Hope - An anchor of the Soul
Hebrews 6:19
We need to go from being a believer in the principles of the doctrine of Christ, to realising the graces given us, and in what circumstances they are to be used and not cast away.
When the ship in which Paul was sailing to Rome got caught in a great storm, they lightened the ship, but did not cast away 4 anchors that they later needed and used.
So in our troubles hope is not to be thrown overboard, but kept and used as an anchor of the soul.
We gradually open the text as follows:
1/ Which hope - the sure hope described
2/ Which hope we have - a personal possession
3/ Which hope we have as an anchor of the Soul - Its use in time of trouble
This sermon was preached for Oakington Baptist Chapel in Cambridgeshire, in time of lockdown.
