Anchor Church City

God's Vision for the world is to unite all things together under Christ. We play a part in God's mission as people who declare and demonstrate the reign of God in Christ. We also celebrate our partnership with Scott & Ruth and their work in the Philippines.

How do we endure in our faith for the long haul?

Guest preacher Adrian Tam from City To City Australia preaches on Luke 24:13-35.

A Movement Sunday message by Lead Pastor James Dawson of Anchor Northern Beaches.

What do we do when our heroes are exposed? Where do we turn when those we put our hope in let us down and disappoint us? James Wong points us to the only sure hope we have in the final installment of our series in 1 & 2 Samuel.

A Man After His Own Heart.

In a world of broken promises, we worship a faithful God who does not make promises with his fingers crossed behind his back!

We’re all waiting for things in life. The question is: will we trust God to bring them about in his timing, or will we take matters into our own hands and fast track our future? James Wong takes us through 1 Samuel 24 as David finds himself confronted with this very situation.

Have you ever come face to face with an insurmountable opponent? Where do you turn when confronted with an impossible situation? The famous story of David & Goliath teaches us three lessons about what to do when the odds seem stacked against you.

Does God delight in sacrifice or obedience? Doing things for him or doing what he says? Saul is rejected as king and we learn a key lesson about relating to God.

How often do we think we know better than God? How often do we desire worldly things because we've lost sight of who He has called us to be? These are some of the issues that plagued the Israelites; but they are issues our hearts still wrestle with today. James Wong shows us where hope can be found as he takes us through 1 Samuel 8.

How do we stand in the presence of a Holy God? Israel learnt the hard way the lesson of treating God like a lucky charm. God's holiness is uncompromising! We appreciate Jesus all the more in light of a deepening appreciation of the holiness of God.

Hannah is an example of waiting in faith, her story and song mirror Israels. Who among us can join in this dangerous & daring song, and sing like Hannah to our powerful, intervening, and gracious God?

God has been abundantly generous towards us in both creation & salvation. Our response if to be people who are abundantly generous like our God.

A Palm Sunday message from John 12:12-19.

A life or abundant, lasting fruit is the result of loving union and friendship with Jesus. 

Life is about the journey, not the destination right? If that's true, we have to admit that we're lost, and have a nagging sense of homesickness. What if there way a guide, a way? Jesus says 'I am the way.. and the truth, and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me." Explore this simple, yet profoundly counter cultural statement!

According to the late Benjamin Franklin there are only two certainties in this life: death and taxes. But what comes after death? Is there a hope beyond the grave available to us that is more than warm sentiment or wishful thinking? Jesus addresses this very question in John 11 as he makes his most dramatic claim yet.

Jesus redefines the nature of leadership 

Are you searching for something to satisfy the deepest longings of your soul? Jesus say, your search is over! He is the bread of life, whoever feeds on him will never be hungry again.

We are all searching for guides to follow. Whether it's for fitness advice, life coaching, investment portfolio tips or relationship principles - we all seek the wisdom and experience of others to help us on our journey of life. But how do we know who we should listen to? What makes someone a guide worth following? In John 8 Jesus makes his second "I am" statement - claiming that he is the ultimat...

Are you searching for something to satisfy the deepest longings of your soul? Jesus say, your search is over! He is the bread of life, whoever feeds on him will never be hungry again.

Vision Sunday 2023 | Part Two

Who are we? Why do we do what we do? Vision Sunday is a reminder of what makes us tick.

A Summer Series exploring themes from some of our favourite blockbuster movies. This series will help us “read” the messages our culture is preaching, and how they intersect with the gospel. Film and movies are one of the most powerful forces that shape our thinking and worldview. This Summer we’re ‘going to the movies’ together as we find out how Lord of the Rings (Jan 8 ), Creed (Jan 15), and Fe...
