Anthem Church

Phillip Kreis with Acts 16In this teaching, we walk through Acts 16 as a masterclass in what happens when ordinary people stop playing it safe and small and start following the Holy Spirit.  We see the gospel advance through Spirit-empowered obedience from Timothy's personal sacrifice to Lydia's open home, from midnight worship in a prison to Paul's strategic use of citizenship.  This message calls the church in Denver to refuse comfortable Christianity, listen to the Spirit, and obey with courage so the Jesus Movement can continue through us.

Joshua Lewis with Acts 15In Acts 15, the early church wrestled with a question that still confronts us today: What does it take to get into God's family? Is it Jesus plus religious effort, moral improvement, or cultural conformity — or is Jesus enough? This message explores the beauty of grace. The Law was good, but it could never save. Only the grace of the Lord Jesus brings us in — and that grace doesn't leave us unchanged.

Acts 14 with Lauren Rowe In Acts 14, we see the gospel advance through both belief and opposition as Paul and Barnabas preach boldly despite persecution. As they enter pagan cities, they show us the importance of knowing our audience, identifying the idols people live for, and pointing them to the living God rather than “worthless things.” This passage challenges us to examine our own hearts and ask what we're truly building our lives around—dead things or the living God. Ultimately, Acts 14 calls us to resilient faith, reminding us that following Christ will involve hardship, but He is worth far more than anything we might lose.

Acts 13 with Josh Lewis As Paul and Barnabas begin their missionary journey we see how and why they share the gospel in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth. What does it look like to move towards others as the gospel demands.

Acts 10-12 with Joshua LewisIn Acts 10–12, we see a God who is already on the move — crossing boundaries, disrupting assumptions, and drawing unexpected people to Himself. Peter discovers that he isn't bringing God to new places; he's joining what God is already doing. This message invites us to pay attention, to pray, and to ask how we might show up differently if God is already at work in the lives of the people around us.

Acts 8 & 9 with Joshua LewisIn Acts 8–9, God is on the move — scattering the church, interrupting Saul, and inviting ordinary people into obedience. Through the stories of Philip, Simon, Saul, and Ananias, this message explores the different ways people respond to God's activity and challenges us with a simple but profound question: Will you say yes to God?

Acts 6 & 7 with Joshua LewisIn Acts 6–7, Stephen becomes the first martyr of the church—and the turning point of the Jesus Movement. In this sermon, we walk through Stephen's trial, his sweeping retelling of Israel's story, and his bold claim that God has never been confined to a building or controlled by tradition. Stephen listens to the Holy Spirit, obeys faithfully, and pays a real cost—but his obedience becomes the spark that sends the gospel beyond Jerusalem and into the world. This passage confronts us with a sobering truth: listening to God is good, but it is not always safe—and refusing to listen means missing what God is doing entirely.

Acts 6 with Josh LewisA new year often awakens our longing for growth—personally, spiritually, and as a church. In Acts 6, we're given an honest picture of what real growth looks like in the life of God's people. As the early church multiplies, pressure rises, distractions emerge, and resistance follows close behind. Yet rather than shrinking back, the apostles respond by protecting devotion to prayer and the Word of God. This passage reminds us that while growth is a gift from God, it always comes at a cost—and that faithful, lasting growth is formed not through control or efficiency, but through grace-fueled effort and dependence on the Holy Spirit.

Acts 5 with Shaun Garman

Acts 4:36–5:16 with Josh LewisIn Acts 4–5, Luke pulls back the curtain on the early church and shows us a community marked by radical generosity, deep unity, and the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit. But alongside a beautiful example in Barnabas, we're confronted with a sobering counterfeit in Ananias and Sapphira. This passage invites us to wrestle honestly with God's holiness, the danger of performative faith, and why God cares far more about truth and integrity than religious image

the early church, the Spirit shows up in power—not simply with miracles or bold preaching, but with a community whose hands suddenly open. After praying for courage, the believers in Acts 4 experience a fresh arrival of God's presence, and the result is radical unity and radical generosity. This week we explore how God frees our hearts from fear, loosens our grip on our possessions, and forms a people who testify to Jesus in both word and deed.

Acts 4:23–37 with Josh LewisIn the face of fear, opposition, and uncertainty, the early church didn't shrink back—they prayed, were filled again with the Holy Spirit, and overflowed with radical generosity. In this teaching, we explore how God's presence forms a people who give freely, courageously, and joyfully because they know the generosity they have received in Christ.

Acts 1-4 with Joshua LewisJesus promises a beautiful Kingdom—but tells his disciples to wait for power. This teaching walks through Acts 1–4 and the pattern of the early church: wait, witness, face resistance, pray, and receive fresh boldness by the Holy Spirit.

Acts 16 with Shaun GarmanIn Acts 16, we see a God who redirects steps, shuts strategic doors, and then opens human hearts in ways only He can. From Timothy's faithfulness to Lydia's conversion, to Paul and Silas singing in a prison cell, this passage reveals a Spirit who leads with both authority and tenderness. Shaun walks us through this incredible chapter, inviting us to see the Jesus who still frees captives, confronts evil, and meets His people in their wounds.

Matthew 16:21–28 with Tom LogueJesus turns toward the cross and invites His followers to do the same. When Peter tries to redirect Him toward an easier way, Jesus rebukes him—but not to cast him off. He calls him back to his rightful place: behind Him. True life is found in following Jesus.

Guest Speaker Andy Rodgers from our Restored Family of Churches

Acts 2:1–47 with Joshua LewisWhen the Spirit of God fell at Pentecost, the disciples didn't just receive power—they became a new kind of people. What began as prayer turned into boldness, generosity, and community that the world had never seen. This is how the Jesus Movement began, and it's what the Spirit still wants to do among us today.

Acts 1:1–14 with Joshua LewisBefore his ascension, Jesus told his followers to wait—not for a strategy or a result, but for a gift. The Holy Spirit isn't a tool to accomplish God's work; he is God's presence among us. This teaching calls us to resist our obsession with outcomes and rediscover the beauty of waiting, praying, and joining together as God moves again in our time.

John 15v9–15 with Josh LewisIn this closing teaching of our Made for Relationship series, Jesus redefines what it means to be a friend. Friendship, according to Him, isn't built on shared interests or surface-level connection, but on shared love, obedience, and mission. As we learn to abide in His love, we're transformed into the kind of friends who carry one another closer to Him

Ephesians 5:15-20 with Philip Kreis Why do we worship together? We take a look at why coming together for cooperate worship is so important to our faith and the gift it is to God, one another, and the world.

Ephesians 2:19–22 with Joshua LewisWhat is the church really for? Paul tells us it's more than a building or weekly meeting—it's the family of God and the dwelling place of His Spirit. In Christ, strangers become brothers and sisters, and ordinary gatherings become places where heaven touches earth.

Matthew 11:28–30 with Joshua LewisLife can feel unbearably heavy—burdens, fears, relationships, striving. But Jesus invites us to take His yoke, a way of life that brings true freedom and rest. His yoke is lighter than every other attachment, and He carries the weight we cannot bear. In Him, and in His people, we discover the beauty of belonging and the gift of unity.

Genesis 1:27 & Luke 15 with Joshua LewisEvery person you meet bears the Imago Dei—the image of God. But in a world of anger, violence, and contempt, it's easy to forget one another's humanity. In this teaching, we explore God's design for relationship from the very beginning, and how Jesus calls us away from isolation, resentment, and dehumanizing words into the joy of His family.

Ephesians 6 with Joshua Lewis In this weeks sermon we take a look at Pauls instruction both to children and to parents about how to interact with one another. Lovingly disciplining our children and presenting them with the gospel has to be at the forefront of our parenting and our families.

Ephesians 5:15–33 with Joshua LewisPaul writes that to live a life worthy of our calling, we must be filled with the Spirit. In marriage, this filling shows up not in control or power, but in submission and sacrifice. Wives are called to yield in trust, and husbands are called to love as Christ loved the Church—by giving up their very lives. This is not about domination, but about embodying the cruciform love of Jesus.

Ephesians 4:17–5:20 with Joshua LewisThe gospel declares that salvation is by grace alone, not by works—yet Paul reminds us that grace always leads somewhere. “You were taught…to put off your old self…and to put on the new self, created to be like God” (Eph. 4:22–24). To follow Jesus is to change: falsehood becomes truth, bitterness turns to forgiveness, darkness gives way to light.

Ephesians 4 with Sarah Lewis Paul calls us to live a life in a manner that is worthy of our calling, with all gentleness and humility. This week we talk about what that looks like in today's cultural climate and hear examples of this lived out within our church body.

Ephesians 2v11–22 with Josh LewisIn a world constantly divided—by politics, race, religion, or wounds closer to home—Ephesians 2 tells a better story. Paul writes that Jesus himself is our peace, tearing down walls of hostility and making one new humanity. This week, we hear a powerful true story from a remote tribe in Papua New Guinea and remember that the Gospel doesn't just forgive sinners—it reconciles enemies and builds a new family.

Ephesians 2:1–10 with Joshua LewisOur culture is obsessed with self-definition—one mistake and you're ruined, one success and you're untouchable. But what if your identity isn't something you create, but something you receive? In this teaching, we explore Paul's vision of the human story: dead in sin, made alive by grace, and called into purpose. God's mercy is stronger than your worst failure, and his grace is greater than your best day.

Ephesians 1:15–23 with Joshua LewisWhat does it mean to actually know God—not just believe in him, but encounter him? Paul prays for eyes to see the hope, worth, and power that come with knowing Jesus. Because once you've experienced it, everything changes.

Ephesians 1:3–14 with Joshua LewisIn a world full of rejection and fractured relationships, we long to be chosen, known, and loved. In this sweeping passage, Paul erupts into praise over the breathtaking truth that, in Christ, we are chosen, predestined, and included in God's family. This is more than theology—it's the answer to our deepest ache: the desire to belong.

In this opening teaching from our Ephesians series, Joshua Lewis explores the deep identity crisis of our cultural moment and the biblical invitation to become who you truly are. Through the story of Paul and the first-century church in Ephesus, we're reminded that no story is too far gone for God to rewrite. This letter isn't just theology—it's an invitation to co-author your life with the living God
