The lineage of Jesus is full of people with stories that would make anyone blush, including the likes of King David and Lot's daughters. But in spite of jaw-dropping choices people made, God's purposes marched forward.Speaker: Andy Stanleyhttps://anthemchurch.comFollow us on Instagram

Rahab is one of a few people in the lineage of Jesus that wasn't Jewish — she was a Canaanite. Not to mention, she was a prostitute. But neither of those things kept her from being used by God in an incredible way.Speaker: Andy Stanleyhttps://anthemchurch.comFollow us on Instagram

What does kindness look like, act like, and react like?

Jesus never said life would be easy, but he did promise us a path that leads to peace.Speaker: Joel Thomas (Lead Pastor, Buckhead Church)The Anthem Church Podcasthttps://anthemchurch.comFollow us on Instagram

Jesus promised that a consistent, constant, and steady joy can be ours. And fortunately, he also tells us how.

The Holy Spirit was given to us not so we could be more spiritual, but to produce selfless maturity.

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.
