton Self was recorded on Sunday, November 15, 2020, during serv...

Matthew 22:34-40 states the most important commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself. As a believer, that should be our greatest DESIRE, yet there is often a huge gap between that desire and how we walk it out in REALITY. The hidden truth is that the size of the gap between our desire and our reality is ultimat...

Our soul is the only part of our being where WE determine the RATE of its salvation and restoration. As such, we must let God's Word be planted in us and then obey it if we want to see true SOUL salvation. Every part of our soul will be affected if we allow the WORD of God to speak loud and clear. "Spirit, Soul, & Body - Part 3" by Pastor Quinton Self was recorded on Sunday, November 1, 2020, duri...

Your flesh is constantly at war with your spirit and if you don’t keep your spirit fed and strong, your flesh will win out every time. You are the only one who can decide who will win in this internal, spiritual tug-of-war. The law of sowing and reaping is an established one; what harvest will you eat from? "Spirit, Soul, & Body - Part 2" by Pastor Quinton Self was recorded on Sunday, October 25,...

God made us a three-part being; spirit, soul and body. Many times, we allow our souls; our own thoughts, wills and emotions, which are connected to our sin-nature, to dominate our Earthly bodies. God, who IS spirit (John 4:24), has called us instead to live this Earthly life from our spirits, as they are reborn and connected to Him and His life-giving, God-nature. "Spirit, Soul, & Body" by Pastor...

Have we ever considered that our freedom might be the VERY REASON for Christ’s divine rules … even the rules we don’t like? As we become more mature in our faith, we should be asking, “How can this rule help me get FREE from bondage?” or “How can observing this rule help PROTECT the freedom I HAVE?” "Live Free" by Pastor Quinton Self was recorded on Sunday, October 11, 2020, during service at The...

2 Timothy 1:7 - For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Along the path of discipleship, we will hear the call to SERVE! Jesus gave us an example to follow of serving by not only washing the feet of those He trusted, but also, the one who would betray Him... We are called to serve the least of these; we are called to serve as Jesus served. "The Heart of a Disciple - Part 4" by Pastor Quinton Self was recorded on Sunday, October 4, 2020, during service a...

As we continue in our journey to be disciples, Jesus has called us to LEARN His ways. Our lives must show the proof of that learning by moving from a place of simply HEARING His Word to a place where we apply what we’ve learned and DO what His Word says. "The Heart of a Disciple - Part 3" by Pastor Quinton Self was recorded on Sunday, September 27, 2020, during service at The Anchor Church in Rock...

Did you know that when God calls us into discipleship, He is calling us to abide? “Discipleship: The Call to Abide” by guest speaker Candace Carle premiered on YouTube on Sunday, September 27th, 2020 for our ANCHOR At Home online church service.

We have not been born again into God’s kingdom to be part of the problem, but rather, to be part of the solution for what He wants to accomplish in this day and age. This starts with having the heart of a disciple that, first, loves God, and then, loves each other! "The Heart of a Disciple - Part 2" by Pastor Quinton Self was recorded on Sunday, September 20, 2020, during service at The Anchor Chu...

Jesus has invited us, not simply to know about Him and participate in a church service occasionally but, to have the heart of a disciple: to follow Him, become more like Him, and to make Him known! “The Heart of a Disciple” by Pastor Quinton Self was recorded on Sunday, September 13, 2020, during service at The Anchor Church in Rockport, Maine.

Jesus wants us to be His disciples; not just those who simply learn His teachings but those who are so close in relationship with Him that they actually want to become like Him. We must not settle for a life of spiritual mediocrity but accept His invitation to embrace the process and let Him transform us into all we truly can become in HIm. “From Mediocrity to Maturity” by Pastor Quinton Self prem...

If we serve God long enough, we will find ourselves in a wilderness. An important thing to consider at that moment is not that we are there because we did something wrong, but possibly, that we did something right. Our calling and anointing are not what change us; it's God working in us through the wilderness. "The Wilderness" by Pastor Quinton Self was recorded on Sunday, August 30, 2020, during...

Many times, we can allow the things we see solely in front of us to affect or shape what we believe and are convinced of. God wants us to trust and look through the eyes of Faith and allow Him to give us vision beyond what our own eyes can see. “How Do We See?” by Worship Pastor Tommy Faulk premiered on YouTube on Sunday, August 30th, 2020 for our ANCHOR At Home online church service.
