Anthem Church

Just as we put on clothes that identify us as people with certain lifestyles, habits, and attitudes, our spiritual disciplines and practices are the means by which we become a new type of person - a person shaped by the example of Jesus. Matt Dennings walks through Ephesians 4:20-24, showing us how Christ has made it possible for us to put off our old selves, put on the new, and begin walking in a life full of potential and hope as we become more like Him.

Do you ever find yourself running through life without direction or a plan? In a world that constantly pulls us away from Jesus and desires that war for our attention and time, we need a plan to help us focus our lives and remember that we exist for the glory of God. As we continue our series on discipleship at Anthem, Matt Dennings shares from Ephesians 5:14-17 the importance of having a plan to use our time wisely and a resource we are making available to help you make a plan to prioritize what matters most: following Jesus in all of life.

We train for things that matter to us. Whether it’s physical training, academic endeavors, or professional ventures, we incorporate planning and rhythms into our lives that press us towards our goals. As followers of Jesus seeking to become more like Him, we need training, and 1 Timothy 4:7-10 tells us this spiritual training is of supreme value. Matt Dennings kicks off our Discipleship Pathway series by unpacking  1 Timothy 4:7-10 and outlining some next steps for how you can incorporate a plan and practices to press on towards deeper life with Jesus.

When entangled with guilt and shame, what can we look to that truly makes us righteous before a holy God?  The Passover points us to the idea of a sacrifice of atonement - God’s plan and prescription for the righteousness we lack. Matt unpacks the significance of the blood on the doorposts in Exodus 12, how it points to Christ’s atoning sacrifice, and how we can apply this forgiveness to others in our lives.

In the last plague on Egypt in Exodus 10:21-11:10, a culture idolizing immortality is confronted with the sting of death and darkness. As we find ourselves in an anxious culture similarly reinforcing the idea that we can achieve immortality through achievement, tranquilization with the trivial, or technology, we can take much hope in the God who sets us free from the fear of death through the death of Christ on the cross. Listen as Matt unpacks this, helping us learn how to stop running from death and start running towards life in Christ.

We all desire approval and dislike rejection, but what do we become as we seek approval as our ultimate means to achieve our desired life? In the plagues of hail and locusts, we see the false gods of Egypt exposed for their transactional nature and the hunger and brokenness that result. In this sermon on Exodus 9:13-10:20, Matt shows us how the pursuit of approval leads to crises in our modern day and how the liberating truth of our union with Christ frees us from the exhausting pursuit of proving ourselves.
