Anthem Church

When the church first began, a natural question surfaced right away: What shall we do? The answer had to do more with understanding who your faith was in more than what needed to be done.

While the Greek word “ekklesia” is mistranslated as “church” in many Bibles, the word means “group” or “gathering.” Christianity has always been a movement, with local groups of people living out the same approach and posture of Jesus

The goal of a follower of Jesus should be to allow our hearts to break for thethings that break God’s heart. When you are faced with another person in a tough situation or in desperate need, how does your heart respond?

There is a very real battle between what we want now and what we want most,and we have a choice to make—will our hearts be set on NOW or LATER?

One way to test the spiritual condition of your heart is to listen to the wordsyou say. In Matthew 15:10–20, Jesus teaches that the words we say reveal what’s in ourhearts. Monitoring the nature of your words can help you monitor the condition of yourheart. When it comes to your heart, do you hear yourself?

In all its subtle forms, greed has the potential to rob your life. But the secret to living a meaning-filled life is found across the border from what’s in it for me.

If the only things that concern you are about you, there is work to do. Ultimately, we save ourselves from ourselves by choosing not to be all about ourselves.

At the beginning of year, many of us ask, “What should I do about me?” And yet there’s another question that will potentially catapult you beyond yourself.

During this time of year, we engage our imaginations as we embrace the magic of Christmas. Let’s also imagine what the world would be like if we fully embraced the way of Jesus—the way of love.

Spiritual disciplines require practice. Practicing well is just as important as practicing, period. In this message, we’ll learn about a few disciplines we can begin to practice to make room to experience more of God’s power in our lives.

Spiritual habits are not the end; but a means to an end. To what end? Jesus makes that abundantly clear.

What's the faith of the next generation worth? Jon Birkmire unpacks what's at stake when we ask that question and what you and I can do about it in Part 3 of Irresistible.

Ever heard the phrase "The world is going to hell in a hand basket?" In Part 2 of Irresistible Jon Birkmire looks at the bystander effect and how the tensions we feel all around us could move us towards seeing people the way Jesus did.

Since 2008 Anthem has been a different kind of a church. A church that believed it was possible to create a church that people who don't like church love to attend. A church that created irresistible environments for all ages experience the life changing message of Jesus. While much of that hasn't changed, in 2022 God birthed a new mission and vision for Anthem... and this series, these days, are our invitation to fuel and to finish what God founded. Join us for a brand new original teaching series: Irresistible.

Your great work is to identify the distractions that keep you from the “problem” that you are uniquely positioned to solve.

Great work is often found on the other side of a terrifying longing. How could clarity regarding your “terrifying longing” reduce the allure of the distractions you’re most susceptible to?

Most of us, if we’re honest, would admit that we’re either stressed out, exhausted, or feel like we just can’t keep up with everything. We can’t catch a breath, and even if we do, it’s pretty short lived. What if you don’t have to feel this way? What if you found a way to live that was filled with peace and life instead of hurry and stress? Stress, exhaustion, and what on earth we can do about it.
