In Conclusion
April 3, 2022
In our final installment in The Body series, we look back and summarize what we have studied over the last 3 months. More importantly, we look forward to how we can be responsible to live out God's vision of His church functioning well as one body with many parts.
Love Or Nothing
March 27, 2022
We have discussed how our God given gifts are to be utilized in the context of the body. This week we look at how the motivation to use those gifts must be from a heart of love. A good gift used in the wrong way is just annoying.
Reconciled To Reconcile
March 20, 2022
In this message, our kid's director Chrissy Davis shares why it matter that Anchor is a healthy church body. We have been given the ministry of reconciliation!
Different Kinds Of Gifts
March 13, 2022
Every believer is given spiritual gifts by the grace of God. There are different kinds of gifts, but one God who alone decides who receives which gifts. There are different kinds of gifts, but they are all to be used in a way that is most helpful to others. In this message we discuss how the gifts are still active within the Body of Christ and give practical steps to discover and activate the gifts God has given you.
Better Off Together
March 6, 2022
God has a vision for the individual that falls into alignment with His vision for the church body. There is no use comparing gifts, only choosing to be faithful with how God has gifted us. When we participate in the Body, we become together what we could never be alone.
Really Love Them
February 27, 2022
The motivation to use our many different gifts to strengthen the Body is found in sincere love. Romans 12:9-16 outlines for us what sincere love within the Body looks like, and calls us out to not pretend to love each other.
We Belong To Each Other
February 20, 2022
The body is such a beautiful metaphor for how God designed the Church to be a place of unity, diversity, and mutuality. Together, we become what we could never be on our own. God has graced each of us with different gifts that play a part in fulfilling His vision for His Body.
God’s Masterpiece
February 13, 2022
Not only is the Church called the Body of Christ, but we are God's masterpiece. He designed the Body to be an example of His incredible grace and kindness.
Living Stones
February 6, 2022
"You are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple". A single stone has little value and purpose, but when God puts a bunch of living stones together, He builds something special. What an amazing gift to be a stone that God wants to use to build his church!
Adopted Into A Mess
January 30, 2022
Through faith in the grace of Jesus, we are adopted as son's and daughters of God. Our adoption is into a family. Not only is God our Father, but we now have brothers and sisters. Family can be messy, but when we are a part of the body, we don't walk away from the messes.
Unity & Diversity
January 23, 2022
We are called the body of Christ. As practicing Christians, we are called to be a part of the body, not trying to fit in, but rather, belonging just how God uniquely made us. Ephesians 4:1-16
The Whole Body
January 16, 2022
As we kick off this series about belonging in the Body of Christ, we look at how the whole body is healthy and growing when each part is doing its part.
