Why do we suffer? It's one of the oldest questions we ask — and one of the hardest to sit with. In this message, Pastor Tony walks through the story of Job to remind us of something both sobering and comforting: Satan couldn't touch Job without God's permission. Nothing in our lives — not even our pain — happens outside of God's ultimate control.

This past Sunday was a beautiful picture of what this community is all about — celebrating baby dedications together, being fed by a powerful word, and simply doing life side by side. But more than anything, what filled our hearts was watching this family show up for each other.

Every hug, every conversation, every person who made someone feel welcomed — that’s the heartbeat of Anthem.

Here’s what we want you to know: at Anthem, there is not a single moment you have to carry alone. Not the quiet ache you haven’t told anyone about. Not the question you’re afraid to ask out loud. Not the joy you haven’t had anyone to share yet, either. We believe that showing up — really showing up, for one another — is one of the most sacred things we can do. So when you walk through our doors, you’re not just filling a seat. You’re stepping into a room full of people who want to know your name, remember your story, and sit with you in whatever season you’re in.

What a mighty and powerful God we serve who commands the universe, yet His heart stoops to pardon us!

Ephesians 2:4-5 says, 'But God, who is rich
in mercy, because of his great love that he had for us, made us alive with Christ even though we were dead in trespasses. You are saved by grace!' (CSB)
Rich in mercy signifies God's inexhaustibility that is overflowing and never runs out. His mercies are new every morning! Lamentations 3:23-23

Prayer still changes things.

Join us for Corporate Prayer as we come together in faith to pray for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing. Whether you are standing in need of prayer or standing in the gap for someone else, there is power when we gather and pray together.

There’s something powerful that happens when we stop standing apart and start standing together. Our unity service reminded us that real breakthrough shows up in oneness.

Chains broke. Walls came down. Hearts aligned. When God’s people gather in one accord, heaven moves different.

Psalm 133:1 How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

We love you, and we will continue to be praying for you and your family!
