ANCHORMEN, Anchored by Grace

So what do the 10 commandments mean to me in 2026?

We discussed in part one how the 10 commandments were not written to us so does that mean we don't have to follow or live by them?

Well hold on there bucko, not so fast. Just because they were not written TO US, there's way more significance in what they mean to us now then aver trying to live "By The LAW" then we have now to Live By The Spirit. 

Listen to part two as we unwrap the real case of the 10 commandments.

Can you name the Ten Commandments?

The Anchormen tackle the ten commandments and what do they mean to a new covenant believer in Christ.

Are they STILL significant?

What is the greatest commandment and how are you doing as you live your life trying to obey it, let alone the Ten. 

What are we to do with these "laws" that Moses gave to the Jews and what about the 613 other laws that man made and even some that God gave too. 

The "law" points to our need for a savior, and that Savior is found in Jesus. 

This session is part one of a two part conversation the Anchormen recorded during the Easter season in 2026.

Is God first in your life?

The first commandment says we should have no God's before our God almighty. 

So many men have many things that fight for our attention and that attention can pull us away from God. OR CAN IT?

The Anchormen wrestle with this topic and even the mention of putting something or someone before God can spark some thoughtful conversation.

Can we make idols for ourselves in our hobbies, passions, serving and even our church activities?

Join us in our conversation and let's explore what God's word has to say about these "idols" and are they, or can they become idols in our lives.

Who is God to you? 

This question you may never have asked yourself or anyone else but have you ever taken the time to think about it?

What does God mean to you and how much of a part does He play in your life?

We start out reading Hebrew 11:6 " Without Faith, it is impossible to please Him, anyone that comes to Him must believe He exists and that He rewards those that earnestly seek Him."

Do we look to God as a rewarder to those who are "Good" and He holds back from those who are not, while He keeps score.

John and Todd are joined this week by Brad Whitmore looking into this question about who and what is our perception of God.

We've been taught to hear scripture through a filter of performance and working harder. 

This week, Todd and John bring to light some of the things we've been told for many years about how you must get better, try harder, do more for God and gain His favor or you will never be accepted into His kingdom. 

Our eternal home is not determined by what WE do but by WHO Jesus is and what He's done for us. Quit trying so hard and putting all that guilt and shame on yourself.

God's GRACE covers a multitude of our bad behavior and thoughts about our inadequacies. We are made in HIS image and He meets us where we are. Not where we put ourselves. 

Join us as we learn how we have been told about how poor teaching has affected our image of God.

How important are our children and grandchildren to you?

John and Todd have a candid discussion about how we raise our children and what we have learned over the years about the importance of raising up our children to see how we love God and most importantly how God's love for us can, will and does change our lives.

The old testament raises the importance of children in several OT scriptures.

Deuteronomy 6:7

Impress them (Laws and Decrees) on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Psalm 34:11

Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

Psalm 37:26

They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be a blessing.

Also in the New Testament and the New Covenant, children play an even greater significance in our lives.Teaching them to be followers of Christ is the utmost importance in our walk with Jesus.

Matthew 19:14

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Matthew 21:16

“Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him. “Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read, “‘From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise’?

”Mark 9:37

“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”

 Join us as we explore the importance of children in our lives and in the family as Children Of God.

Saints or Sinners!

This is a topic that can invoke great discussions and it may seem like you are splitting hairs on the subject.

 Many will defend the stance that "we are sinners saved by Grace" while others will tell you that "we are Saints that sometimes sin". 

As we continue our Grace messages from a New Covenant perspective, Bob, Todd and John share what we believe is correct if we are followers of Jesus and believers in what the Bible teaches.

What are you and what has influenced your decision to think that way. The Anchormen will look at what scripture says as the apostle Paul travels throughout his journeys through Ephesus, Corinth, Galatia and throughout the middle east. 

Comes down to the question, Is Paul right or was the scripture wrong?

Join us this week as we have a casual conversation between Saints, or are they sinners?

In the old testament in the book of Joshua we read where Joshua and his family take a stand against the evil that he sees all around him.

Joshua 24:15

But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

Today we will look inside Bob, Todd and John's faith and what it means to them to stand for God and put Him first in everything we say, do and how we live each day. 

Join us as we proudly proclaim,

"A For Me and My House, We will serve the Lord"

When the apostle Paul went on his missionary trips he spoke to the Jews and Gentiles in Ephesus, he had a lot to critique, but he chose to encourage and warn Jews and Gentiles about following those that feel we have to continue to follow the laws of the old covenant instead of living by faith and Grace givin" to us by God. 

The many scripture references we mention we encourage you to look at  for yourself to see what God had and continues to say about living by Grace and not by works.

Ephesians 2:3.-2:8-13.-2:18-19.-3:1.-3:17.-5:17-19.-6:8

Romans 1:8

What is Church?

What's the purpose of the Church?

Are today's churches getting the Gospel all wrong by not teaching Grace or are they teaching and sending out the wrong message to all those that attend?

Today, we are having a very candid conversation between Bob, John and Todd about our experiences at churches and where today's church may be missing the mark.

We took a vacation down south to Fort Myers Beach to relax and enjoy Florida in January and we found ourselves taking time to discuss what we feel about how "Church" may be missing the mark when it comes to teaching about the Grace of God and the good news of the Gospel.

Are we being flooded with the wrong message about God's grace and love for us?

Enjoy the casual conversation and give us your feedback.
