Anchor South West

Prayer isn't a shopping trolley of requests that we ram into the gates of heaven? Prayer forms us! More than just 'asking', prayer is about communion with our Father, partnering with Him in what He's doing in the world, while he shapes us into the image of Jesus.

The only way to flourish in your faith and endure hardships is to meditate deeply on God's word! Scripture meditation is our 2nd practice in the way of Jesus.

What does it mean to "walk by the Spirit"?

What does it take to actually cultivate a life in the Spirit?

This week, Arnaldo will kick off our new series "The Way: Lives Ordered Around the Way of Jesus" by looking at these questions. And we'll learn that the very same Spirit that hovered over the waters in Genesis 1 was the same Spirit that empowered the mission and ministry of Jesus. And more than that, he's the same Spirit that enables us to live out of the love of Christ and into the mission of God.

We pray this teaching is a blessing and we see you at our gathering soon!

Last week Arnaldo kicked off our 2-week Vision series as we look ahead to 2022. 

This week we'll be looking at the call to "grow up" in Christ. Dallas Willard called discipleship the "Great Omission" from the Great Commission. There is a depth problem in our churches and by God's grace we want to not only go out with the gospel, but grow up in it. 

We pray this teaching blesses you and hope to see you at one of our gatherings soon. 

What a year it's been! We've experienced so many highs and so many lows as a new church but by God's grace we've made it to see our very first birthday!

Pastor Arnaldo will take the time to share his heart and vision for Anchor South West over two weeks and we'd love to have you as we explore what it means for us to grow up in Christ and go out in Christ. We pray this teaching is a blessing to you.

Would love to have you visit one of our gatherings!

Moving into 2022 is no small thing. We've just experienced some of the most traumatic years in recent collective history. What kind of people are we going to be in this coming year?

Pastor Arnaldo encourages us to keep the end in mind. As we explore Revelation 21:1-5, we'll be reminded that living out of the future will help us navigate these trying times by forming in us resilience, expectancy, and a non-anxious presence.

We pray you are blessed by this teaching and we'd love to have you at one of our gatherings in the future. 

Christmas is an amazing time of the year. Charged with beauty, and lights, and family, and gift-giving.

But was the first Christmas experienced that way?

Join us as we explore some of the often overlooked realities of Christmas. We pray you're blessed by this teaching and hope to see you at one of our gatherings in 2022.

And don't forget our first time back together is January 9, 2022! Blessings!

Christmas can mean a million different things to a million different people. But what is it really all about?

Tune in as Arnaldo takes us through John 1:10-13 and explores the invitation that is hidden in Christmas. 

We pray you're blessed by this and would love to meet you soon at our in-person Gatherings.

Christmas is one of the best times of the year. And if we need anything after a shocking couple of years ... it's a holiday season full of cheer. 

But is this what Christmas is all about? What do we miss when we bypass what makes Christmas not only beautiful, but necessary.

Join us, this 3rd Sunday of Advent to explore what Christmas reveals is true about us and the world. We pray you're blessed and hope to see you at one of our Gatherings soon. 

In a culture of tearing down, we're called to stand out as Christians.

This sermon is brought to you by James Dawson, pastor of the Anchor Northern Beaches church plant.

We pray you are blessed by this sermon & we look forward to sharing the upcoming advent season with you!
