Anthology Church Sermons

Anger feels powerful, but if left unchecked, it burns more than we think.

Field Notes is a practical summer teaching series built around everyday wisdom for real life. These messages are designed to help people see how following Jesus speaks into ordinary decisions, habits, reactions, words, boundaries, freedom, and thought patterns.

Real freedom is not doing whatever you want. It is becoming the kind of person who is no longer ruled by what owns you.

This summer at Anthology, we’re in a series called Field Notes: Wisdom for Real Life. These messages are about the everyday stuff that quietly shapes us — our words, our boundaries, our freedom, our anger, and our thought life. The goal is not just to become more informed, but to become the kind of people whose real lives are being changed by the wisdom of Jesus.

Jesus had a rhythm of getting away by Himself and getting into silence. If He did it we should pay attention to it too.

Jesus is not one spiritual option among many. He is the clearest revelation of God, the one who comes for us, gives His life for us, rises for us, and invites us into life with God.

Everybody has questions.
Some are intellectual. Some are personal. Some come from pain, disappointment, father wounds, church hurt, or the pressure of trying to figure out what you actually believe.
In Tough Questions, we’ll bring those questions into the open and look at how Jesus meets us with truth, grace, and a better story than the one we’ve been carrying.
This series is not about pretending faith makes every question easy. It is about learning to bring our real questions into the light and discover that Jesus is not afraid of them.

God is not looking for impressive, polished, emotionally fluent people. He is a Father who knows what we are made of and runs toward people who come home.

Christian hope does not minimize pain or explain it away. Jesus enters our grief, and the gospel gives us a future strong enough to tell the truth about what hurts now.

The Bible is not asking us to check our brains at the door. It invites us to examine a trustworthy story that has been given to lead us to Jesus and train us for real life.

This sermon is for people who are still showing up, serving, parenting, working, and trying to follow Jesus, but joy feels thin.
They are not necessarily quitting. They may even look responsible, dependable, and useful. But underneath, they may be living like spiritual life is mostly duty, output, and responsibility.

Most people do not feel heroic. They feel tired, overlooked, scared, inconsistent, or stuck. This series shows how God works through ordinary people with ordinary struggles—and how the way of Jesus meets us in real life and starts to reshape us from the inside out.

Guest speaker Tim Cole walks through James 2 and challenges us to confront the subtle ways we judge, rank, and show favoritism toward people.
