Anchored: Becoming Like Christ
Ann Arbor Community Church Sermon Podcast
Anchored: Becoming Like Christ - Jonathan Hurshman - . Watch our livestream Sundays @ 11:00am - Summary: Jonathan sets the stage by showing that a centered-set mindset only works if we have clear language for who and what is at the center—Jesus and his ways. He compellingly highlights our need for Christlikeness, reminding us that it is the whole point of the Christian life. The term itself means “little Christs”—people who imitate and resemble Jesus. Yet one of the failures of the Western Church, he notes, is that few of our coworkers and neighbors associate being...

Anchored: Steeped in Scripture
Ann Arbor Community Church Sermon Podcast
Anchored: Steeped in Scripture - Pastor Donnell T. Wyche - . Watch our livestream Sundays @ 11:00am - Summary: In this sermon from the Anchored series, Pastor Donnell names a tension many feel but struggle to articulate: we are surrounded by more information than ever, yet feel increasingly anxious, disconnected, and unsteady. Turning to Book of Romans (15:4–7), he reframes the problem. What we lack is not access to answers, but a deeper kind of formation—one that shapes who we are, not just what we know. Drawing on Paul’s language, the sermon presents Scripture as a...

Anchored: Rooted In Grace - Pastor Hannah Witte - . Watch our livestream Sundays @ 11:00am - Summary: Pastor Hannah invites us to anchor our lives in the person and grace of Jesus in a world marked by anxiety, injustice, and constant pressure to prove ourselves. Drawing from Titus 3:3–7, Pastor Hannah reminds us that left to ourselves we fall into broken patterns that harm our relationships, but God, in kindness and love, comes to us through Christ—not because of anything we’ve done, but because of mercy—to bring renewal, reconciliation, and life. In contrast to a...

Ann Arbor Community Church Sermon Podcast
Jesus' Enduring Questions - Simon, Son of John, Do You Love Me? - Pastor Donnell T. Wyche - . Watch our livestream Sundays @ 11:00am - Summary: In this Easter message, “Jesus’ Enduring Questions: Do you love me?” (John 21:15–19), Pastor Donnell invites us into the quiet, powerful moment on the shoreline where the risen Jesus meets his disciples after the resurrection. While the resurrection has already stunned and surprised them, the disciples are still trying to make sense of it all—returning to what is familiar, carrying grief, confusion, and unfinished stories in...

Jesus' Enduring Questions - What Shall I Say?
Ann Arbor Community Church Sermon Podcast
Jesus' Enduring Questions - What Shall I Say? - Pastor Hannah Witte - . Watch our livestream Sundays @ 11:00am - Summary: Pastor Hannah invites the church this Palm Sunday to enter into the story of Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem and to see for themselves what kind of king he is. By imagining the scene through the eyes of the crowd, the sermon highlights the tension and excitement surrounding Jesus—hailed as king after performing miracles like raising Lazarus, yet arriving not with power or violence, but humbly on a donkey. Jesus is a radically different kind of king: one who...

Jesus' Enduring Questions: Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?
Ann Arbor Community Church Sermon Podcast
Jesus' Enduring Questions - Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not what I say? - Pastor Donnell T. Wyche - . Watch our livestream Sundays @ 11:00am - Summary: We've been exploring Jesus' penetrating questions throughout this series, the way he comes to us not first with answers, but with inquiries that expose our hearts. Like God in the garden, moving toward Adam when Adam was hiding, Jesus approaches us with questions that give us a clear chance to practice honesty and find intimacy with him. And today, he asks one of the most unsettling questions in the Gospels: "Why do...

Jesus' Enduring Questions - Who Do You Say I Am? - Pastor Hannah Witte - . Watch our livestream Sundays @ 11:00am - Summary: Pastor Hannah invites the church to imagine what it means to truly answer Jesus’ question, “Who do you say I am?” After reflecting on the community’s shared life—its desire for deeper relationships, spiritual growth, and faithful presence in the world—the message turns to the moment in Matthew 16 when Jesus leads his disciples to the spiritually dark city of Caesarea Philippi and asks them to name who they believe he is. In that unlikely place,...

Jesus' Enduring Questions - What Do You Have? - Dave Paladino - . Watch our livestream Sundays @ 11:00am - Summary: We continue sitting with Jesus' enduring questions that expose reality and invite us to repentance this Lenten season. Dave contrasts the two banquets in Mark 6—Herod’s feast of power and violence, and Jesus’ feast of compassion and life—to show how God’s kingdom confronts evil differently. Jesus invites his followers to become “under-shepherds” who both resist external injustice and cultivate soft, compassionate hearts, refusing the false choice...

Jesus' Enduring Questions - Why Are You So Afraid?
Ann Arbor Community Church Sermon Podcast
Jesus' Enduring Questions - Why Are You So Afraid? - Martha Balmer - . Watch our livestream Sundays @ 11:00am - Summary: This season, we are centering our life together around the questions of Jesus—questions that do not trap or shame, but restore and renew. When Jesus turns to his first disciples and asks, “Why are you so afraid?”, he invites them to be really honest about their inner world, that they might become free from fear and full of faith. We believe discipleship begins there: not in performance, but in honesty. Instead of rushing to answers, we are learning to let...
