Jesus wasn't 'canceled' for the miracles he performed or the people he healed, but for one bold claim he made about his identity.
This week Pastor Jake Watkins talks through the important question if Jesus is who he says he is, what does that mean for us?
Welcome to the Anchor Nights podcast.
It is so easy to get caught up in the trap of wanting more. More clothes. More shoes. More gadgets. More money. Jesus calls us to cancel the trap of more in our lives, by fighting the grip of materialism.
This week Pastor Jake Watkins talks through Jesus' parable of the rich fool, and how we need to refocus on what will really bring us fulfillment.
Welcome to the Anchor Nights podcast.
Are you struggling with the anxiety that comparison brings? Jesus teaches us to focus him and his kingdom, in which he gives us a specific lane to run in with the gifts he has given us.
Pastor Jake Watkins continues our series, Canceled, with this message "The Anxiety of Comparison", unpacking Jesus' desire to cancel the problem of comparison in our lives.
Have you ever been caught up in a situation you knew you shouldn't have been in? John 8 tells the story of a woman who was caught up, and how Jesus responded when she was brought before him. Through this interaction we can learn how Jesus views our situations, and how he doesn't want to see us get caught up.
It can be incredibly easy to cause controversy with our actions, and even more so with our words. No one knows this better than Jesus. He was effectively canceled and crucified on the cross, not for his miracles or his healings, but for the words he spoke. This week we look at Matthew 16:24-27 when Jesus calls his disciples to deny themselves, pick up their crosses, and follow him. In a world that seeks to please and satisfy "self" above all other, Jesus words go against the grain, and show us that the world does not revolve around ourselves.
James in chapter 5 talks about the importance of prayer in a believer's life and how our faith directly impacts our prayers. This week, guest speaker Rachael Rutherford bring us a message on 'prayer that works'.
James was concerned for the early church and how their faith was functioning. His letter to the early church is still relevant to us today, and James gives us 5 symptoms to look for in order to identify a faith that is not functioning. We hope you enjoy!
What you say can have a profound impact, and actually the Bible really affirms that your words are powerful. James talks about how we use our speech in chapter 3 of his letter, and this episode we dive into what he said. We hope you enjoy!
James, in chapter 2 of his letter, makes a bold claim that faith without works is dead. He even goes as far to say that we are "justified by works". Paul, in his letter to the Romans, argues the very opposite of this and says we are "justified by faith alone". How do we reconcile these two seemly contradictory passages of scripture? And what does James really mean? Let's find out.
In this episode CrossCity's Next Gen Director, Jaime Swayne, walks us through James 2:1-13 and how following Jesus should change the way we treat the people around us.
In a new series through the book of James, we answer the question "how can we have a faith that works?". In the first chapter, James challenges his readers to be doers of the word, not just hearers. What does that even mean? Find out in this episode!
Everyone has enemies at some point in their lives. For each of us, our enemies may look different, but how Jesus calls us to handle them is the same. Acts 9 shows us how Jesus and the early church handled one of their greatest persecutors, Saul of Tarsus.
Jesus was a pro at the "one convo maneuver". In just one simple conversation, he could change someone's life. Jesus equips us to do the same thing, and in Acts chapter 8 Philip has an encounter with an Ethiopian man that gives us a look at how we can bring life in just one conversation.
Life is full of roadblocks. Moments where we hit walls and wonder: "what the heck?", "where is God?", "why me?", "why now?". What we do at these roadblocks determines our outcomes, so what do we learn from the young church in Acts chapter 8 when they deal with a massive roadblock? Let's find out.
In Acts 3, an ordinary day turns into a miraculous encounter for a paraplegic on the steps outside of the temple in Jerusalem when Peter and John come walking by. What can we learn from this story and how can it shape our faith? Pastor Jake Watkins dives into this story about two broke preachers and a crippled man.
Revival has been a hot topic with the recent events at Asbury University, where thousands of Christians worshipped and prayed for 11 days. Many believe we are seeing a revival happen in our country. This is not the last of the revivals we will see and it is definitely not the first. This week, Pastor Jake recounts that in Acts chapter 2 we see the first "revival" of faith in Jesus.
The early church was full of believers who embodied the living proof that Jesus was the Messiah. How can we do the same? Pastor Zach Rutherford starts this new series in the book of Acts.
Peace is easy to talk about, hard to accomplish. So how, in this crazy world gone mad, do we be peacemakers? We learn some pretty helpful tips throughout the Bible on how to be the makers of peace that Jesus calls us to be.
As a christian, peace making is part of your purpose. But why? Pastor Jake brings us some biblical reasons why we should be peacemakers in a crazy world.
From clinical anxiety to suicidal thoughts, Tyler shares his testimony of God's intervention through his friends and family that ultimately lead to healing, transformation, and freedom in his life.
In 1893 an artist named Edvard Munch painted one of the most recognizable pieces of art - "The Scream". It has been hailed as a timeless depiction of anxiety, and even Edvard himself described it has a "study of his own soul". On the outside we may seem calm, cool, and collected, but on the inside is a different story. YA Pastor Jake Watkins looks at Isiah 26 and what God says about inner peace.
People have been saying for years that the "world has gone mad", and recently that feels more true than ever. The early 2020's have been marked by chaos, mayhem, and cringey celebrity social media videos (we are looking at you Gal Gaddot). So in a world that has gone mad, how do we have peace? This week Pastor Jake talks about the gift Jesus leaves his disciples in John 14.
