What does integrity require?

Last week we introduced the idea of Biblical Wisdom and how it is God's invitation for us to learn from previous generations. 

This week we get to take a specific look at a specific first century example of how a relationship can be fortified and be successful. 

We will examine how vulnerability allows us to experience true relationships. Vulnerability allows others to be in a relationship with our true selves, instead of an ideal version of us.

As it turns out, vulnerability might just also play a key role in showing the Love and Grace of Jesus. 

Small Group questions

  1. Have you ever chosen to hide something about yourself so that others would think certain things about you? 
  2. How much effort do you put in to trying to influence what people think about you?
  3. How does someones opinion of us change how we feel about ourselves? Can that ever backfire?
  4. What would people close to us think about us if we were to tell them about our insecurities/weaknesses? 

Monthly schedule

Check out what we've got going on this month! 

  • March 12 - the noble experiment

    In this series, students will explore what it means to live with integrity, where who they are lines up with the way they live. In just 2 weeks, they'll learn how to live with personal integrity, relational integrity and sexual integrity. The goal? To help them become whole, healthy people who live with purpose!

  • march 19 - elevate

    Elevate: Raising the bar for conversations about people and different beliefs

    This one time teaching takes students on a journey where they consider what culture, their generation, and what God thinks about a certain relevant cultural topic. This encourages students to consider how the way of Jesus guides them to love and serve someone who's beliefs are different than their own. 

  • march 26 - elevate

    Elevate: Raising the bar for conversations about an uncertain future

    What do we do when things aren't clear? When the future seems unstable and uncertain? As a teenager, standing on the brink of so many new things, navigating what's unknown and chaotic isn't always easy for your teen. That's why, in this one night teaching, we will unpack what it really means to follow Jesus and trust God into and through the unknown. 

  • April 2 - pre spring break hangout

    Come and join us for a regular Anthem night that will include more games, some snacks and lots of hang out time! 

  • April 9 - Spring Break - NO ANTHEM

    Due to it being spring break, there will be NO ANTHEM on April 9th. We will meet back up again on April 16! Have a great break! 

  • April 16 - How to see God

    What does it really mean to see God at work in our hearts, lives and world on an everyday basis? That's the big question we hope to answer for students in this series! While they may not be able to physically see God in a concrete way, they can look for the fruit of God's Spirit as evidence of God's presence in their own lives and in the world around them.

  • april 30 - essentials

    What does it mean for a teenager to be resilient? Our goal in this series is to help teenagers see the way following Jesus and finding hope, rest, help and comfort in Him can develop strength and resilience over time. While it won't always be easy, when they find their source of resilience in Jesus, they can rest assured that they'll always be able to come back from any setback.
