The Anchor
The Anchor explores how God anchors us while our choices—chains—can either bind or free us spiritually. Rooted in the New King James Bible using people and parables from The Word Hebrews 6:19 (NKJV): “This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil.”
Episodes
“Above Circumstances” is a sermon reminding us that we don’t live under what surrounds us—we live under God. Your response to darkness reveals your foundation, your faith, and your real message.
Patient obedience is trusting God’s timing without rushing His process—remaining faithful in silence, steadfast in delay, and devoted in every small task until His promise is fulfilled in His way.
A powerful message from Nehemiah 2 calling believers to rebuild their lives, communities, and faith—even in brokenness. God’s hand empowers us to rise, unite, and build while it’s still broken.
You can’t walk into God’s future holding yesterday’s baggage. Shut the door, move forward, and trust His new beginning.
“The Sword” is a sermon about God’s Word as our weapon—sharpened through obedience, wielded in spiritual warfare, forged through trials, and powerful enough to cut through lies, fear, and darkness.
Jesus marveled twice: at the centurion’s great faith (Matthew 8:10), trusting His authority, and at Nazareth’s unbelief (Mark 6:6), rejecting Him despite His miracles, revealing contrasting responses to His ministry.
After the fire, the forge, the anvil, and the hammer—God reveals His purpose: to make you a sharp, useful, holy weapon in His hands
The Anvil is where shaping happens. It’s not the fire, and it’s not the hammer—it’s the place God holds you steady while He forms you through impact. Purpose is forged here.
The forge is where raw steel meets fire, hammer, and purpose—shaping strength through heat, pressure, and process. It’s the painful place where weapons are formed, purified, and made ready.
Fire is not just for destruction—it’s for refinement. God uses trials like fire to burn away what’s impure and strengthen what’s eternal, shaping us into vessels of purpose and power.
The Blacksmith is the story of a God who doesn’t discard the broken, dull, or forgotten—but shapes them with fire
“The Lighthouse, the Anchor, the Way” navigates us through storms by shining truth in darkness, securing our soul in chaos, and guiding every step toward peace, purpose, and the presence of God.
“Time to Choose” is the moment where comfort ends and conviction begins. You can’t serve two masters—every step either honors God or denies Him. Neutrality is surrender. Choose boldly.
Caves are places of hiding, healing, and transformation. In Scripture, God meets people in caves during fear or failure—turning isolation into encounter, and weakness into preparation for future strength.
Peter mending his nets symbolizes preparation, restoration, and readiness for a new assignment. Before Jesus called him to fish for souls, Peter was fixing what was broken—physically and spiritually.
The strength of the chain is dependent on your level of faith. Hook it to the Anchor of Jesus Christ. He will never move
Every time you level up spiritually, the enemy levels up his attack — but God never calls you higher without equipping you with greater power.
This is the story of a prophet whose last miracle came after he was dead — and how his bones preached a better sermon than some men do alive
