When it comes to the Holy Spirit, the church often falls into one of two extremes — of either neglecting the Spirit, or seeking to ‘use’ him for our own gain. Are these the only two options we have? What does it look like for us to choose a 'third way'?

In the second message of our Paraklētos series, James plots a way forward for a church that neither neglects, or is ignorant, to the necessity of the Spirit, nor seeks to manipulate or manufacture his presence among us.

Paraklētos is a Koine Greek word meaning "one who comes alongside", and typically translated in the pages of the New Testament as Advocate, Comforter, Helper or Guide.

As we launch this new series on the person, work and ministry of the Holy Spirit, James invites us to see the indispensable nature of the Spirit's presence through Jesus' teachings about him in the Upper Room Discourse.

How does Jesus respond to our doubts? As a Christian, what does it look like to address our doubts — while avoiding the extremes of either letting them consume us, or suppressing them and pretending they don't exist?

Emma Darley shares a powerful, practical and helpful message on the topic of doubt.

We're now over a quarter way through the year, and you might be feeling the pinch of busyness, stress and worry beginning to accumulate. What does it look like to be a people who aren't characterised by a perpetual sense of 'running on empty', but are living out our everyday lives from a place of resource and purpose? How does Jesus model this for us?

Lead Pastor James Wong preaches a one-off message on the topic of spiritual disciplines in a fast-paced world.

"The invitation of Easter is to recognise the King who conquers; and to take his story on as our own — so that we might live in its light as a people of deeply grounded hope..."

Lead Pastor James Wong shares an Easter message on the hope, power and victory that is found in Jesus' death on the cross and resurrection to life.

A wrong view of Messiahship leads to a wrong view of discipleship. If we get Jesus' identity — and what he came to do wrong — we will also have misaligned expectations and beliefs and what it means to follow him.

In Mark 8:27-38 Jesus asks the most important question his prospective followers must answer: "Who do you say I am?" Pastor James takes us through this challenging passage as we bring our series on the first part of Mark's Gospel to a close.

What is the evidence that we need in order to posture ourselves in faith towards Jesus? And what is the role of understanding in one's faith and discipleship to Jesus?

Keith Meadows, part of the Leadership Team here at Anchor, helps us understand and apply Mark 8:14-21 with a powerful and practical message.

What does Jesus 'look' for when it comes to our relationship with him? What criteria actually count when it comes to being included as one of God's people? In Mark 7:24-30 we get an unlikely answer from the unlikeliest of places as Jesus encounters a remarkable woman from the notorious region of Tyre.

What does it mean to be a church planting church? What would it look like for us, a new church plant, to see Jesus be pleased to plant new churches through us one day?

In the final message from our vision series, PILLARS, guest preacher Pastor Matt Sparks from Anchor City teaches on our Multiplication Mandate.

What is our source of power as Jesus’ disciples? As we think about the life that Jesus has called us into: to follow him as disciples and to be sent out into our world as disciple-makers... Where can we find the power that we need for this invitation?

In this message from our vision series, PILLARS, we delve into the person of the Holy Spirit, and the necessity of His power for our lives and mission.
