"The Heart Of A Shepherd" Acts 20:17-38 (Pastor Brandon Henson)

"The Heart Of A Shepherd" Acts 20:17-38 (Pastor Brandon Henson)

In this episode of the Anchor Church Podcast, we hear a powerful farewell moment from the Apostle Paul in Acts 20. After years of fruitful but costly ministry, Paul knows suffering lies ahead—and he may never see his beloved Ephesian leaders again. So he stops in Miletus to pour out his heart. What follows isn’t just a message—it’s a legacy. Like a soldier’s final letter home, Paul’s words carry weight, urgency, and deep love. He reminds them—and us—what matters most: living well, leading faithfully, guarding the flock, and finishing the race. This week, Pastor Brandon walks us through one of the most emotional and instructive scenes in Acts, showing that what you build with your life is determined by what you’re willing to give away.

"Adaptation" Acts 20:3-12 (Pastor David Kang)

Podcast Title: "Adaptation" Scripture: Acts 20:3–12 Speaker: Pastor David Description: In this inspiring sermon from Acts 20:3–12, Pastor David reminds us that in God, we have power—the power of persistence, perseverance, and purpose. Through the story of Paul’s unwavering commitment and the miraculous revival of Eutychus, we are called to focus our hearts and lives on the One who gives us strength. With encouragement from John 11:11, Colossians 1:9–12, and Ephesians 4:22–23, this message speaks to the deep truths of the Christian life: * The magnitude of our focus is the altitude of our persistence. * Perseverance says “I can,” resilience says “I did.” * The grip of the Shepherd is always stronger than the stumble of the sheep. We are reminded that in the Gospel, there is a purpose to serve (Mark 10:45), and that serving is a form of worship. But to walk in God’s power, we must first believe in His power. Whether you're feeling weary or wondering what’s next, this message will stir your faith and refocus your heart on the power that comes from God alone.

"Leading Through Conflict" Acts 19:21-20:2 (Pastor David Kang)

Conflict is inevitable—but how we lead through it makes all the difference. In this episode, we explore the biblical account of Paul’s experience in Ephesus and draw out practical wisdom for navigating turbulent times with clarity and conviction. Discover the three parts of every conflict—the reason, the recognition, and the resolution—and learn how to lead with love, forgiveness, and truth at the core. We’ll dive into key Scriptures like Ephesians 3:17 and John 3:16–18, and reflect on what it means to be aligned with the Way, not just stuck in our way. With insights on effective communication, godly connection, and the freedom found in forgiveness, this episode is for every leader seeking divine guidance in the heat of struggle. Whether you’re facing conflict at work, home, or within your church, this conversation will equip you to lead with grace and truth in the midst of it all.

"No Rival" Acts 19:8-20 (Pastor Brandon Henson)

In this powerful message from Acts 19:8–20, Pastor Brandon walks through Paul’s ministry in Ephesus—a city saturated with spiritual darkness, superstition, and false power—and shows how the name of Jesus proved to have no rival. Through mighty miracles, counterfeit exorcists, and radical repentance, we see that God’s power not only overcomes every stronghold but also demands our full surrender. This episode challenges us to burn the bridges back to sin, confront the false powers in our own lives, and trust in the unmatched authority of Jesus.

"The Gospel Grows Us And Sends Us" (Rev. Brandon Henson) Acts 18:23-19:7

In this message from Acts 18:23–19:7, Pastor Brandon unpacks how the gospel doesn’t just save us—it shapes us and sends us. As Paul begins his third missionary journey, we see a model for Spirit-empowered discipleship: strengthening what’s been started, sharpening what’s sincere, and clarifying what’s confused. Through Paul’s care for growing believers, Priscilla and Aquila’s humble guidance of Apollos, and the transformation of confused disciples in Ephesus, we’re reminded that discipleship isn’t about perfection—it’s about formation. When the gospel is fully understood, faithfully lived, and humbly passed on, it multiplies. This message challenges us to stop coasting on past moments and step into deeper growth—both for ourselves and for others.
