We Have This Hope As An Anchor

Joni Brockelbank

Why Anchor our Ship? To keep from being wrecked, lost or totally destroyed. Matt 8:27 - “Who is this that even the winds and seas obey Him” Mark 4:39 - “He rebuked the wind and said to the sea Peace by still and the winds ceased and it was calm

Benefits of an Anchor An anchor is used to keep a vessel from being wrecked, lost or destroyed, and brings comfort and assurance to those aboard they aren’t being controlled by the storm or at its mercy. Is 25:4 - “He is a shelter from the storm” Phil 4:7 - “He gives us peace that passes all understanding” Eph 2:14-16 - “He Himself is our peace”

The Strength of an Anchor Anchors are made of heavy materials that enable it to bear the strain of a storm and wont corrode from the elements. 1 Pet 1:3 - Because of Christs resurrection from the dead He is our living hope.

What Do We Do With an Anchor? We hold tight -- not to the WHAT, but the WHO. Jesus. He is our hope. Ps 91:14-16 - "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.”

The Anchor Holds Isaiah 43:2 - “When you pass through the waters I will be with you, and when you pass through the rivers they will not sweep over you.”
