An anthem is a song that binds people together and sets them apart. It's the chorus that resonates in the hearts of those with a common belief. It's a place where the voice of an individual is added to the collective sound of a gathering. It's the sound of unity amplified as those with a Kingdom focus come together. Anthem Church is a community that exists to preach Jesus and love people. Our vision is to add a new sound to the timeless message of the gospel in the Sunshine Coast region.

Matt Dennings walks through Ephesians 4:20-24, showing us how Christ has made it possible for us to put off our …

There is a paradox within our faith: we are called to live and work with all our might, but we are also called into the rest, comfort, and peace of God. How does this work? The degree to which we allow our hearts to fully find rest in God is also the degree to which we will cease finding peace through our striving. God keeps us, holds us, and never…

The resurrection is not just an old event that we reference once a year. The resurrection is an eternal event that touches every moment of every year of our lives.

In Psalm 22, we see not only a depiction of life in a broken world, we see the portrayal of Jesus Christ on the cross, the perfect king dying in the place of sinners. In the cross, the joy and pain of Christ touches the joy and pain of our lives, pointing to hope and restoration on Easter Sunday.Av Pastor Andrew Clark

When entangled with guilt and shame, what can we look to that truly makes us righteous before a holy God? The Passover points us to the idea of a sacrifice of atonement - God’s plan and prescription for the righteousness we lack. Matt unpacks the significance of the blood on the doorposts in Exodus 12, how it points to Christ’s atoning sacrifice, a…

The triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday is an event of extravagant importance. Here he is, the coming king... but is he the king everyone expected? Is he the king we expect him to be today? He is the king that exceeds all our hopes; he is the King of Grace.Av Pastor Andrew Clark

In the last plague on Egypt in Exodus 10:21-11:10, a culture idolizing immortality is confronted with the sting of death and darkness. As we find ourselves in an anxious culture similarly reinforcing the idea that we can achieve immortality through achievement, tranquilization with the trivial, or technology, we can take much hope in the God who se…

We all desire approval and dislike rejection, but what do we become as we seek approval as our ultimate means to achieve our desired life? In the plagues of hail and locusts, we see the false gods of Egypt exposed for their transactional nature and the hunger and brokenness that result. In this sermon on Exodus 9:13-10:20, Matt shows us how the pur…

Anger in and of itself is not sin; it is one of a number of emotions we have been designed to feel. The command comes to us: be angry and do not sin. What does it look like to be righteously angry, how are we to feel, examine, and offer our anger before the Lord?Av Pastor Andrew Clark

Does abundance always lead to satisfaction? If so, in a world full of seemingly endless possibilities of what we can do or become, why do we find ourselves confused, exhausted, and irritated? In Exodus 8, we see the consequences of the false claim that abundance will always satisfy, and the countercultural solution: choosing the right constraints a…

Life has a way of working out such a way that it doesn't seem to match what God has promised us. How do we stay steadfast in times of wandering, when we feel like God sees us. Psalm 44 gives us wisdom in what it means to hold on when it feels like God is not with us.Av Joel Maginnis

In Exodus 6, a discouraged Israel hears the promises of God spoken by Moses, but does not listen. Why? They were suffering from a broken spirit due to their harsh circumstances.

As the Israelites are enslaved in Egypt in Exodus 5, Pharaoh responds to Moses’ pleas for their release by eliminating their resources and imposing greater burdens on their labor.

As Moses is called by God to confront Pharaoh in order to liberate a captive Israel in Exodus 4, he grapples with his insecurities and self-reliance.

We all experience a tension in life: the gap between where we are and where we want to be. This is not a unique experience, in fact those who walked with Jesus wrestled with the same hardship.

In the story of the burning bush in Exodus 3, we see God reveal His holy, compassionate, and faithful character to Moses in the midst of his day-to-day responsibilities and hardships. Often, we walk through our days with assumptions about God that hold us captive, but He sets us free as we look to Him and learn His unchanging character. Listen as M…
