Welcome to the Anchor Nights Podcast.

Jesus wasn't 'canceled' for the miracles he performed or the people he healed, but for one bold claim he made about his identity.

This week Pastor Jake Watkins talks through the important question if Jesus is who he says he is, what does that mean for us?

Welcome to the Anchor Nights podcast.

It is so easy to get caught up in the trap of wanting more. More clothes. More shoes. More gadgets. More money. Jesus calls us to cancel the trap of more in our lives, by fighting the grip of materialism.

This week Pastor Jake Watkins talks through Jesus' parable of the rich fool, and how we need to refocus on what will really bring us fulfillment.

Welcome to the Anchor Nights podcast.

Are you struggling with the anxiety that comparison brings? Jesus teaches us to focus him and his kingdom, in which he gives us a specific lane to run in with the gifts he has given us.

Pastor Jake Watkins continues our series, Canceled, with this message "The Anxiety of Comparison", unpacking Jesus' desire to cancel the problem of comparison in our lives.

Have you ever been caught up in a situation you knew you shouldn't have been in? John 8 tells the story of a woman who was caught up, and how Jesus responded when she was brought before him. Through this interaction we can learn how Jesus views our situations, and how he doesn't want to see us get caught up.

It can be incredibly easy to cause controversy with our actions, and even more so with our words. No one knows this better than Jesus. He was effectively canceled and crucified on the cross, not for his miracles or his healings, but for the words he spoke. This week we look at Matthew 16:24-27 when Jesus calls his disciples to deny themselves, pick up their crosses, and follow him. In a world that seeks to please and satisfy "self" above all other, Jesus words go against the grain, and show us that the world does not revolve around ourselves.

James in chapter 5 talks about the importance of prayer in a believer's life and how our faith directly impacts our prayers. This week, guest speaker Rachael Rutherford bring us a message on 'prayer that works'.

James was concerned for the early church and how their faith was functioning. His letter to the early church is still relevant to us today, and James gives us 5 symptoms to look for in order to identify a faith that is not functioning. We hope you enjoy!
