Anthem ChurchThe LawDoes the Law given to Israel at Mount Sinai matter to us today? The Law, showing us how to relate to a holy God and others He has created, is woven into the very fabric of the world. It restrains societal sin, points us to Christ, and serves as a norm for conduct. In this sermon, listen as Matt explains the goodness and relevance of God’s laws in helping us relate to Him and His creation.---For more resources and information from Anthem Church, visit us at https://www.anthemcolumbia.com/

Anthem ChurchThe Disciple's PlanDo you ever find yourself running through life without direction or a plan?

Anthem ChurchThe Plagues Of Darkness And DeathIn the last plague on Egypt in Exodus 10:21-11:10, a culture idolizing immortality is confronted with the sting of death and darkness.

Anthem ChurchMaking Bricks Without StrawAs the Israelites are enslaved in Egypt in Exodus 5, Pharaoh responds to Moses’ pleas for their release by eliminating their resources and imposing greater burdens on their labor. They find themselves charged to make bricks from straw - overwhelmed, anxious, and left with no time or energy to clearly remember or reflect on the promises of God. In our day, we are similarly told to make bricks without straw as we are told to build our identities without any standard or framework for truth rooted in a loving and just Creator.
