Hope our Anchor of the Soul

Hope our Anchor of the Soul
Hebrews 6:9-20
We have an anchor..
Hebrews 6:19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil..
Anchors prevent drifting
The Hebrew Christians needed Hope..
Hebrews 2:1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.
Heb 6:18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

Hebrews 6:9-12 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation,12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Remember the refuge they found in Christ
Hold on to the hope they had found
We need this Hope..
Anyone “in Christ” can expect Salvation..
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Are we distracted from this hope?
Are we growing and feeding our hope?


We cannot avoid storms..
