Disclaimer: In this podcast, there is a frequent conversation about human trafficking and sex slavery. – For the last decade we have cheered them on and sowed into their work as they have rescued kids out of trafficking and introduced them to the good news of the Gospel. Over that time, Zoe has expanded their Gospel work from Thailand to Australia, Mexico, the United States and beyond. We have seen their faithfulness to Jesus in both proclaiming and demonstrating the Gospel. We are so grateful for this partnership and would ask you to both pray over Mike and Carol (the founders) and their team and consider how you might sow financially into what God is doing through them. ⁠anthemto.org/celebrate-generosity⁠

James Storehouse supports children in foster care, youth aging-out of foster care, and their caregiving families. ⁠anthemto.org/celebrate-generosity⁠

We have a team in the Middle East working to serve refugees, those escaping dangerous situations, and bringing the gospel to their neighbors. ⁠anthemto.org/celebrate-generosity⁠

When we first began working in Nepal, it was estimated that only 1.4 percent of the population knew Jesus and that most of the population would be considered unreached with the Gospel. We believe there is an opening for the Gospel in this beautiful country, and we want to continue to partner with people who faithfully serve there. This year, we will continue to sow into Touch Nepal (led by our own Mark Avery), our friends Biki and Satya, and Steve Larson, as they train pastors in remote areas. It is exciting to see the next generation of leaders in Nepal equipped with the Gospel, and we love being a part of that. ⁠anthemto.org/celebrate-generosity⁠

On Sunday, Matt Larson continued in our series on the Book of John through chapter 3. In the passage, we see that some of John the Baptist’s disciples came to him with the concern that people were now following Jesus instead of John. John’s response is an example to us today, he said that just like a best man at a wedding leads people to see the groom, all he was there to do was point people to Jesus. Similarly for us today as followers of Jesus, our job is to lead people to Jesus and stand aside.

This week, Matt Larson continued through in the book of John with the secret meeting of Jesus and Nicodemus. Jesus taught him that birthright into Israel doesn’t get anyone into God’s kingdom. Everyone needs to be born again spiritually because all have sinned, and are under the condemnation of sin. But God in his great love sent Jesus, so everyone who believes in Him would have eternal life. What we can take away from this, is that God loves each one of us, he loves our neighbors, our enemies, and the rest of the nations.

Though people rejected Jesus, then and now, whoever receives Jesus is given the right to become the children of God. He gives us the ability to choose righteousness by the power of his Spirit and not what our sinful nature desires. Our motivation is to go out into the world, so everyone would hear the name of Jesus and would receive Him, and be able to live the godly life that God desires for us.

This week, Rob Patterson taught on our value of mission, and how we are to practically live out mission in our lives. Rob taught that Jesus invites us into a life full of joy in Him. To live out mission we should be doing three things: open up our lives to those who don’t know Jesus and invite them in, listen to their stories and discover how the gospel is good news for them, and share what we have seen and experienced God do in our lives.

This Sunday, Matt Larson preached a second message on our value of being dependent on the Holy Spirit. We have everything that we need to live out the life that God wants us to, He has given us his Spirit to lead us. We must be obedient to his promptings as He leads us into uncomfortable situations to bring his name and presence to this world.

This week, Matt Larson continues our series called This Is Anthem, by focusing on our pursuit of the Holy Spirit. We believe reliance on the Holy Spirit is necessary for the body of Christ to function properly so, we lead, worship and pray in full dependence on the Holy Spirit, even when it's easier to operate in our own strengths and abilities.

Sunday was our second week of Community in our This Is Anthem series. We heard some stories of how members of our church have been involved in community. Matt used Colossians 3 to talk about our posture while engaging in Christian community. To do this we must first be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger.

On Sunday we started a new series called “This Is Anthem,” where each week we will teach through one of our core values. Matt preached on our value of being “gospel centered” as a church and that the gospel is the good news of Jesus. He became flesh, died for our sins, was resurrected thereby defeating death. Our goal is to be people who have our whole lives centered on the gospel. If we are going to be people of the gospel, then we will have a deep joy in Jesus, love people, be gospel fluent, and repent regularly.

This week, Matt Larson finishes up our teaching series through 1 Peter. So how do we experience the peace that passes all understanding? We stand firm in the true grace of God, that is Jesus Christ. When the “who we are”, the “What we do,” and the “Why we’re here” are all answered in Jesus, it gives us a sense of purpose that produces peace in our souls.Life’s big questions are answered and there is an intentionality to our lives. The invitations of 1 Peter to live a life of suffering, submission and testimony are done with a heart full of peace because of the security that comes from the finished work of Jesus.

This week, Matt Larson continued to teach through chapter 5 of 1 Peter. As Peter is preparing the church to go through suffering, he encourages the elders to care for the church. To the rest of the church, he says to submit not only to the elders but to one another. We are in a spiritual battle with the devil, so we must be alert and resist him. We can take comfort that we are not alone in this and our eternity is with God, who is able to strengthen and settle us.

This week, Matt Larson teaches through 1 Peter 4:7-19, where we see Peter saying that you have an opportunity to demonstrate through your life that you are a follower of Jesus. You do that by living faithfully regardless of the circumstances and when the fiery trials arise, you continue to live faithfully, even to the point of death.

This week, Matt Larson teaches through 1 Peter 3:8-17. Jesus promised that He would be with us to the very end of the age. We have been set free to do the good and merciful will of God in the midst of a contentious world, and Jesus is with us in the fire. Even if doing good in a contentious world leads to suffering, Jesus is with us. He has not left us and he will not leave us. He is with us and in us. With that reality, we can have hope no matter how dark the world gets.

One of the great realities of the Gospel is that it impacts every area of our lives. As Paul has said in the previous two weeks’ passages, being a follower of Jesus affects our lives in politics, work and now marriage. Peter dives directly into the home life of believers and challenges them to a life of submission, honor, and inner beauty as the defining characteristic of their marriage life.

This week, Steve Larson continues our series in 1 Peter by teaching through 1 Peter 2:9-17. In this passage we see that God's call for us is to have a spirit that is distinctly different than the spirit of the world we live in. This is especially timely in this season of turmoil and angst in our nation and the world.

This week, Matt Larson continues in our series through 1 Peter, after taking a few weeks for Celebrate Generosity. Up until this point in the letter, Peter has been processing through identity with these Jesus followers that are mostly Roman citizens. He will soon get into the behavior that their new identity produces, but he has a bit more to say on the realities of who we are, because of all that Jesus has done.

This week, we begin our teaching series through the book of Proverbs. God’s wisdom serves as a foundation for life in this world and in his kingdom. It gives us a basis on which to make decisions, have relationships, develop character, ultimately setting the posture of a wise person as a learner who receives guidance and correction.

This week, Matt Larson preached from Daniel 9. Daniel read and understood from the book of Jeremiah that Israel’s captivity was ending and repented of Israel’s sins. We see that God sent Gabriel to Daniel to give him a message and timeline of when He would send the Messiah and ultimately He would put an end to sin.

On Sunday we continued through chapter 8 of Daniel, where God gives Daniel a vision showing future events of Israel and the surrounding kingdoms in great detail. Daniel had already been given a great vision of God’s coming kingdom, but now he had to add to his understanding that Israel would go through an even harder time than their current exile. Paralleling our situation, we know that Jesus promises a great redemption at his coming. Throughout the scriptures He also warns us that in this life we will suffer. He tells us this so that we won’t just survive it, but that we would grow in faith and holiness.

This week in the book of Daniel, we transitioned from the narrative of Daniel’s life to the apocalyptic portion of the book. While in our culture, the apocalypse refers to the end of the world, in the scripture it means to unveil or to reveal. Here in chapter 7, YHWH is revealing to Daniel through a series of visions, kingdoms that will arise in the future and giving Daniel hope in the future of God’s everlasting kingdom

This week, Matt Larson teaches through Daniel 6, where we see the famous story of Daniel in the lions' den. What we see from Daniel is a life that is consistently pointed towards faithfulness to God. One of the things that Daniel teaches us is that the fruit of the Christian life is in being the people of God. The fruit is God’s to determine and distribute. Our place is to honor God, live faithfully and trust that he will use our stories to advance his kingdom.

This week, Matt Larson preached through Daniel chapter 5. In his pride, Belteshazzar took the vessels of the temple and drank wine from them. Doing this, he was declaring that he was in control and not God. A hand appeared and wrote a message on the wall that no one could understand. Once again Daniel was called upon to interpret and he declared that the Lord was judging Belteshazzar because of his pride and he was killed that night. In this passage, we continue to see Daniel’s faithful service to God and God’s sovereignty in dealing with mankind.

In our fifth week in Daniel, Garrison Wash preached through chapter 4, where Nebuchadnezzer tells us his story of how God stripped him of everything, so He could learn that God is in control. He invited us to lift up our eyes to see what God is doing in us and in our world through this time.

In chapter 2 of Daniel, we see that Nebuchadnezzar had a dream and asked for interpretation of it. Because Daniel continued to trust in God, when the call came to him, Daniel was able to give it. Though he was threatened with death, Daniel was faithful to give the king the interpretation that God gave him. Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom was temporary and God would ultimately replace it with his kingdom. When we are faithful, God gives us the opportunity to be more faithful and strengthens us to live by faith.

This week we continued into our second week of our Daniel series. We saw that though he was a young man, Daniel heard from the Lord and made the decision to be faithful in his time of exile and not defile himself with the ways of Babylon. God blessed Daniel and his friends for this and gave them wisdom beyond their natural ability. In the same way, we must learn to hear from God on how to be faithful in this time of our “exile” and our country has shut down.

Last Sunday was our Vision Sunday, the main theme flowing out of it was as followers of Jesus we are exiles in this world. This should shape not only our understanding of our place in our neighborhoods and cities, but also how and why we live the way we do. This year we are going to press into this reality and will have key moments throughout the year to teach into this and to help us to live it out.

On Sunday, Garrison finished up the two part series “Let’s Talk about the Bible.” He challenged us by teaching that as followers of Jesus we should not only believe what Jesus believed about God’s word.

Sunday was the sixth week of our “This is Anthem” series, and Kyle Rogan preached through our value of mission. God is taking His name to the ends of the earth. As followers of Jesus, we are ambassadors of God and have been given the ministry of reconciling people back to God. We are to do this wherever we are in this world, not because we are going to earn our place with God, but because this is who He has made us to be.

In the fifth week of our "This is Anthem" series, Ahmad Milby taught through our value of multiplication. Ahmad took us through the scriptures showing how the church, starting with just a few people, has multiplied until it will eventually fill the earth with a multitude of people that no one can number. We also saw how Jesus commissioned his disciples to go make disciples and take His name to the ends of the earth.

The gospel is the good news of Jesus. He became flesh, died for our sins, and resurrected, thereby defeating death. Our goal is to have our whole lives centered on the gospel. If we are going to be people of the gospel then we will have a deep joy in Jesus, love people, be gospel fluent, and repent regularly.

This Sunday, Matt Larson taught on how crucial the resurrection is to our faith in Christ. Incorrect understanding of the future leads to anxiety, fear, depression, and licentiousness. When we understand our future our hope produces in us love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

This week, Matt taught on generosity by looking at the life of Jesus. We looked at three of Jesus’ interactions with people, the woman at the well, Zacchaeus the tax collector, and a bleeding woman. Through these encounters, Jesus shows that generosity goes beyond giving time or money.
