Song: I've Anchored in Jesus
I've anchored in Jesus
the storms of life I'll brave;
I've anchored in Jesus
I fear no wind or wave;
I"ve anchored in Jesus
for He has power to save;
I've anchored to the Rock of Ages.

Hebrews 6:17-20 NCV "An Anchor for the Soul."
God wanted to prove that his promise was true to those who would get what he promised. And he wanted them to understand clearly that his purpose never change, so he made an oath. These two things cannot change: God cannot lie when he makes a promise, and he cannot lie when he makes an oath. These things encourage us who came to God for safety. They gave us strength to hold on to the hope we have been given. WE HAVE THIS HOPE AS AN ANCHOR FOR THE SOUL, SURE AND STRONG. It enters behind the curtain in the Most Holy Place in heaven, where Jesus has gone ahead of us and for us. He has become the high priest forever, a priest like Melchizedek.
Tony Callies: When we believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior, God gives us His promises that He will watch over us and protects us from evil and harm. By reading His promises in the Bible, our hope increased in God more and more. We believe that God will keep His oath that He will keep and fulfill all of His promises to us. Rejoice! God has NOT, ...NEVER change His mind about His promises for us. Rejoice! We are on our way to Heaven, our future home.
