Anthem Church

What does it look like to become a man of wisdom? Paul Edy reminds us that wisdom isn’t simply knowing what to do, it’s learning to hear God, trust His ways and obey His voice, allowing humility, prayer and the Spirit to shape our decisions.

In challenging times, generosity isn’t determined by what we have, but by the condition of our hearts. 2 Corinthians 8–9 shows us a better way: trust God as our provider, steward what He’s placed in our hands, and prepare to be generous on every occasion. What is God inviting you to sow?

Generosity isn’t meant to be driven by emotion, but shaped by principle—choosing to steward, seed, save and spend in ways that honour God and impact generations. As 2 Corinthians 9:7 reminds us, God loves a cheerful giver, so let’s rethink our relationship with money, trust His provision, and take a step towards leaving a legacy that is bigger than our lives alone.

God always has a future for His people—and He invites us to prepare for it, not just wait for it. From Joshua 1 and Ephesians 2, we see that the promise comes with a purpose: to move toward one another, become a reconciled people, and help others find rest. As we step into Sowing September, what if the question isn’t simply, “How much should I give?” but, “How much dare I keep?” — and what might God be asking you to prepare today?

You are free in Christ—but freedom is more than having the prison door opened. In Galatians 5–6, Paul shows us how to learn to live free: trusting that Christ is enough, refusing to return to bondage, and allowing the Holy Spirit to produce His fruit in us. As we learn to listen to the Spirit, respond to His conviction and obey His next step, our faith begins to express itself through love.

We can spend our lives living in the Father’s house, following the rules, yet never experiencing the freedom, security and belonging of being part of His family. Through Christ, we are not merely welcomed as guests—we are adopted as sons and daughters by grace through faith (Galatians 3:6–9; 4:4–7), given a new identity and a family to belong to. What would it look like to stop living like an outsider and start living fully as a beloved child of God?

The Gospel can be perverted without ever removing Jesus from the message — by adding performance, culture or anything that makes Christ less than enough. Galatians 1:6–9 and 2:20 call us to preserve the truth of the Gospel and allow it to shape the way we live, belong and follow Christ. Will we reshape the Gospel to fit us, or let the Gospel reshape us?

Jon Cillier unpacks the Gospel of Christ crucified and the freedom found in Christ alone. Following Jesus means embracing the culture of His Kingdom, dying to ourselves, and trusting that His life, suffering, and glory become our story. Will we settle for a comfortable Gospel, or embrace the freedom of Christ crucified?

In this message, Jaci challenges us to carry what God began at Big WKND into a life of expanding capacity to love and serve. Through the story of the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4, she shows us how noticing, making room and taking initiative can turn simple generosity into something that grows.

In this Serve & Lead Equip Panel, Jaci & Richard Mun-Gavin sit down with Byron & Candice Chicken to explore what they believe God is calling Anthem into in the next season. Together, they unpack the posture, priorities and leadership required as we continue to serve His Church with faith, courage, and expectancy.
