Anthem Church Life

Our tendency as Christians is to believe that miracles could possibly happen, but usually only long ago or far away. What if God wanted us to live out supernatural lives in the natural world where we experience his miracle-working and healing power in a normal day?

Is there a dimension of our Christian lives that we're missing out on? God wants every believer to be filled... and filled again, with the Holy Spirit

What if there is a dimension to our relationship with God that many of us are missing out on? A supernatural dimension where we can experience God's activity in the world in a way that can't be explained by human logic? Are these supernatural experiences even plausible? And if so, do we have to become religious weirdos to experience them? Join us as we discover that we don't have to become religious weirdos to be intentional about living a naturally supernatural life.

After decades of separation from their nation, the people of Israel were finally able to return home. A leader named Nehemiah rose up with a holy indignation during this incredible Comeback story. Journey with us on Sundays starting this Sunday June 13th as we look at a piece of Israel's history that has so much relevance for us as rebuilders living under the backdrop of a post-pandemic world.

So you've learned your neighbors names. Now what? As followers of Jesus, we've been called to love both God and our neighbors. It's easier said than done, but if we push past the fear, time barriers, and pride that can keep us from engaging with others, we can build deep connections with the people in our neighborhood and, most importantly, please God.

We live in a culture that can sniff out inauthenticity rather quickly. So, if we neighbor with ulterior motives, we should expect walls to be put up and neighbors to keep their distance. So, how do we neighbor the way Jesus asks us to without these motives? What does it look like to learn The Art of Neighboring the right way? Join us for week 4 of The Art of Neighboring with Drew Thurman of Renaissance Church in Waltham.

One of the biggest barrier to neighboring is TIME. As followers of Jesus, we've been called to love both God and our neighbors. It's easier said than done, but if we push past the fear, time barriers, and pride that can keep us from engaging with others, we can build deep connections with the people in our neighborhood and, most importantly, please God.

What comes to mind when you think about your neighbors? Maybe you don't know them very well or, if you're honest, maybe you think the lady across the street is a bit weird. For many of us, it can be tempting to keep our distance and mind our own business in our neighborhood. But is that really how God wants us to live? As followers of Jesus, we've been called to love both God and our neighbors. It's easier said than done, but if we push past the fear, time barriers, and pride that can keep us from engaging with others, we can build deep connections with the people in our neighborhood and, most importantly, please God. In this series based on the book The Art of Neighboring, we'll explore how to focus on the people within our neighborhood and learn what it means to be a good neighbor. What's the importance of pushing through the uncomfortable feelings that come with communicating, investing in, and caring for the people who live near us? What would our communities look like if we took Jesus's command to love our neighbors as ourselves seriously?

What if Jesus meant that we should love our actual neighbors? When Jesus was asked to sum up everything into one command, he said to love God with everything we have and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Most of us have turned this simple idea of loving our neighbors into a nice saying, putting it on bumper stickers and refrigerator magnets and then going on wåith our lives without actually putting it into practice. What would happen if every follower of Jesus took the Great Commandment literally? Is it possible that the solution to our society's biggest issues has been right under our noses for the past two thousand years?

How is your thought life? Your self talk? The direction of our lives often follows the patterns of our thoughts, but it's difficult to manage all that goes on in our minds. Join us as we wrap up our three-week series as we seek a whole and healthy thought life through the hope found in Jesus, and learn how to come alongside others as they journey toward mental health.

Just under 50% of adults in the United States will struggle with mental health at some point in their lives. Many of us have or will experience some form of struggle in this area and those who do not, will likely know someone who does. Though prevalent in our culture, mental health has often been left out of discussions when it comes to faith and the church. When it has been talked about, many times those efforts have understated it's complexity and overstated incomplete simplistic answers. With that in mind, we wanted to open a conversation around mental health and it's implication for all of our lives. During this message, we'll share lived experience, break down the stigma and discover the power of hope and community in this complex conversation.

Over the past year we’ve seen God’s faithfulness at work at Anthem in so many ways. This year we want to echo Paul’s words in 2 Timothy 2:15 “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, but who correctly handles the word of truth”.

We often quote Jeremiah 29:11 at the beginning of a new season and with it glibly proclaim the promise that good things are coming our way. Can we really depend on this scripture as a promise that God has a great future in store for us?
