Anthem Church

True wisdom isn’t measured by how much we know or how long we’ve lived, but by how we live—and James 3 reminds us that the wisdom from heaven produces humility, peace, mercy and good fruit. As we fear God, ask for wisdom, learn from those we can imitate, and choose contentment over restless desire, we discover that what God ultimately offers us is more than wisdom: friendship with Him, expressed t...

James reminds us that faith is more than something we say—it is something that begins to show up in the way we live, love, and speak. We are saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8–10), but genuine faith bears fruit: “I will show you my faith by my deeds” (James 2:18). So, where is Jesus inviting your faith to become visible this week?

Jesus didn’t model a life without pressure; He modelled a life that wasn’t controlled by pressure. Through His example, we learn to choose design over demand, faith over fear, and peace over pride. Anxiety invites us to control what we cannot control, but Jesus calls us to surrender, trust God, and take responsibility for our next obedient step.

True wisdom isn’t measured by how much we know or how long we’ve lived, but by how we live—and James 3 reminds us that the wisdom from heaven produces humility, peace, mercy and good fruit.

In Mark 6, Jesus sees a hungry crowd and responds with compassion. While the disciples see a problem that feels too big to solve, Jesus invites them to be part of the solution. Through the miracle of the five loaves and two fish, we discover that God can do far more than we imagine when we trust Him and take a step of faith. Guest speaker Tony Rainbow challenges us to see the need, own the challen...

Salvation is more than a moment of decision—it is a life continually being transformed by Jesus. James reminds us that genuine faith becomes visible in how we treat others, how we live, and even how we use our words: faith without works is dead (James 2:14–24), and our tongues reveal what is happening within us (James 3:6–12). What would the evidence of your faith look like if someone could see it...

In James 1, we discover that trials don't have to destroy us. God can use the pressure we face to develop perseverance, maturity and wholeness in us. James challenges us to ask God for wisdom, hold firmly to faith, receive His Word, and put it into practice. The pressure pushing against you can become the pressure moving you forward. As we keep the faith, God forms us into people who are not o...

Doubt doesn’t have to be the opposite of faith—but when we allow it to sow confusion, it can leave us unstable and paralysed. James 1 reminds us that the testing of our faith can produce perseverance, maturity, and a faith that stands firm; so rather than being blown about by every wind, let’s keep showing up, hold tightly to what we know, and choose to follow Jesus again today.

Generosity isn’t determined primarily by what we have, but by what we believe about the One who provides. In 2 Corinthians 8–9, the Macedonians show us that overflowing joy can produce rich generosity even in seasons of pressure—when we trust God as our provider, recognise what is in our hands, and prepare to sow for a future harvest. The invitation is simple: trust God, follow His pattern, and ta...

The gospel is not about polishing the outside of our lives—it is the power of God for salvation (Romans 1:16), transforming the heart and securing our eternity with Jesus. When we know the good news, we no longer need to be ashamed of it; instead, eternity reshapes how we live today and calls us to become messengers of that good news. Where do you want to be in 100 years—and how will you live toda...

What does it look like to become a man of wisdom? Paul Edy reminds us that wisdom isn’t simply knowing what to do, it’s learning to hear God, trust His ways and obey His voice, allowing humility, prayer and the Spirit to shape our decisions.

In challenging times, generosity isn’t determined by what we have, but by the condition of our hearts. 2 Corinthians 8–9 shows us a better way: trust God as our provider, steward what He’s placed in our hands, and prepare to be generous on every occasion. What is God inviting you to sow?

Generosity isn’t meant to be driven by emotion, but shaped by principle—choosing to steward, seed, save and spend in ways that honour God and impact generations. As 2 Corinthians 9:7 reminds us, God loves a cheerful giver, so let’s rethink our relationship with money, trust His provision, and take a step towards leaving a legacy that is bigger than our lives alone.

God always has a future for His people—and He invites us to prepare for it, not just wait for it. From Joshua 1 and Ephesians 2, we see that the promise comes with a purpose: to move toward one another, become a reconciled people, and help others find rest. As we step into Sowing September, what if the question isn’t simply, “How much should I give?” but, “How much dare I keep?” — and what might G...

You are free in Christ—but freedom is more than having the prison door opened. In Galatians 5–6, Paul shows us how to learn to live free: trusting that Christ is enough, refusing to return to bondage, and allowing the Holy Spirit to produce His fruit in us. As we learn to listen to the Spirit, respond to His conviction and obey His next step, our faith begins to express itself through love.

We can spend our lives living in the Father’s house, following the rules, yet never experiencing the freedom, security and belonging of being part of His family. Through Christ, we are not merely welcomed as guests—we are adopted as sons and daughters by grace through faith (Galatians 3:6–9; 4:4–7), given a new identity and a family to belong to. What would it look like to stop living like an outs...

The Gospel can be perverted without ever removing Jesus from the message — by adding performance, culture or anything that makes Christ less than enough. Galatians 1:6–9 and 2:20 call us to preserve the truth of the Gospel and allow it to shape the way we live, belong and follow Christ. Will we reshape the Gospel to fit us, or let the Gospel reshape us?

Jon Cillier unpacks the Gospel of Christ crucified and the freedom found in Christ alone. Following Jesus means embracing the culture of His Kingdom, dying to ourselves, and trusting that His life, suffering, and glory become our story. Will we settle for a comfortable Gospel, or embrace the freedom of Christ crucified?

In this message, Jaci challenges us to carry what God began at Big WKND into a life of expanding capacity to love and serve. Through the story of the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4, she shows us how noticing, making room and taking initiative can turn simple generosity into something that grows.

In this Serve & Lead Equip Panel, Jaci & Richard Mun-Gavin sit down with Byron & Candice Chicken to explore what they believe God is calling Anthem into in the next season. Together, they unpack the posture, priorities and leadership required as we continue to serve His Church with faith, courage, and expectancy.

Five Tests for What's Next reminds us that God prepares us for every new season by shaping our character first. Drawing from John 21, the message reveals five tests every disciple and leader must continually pass: action, direction, credit, vision, and cost. As we faithfully respond to each test, God positions us for greater fruitfulness and influence. The invitation is to identify the test Go...

We all know what it is to feel spiritually thirsty, but Jesus reminds us in John 7:37–39 that only He can truly satisfy the deepest longings of our souls. As we accept His invitation, believe, drink deeply of His presence, and remain continually filled by the Holy Spirit, His life begins to overflow into every part of ours—and into the lives of those around us. The invitation is simple: come to Je...

When we gather in Jesus' name, we step into a "thin place" where God's presence becomes deeply real. Through Matthew 18:20 and Ephesians 2:19–22, we're reminded that together we encounter His Kingdom, His family, and His presence—so come expectant to meet with Him.

What kind of disciple will you become over a lifetime? In 1 Corinthians 12:12–26 and Ephesians 1:22–23, we discover that lasting faithfulness and joy are found by remaining a connected, functioning part of the body of Christ—resisting cynicism, overcoming offence, and refusing spiritual atrophy as we live from our identity as God's children. Stay close to Jesus by staying connected to His body...

Jesus doesn't just call us to stay with Him—He invites us to become people marked by love, courage, generosity, and unwavering faithfulness. Through Deuteronomy 7, Luke 24 and John 21, we discover that true transformation happens as we keep walking with Him, allowing His presence to shape us into the image of Christ. Wherever you're starting from, there is an invitation to become more than...
