4 Year Anniversary • November 3, 2024
We take a time to reflect on God’s faithfulness over the last 4 years and celebrate all that He has done in our community!
No Wonder • Kyle Smith • October 27, 2024
David was a man who was all too familiar with opposition, danger, family tension, and a volatile political climate. Yet in the midst of such difficult circumstances, he was still able to say "No wonder my heart is glad!" In this message, we take a look at David's words in Psalm 16 and discover how we too can have glad hearts in the midst of opposition, danger, family tension and a volatile political climate.
Be Ready • Deaette Powell • October 20, 2024
This week, Deaette Powell breaks down the parable of the 10 bridesmaids in Matthew 25. We are given the challenge as Christians to be alert and ready for Jesus' return.
By the Power of the Holy Spirit • Spencer Powell • October 13, 2024
Jesus calls the Holy Spirit our Helper and the Spirit of truth. Stemming from the past two week of messages about abiding in Christ and obeying His commands, we dive into the Holy Spirit's role in helping us abide and obey. We ask the question: Are you living in fellowship with the Holy Spirit daily?
Abide+Obey • Tucker Parman • October 6, 2024
Last week, we talked about the importance and necessity of abiding in Jesus. This brings us to a question - to what end? As disciples of Jesus are we called to develop a deep, intimate relationship with Jesus that never extends or flows outwards? This week, we look at the second half of the opening in John 15 and learn about the importance and call of not only abiding in Jesus, but obeying Him. Obedience to Jesus’ commands is the assurance that we are actually abiding in Him.
Endurance • Kyle Smith • September 22, 2024
In some of Jesus' final words, He communicates that it will be essential for HIs followers to endure. The author of Hebrews goes on to say that we are to "run with endurance the race God has set before us." As followers of Jesus, we should be developing our spiritual stamina as we experience challenges so that we can be of those that finish the race of faith well.
Suffering Like Christ • Tucker Parman • June 23, 2024
Whether we want to admit it or not, the message of the Bible is clear when it comes to suffering - it will happen. The question is, how should we respond? This week we look at how suffering, the very thing we all want to avoid, is one of the avenues that God uses to make us more like Jesus.
Our Resurrected Bodies • Jeff Valentine • June 2nd, 2024
Pastor Jeff Valentine walks us through 1 Corinthians 15 and shows us when we experience fear, anxiety, and worry about relationships, finances, vocation, health, etc., it can block our view of the future and what we have to look forward to. Working to see the big picture, rather than fixating on small parts of the picture can help us as followers of Christ in a world of anxiety.
Great Expectation • Kyle Smith • Easter Sunday • March 31st, 2024
Peter was an eyewitness to the empty tomb of Jesus who gave the rest of his life sharing the hope he found on that first Easter. He lets us know that even though this life has many trials, we can live with great expectation of the hope of eternity because God raised Jesus from the dead.
Responding to Life’s Costly Interruptions • Jim Hicks • March 24th, 2024
Passion week gives us two examples of how to respond the life’s costly interruption. Financial ruin, relational train-wreck, unwanted health diagnosis, or emotional bankruptcy. Jesus and Judas. How will you respond? Give your life for many, or take your life for yourself. We can respond the right way!

Backwards From Bema • Spencer Powell • November 26, 2023
Jesus paid a high price for the payment of our sins on the cross. Because of his sacrifice we get the privilege to receive the free gift of salvation, but what is required of us post salvation? Today, we look at what Scripture calls “the judgment seat of Christ”, and how it should affect all of our daily lives.
Anchor Overseers: Pastor Alex Chai • November 19, 2023
Everyone knows about Jonah and the “whale” but ever wonder why this book is included in the Bible? As we enter into this fascinating story, not as passive listeners but as active participants, we learn something about Jonah, about God’s heart for the nations, and about ourselves. Maybe we are more like this Old Testament prophet than we realize?
Vision Sunday • November 12, 2023
Last week we looked back at the faithfulness of God over the last year. This week we look forward to the vision we believe God is leading us into for this next year. There is some practical information relating to the questions of if we are going to transition to two services or if we are looking for another building. But we spend most of our time sharing The Anchored Path, our vision for how we feel lead to live out Ephesians 4:16.

But God/So God • Kyle Smith • April 9th, 2023
The miracle of Easter is not just the resurrection of Jesus, but that His resurrection provided everything necessary for our resurrection as well. We all were dead in our sin without the victory Jesus provided on that Easter morning over 2,000 years ago. But God saved us and gave us purpose! Praise God that the resurrected King is resurrecting humanity still today!
The Fruit of Salvation • Kyle Smith • April 2nd, 2023
The gospel does not just save us, but continues to grow righteous character in us until the day when we enter the presence of Christ for eternity. God does the heavy lifting of saving and maturing us, but we do get to participate by remaining in healthy connection to Jesus, our source of life.
In It For The Long Haul • Spencer Powell • January 29th, 2023
Jesus is calling his disciples to a lifetime of surrender and devotion to Him. In Matthew 7, Jesus teaches us that there are two paths, one leading to destruction and one leading to life. In an age where many are leaving the faith, will we be the ones to follow Jesus no matter the cost with an insatiable appetite for more of Him?
Christmas Eve 2022 • “Back To Their Flocks” • December 24th, 2022
The greatest news ever told was first delivered to shepherds in a field. After hearing the news and experiencing the presence of Jesus, the shepherds went back to the context from which they came, but never the same. This is what the story of Christmas is still resulting in today. Will you experience the presence of Jesus and then go back to your flocks this Christmas.
“The Gift of Rest” • Pastor Kyle Smith • December 18th, 2022
In our desire to be a healthy church that endures and to be people that finish well, we must consider the rhythms God designed us to operate in. To finish well, we must both run hard and rest well. In a culture where we can feel the pressure to constantly produce, how do we rest well? There are many wonderful strategies and disciplines that can be helpful, but the most essential avenue to rest is the presence of Jesus.
“Unity That Proves God Sent His Son” • Pastor Jeff Valentine • December 11th, 2022
In this message, Pastor Jeff Valentine (Missoula, MT) shares from John 17 when Jesus prays for our unity within the body of Christ. We are encouraged and challenged to pray for: 1) God to examine our hearts 2) make every effort to keep unity 3) consider others as better than ourselves.

“Unity in the Body” • Pastor Tucker Parman • November 27, 2022
In the book of Ephesians, there is a subtle thread that can be traced through the entire letter - unity. Over and over again Paul emphasizes the importance and significance of unity in our faith. One of the topics this shows up most in is unity in the body. Through the cross, Jesus has created a new humanity, bringing to himself people from all walks of life.
“Return To Your First Love” • Pastor Alex Chai • November 20th, 2022
