Antioch Waco

Senior Pastor Jimmy Seibert continued our Anchored In series, honing in on 2 Chronicles 7:11-14. No matter the trial or what form it comes in, we know through this passage that our response is to humble ourselves, pray and seek God's face and repent, knowing that in turn, He promises to hear us, forgive our sins and heal our land. The time is now to posture ourselves humbly before God as He draws near to us.

Senior Pastor Jimmy Seibert continued our Anchored In series. The reality is that this pandemic will eventually pass, but the question to answer is, “What will be said of us of how we lived in the in-between?” Even with everything going on around us today, this is not the time to sit back. Through faith in God and patience, we believe it is time to inherit the promises and move forward as a church.

Senior Pastor Jimmy Seibert kick-started our new series, Anchored. Even in all of the chaos of this time, we believe that this is still the year of the open hand: one reaching up to heaven as we grow in our relationship with God and the other hand reaching out to others in compassion and outreach. God has called us to make Him our fixed point, to love Him with all of our hearts, love our neighbors as ourselves and love those in need.

Family Pastor Vincent Carpenter wrapped up our Super Natural series with a sermon on the fruit of the Holy Spirit. The fruit has nothing to do with us but can only be produced by the power of the Holy Spirit at work inside us. While we can't produce it, we can cultivate our lives in such a way that spiritual fruit can grow, sowing in the spirit in what we listen to, think about, talk about and how we respond in life.

John, a long-time member of the Antioch Movement, shared how when ordinary people spend time with Jesus they become extraordinary. When you walk with Jesus every day, everything is possible, and what we may think is crazy is actually normal in the Kingdom of Heaven. What if today we realized that we are walking with Jesus? What if we became so impressed with Him and who He is that we were expectant for the next impossible thing He invited us into? Be sure to tune in next week as we kick off our new series.

Lead Pastor Carl Gulley shared the story of the early church in Acts, the challenges they faced and how our church family has faced similar issues as we've grown.

Our U.S. Director Drew Steadman did an overview of the book of John, drawing parallels between John and Genesis, diving into how our New Year can look different in light of what God did on Christmas.
