Our Anchor Of Hope

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 15, 2022

Because of Jesus, we are able to go behind the veil to experience the grace of the Father. Jesus is our High Priest who goes before us, pulling us ahead like an anchor on a motor launch into the safety of the bay of heaven.

Today’s message is entitled “Our Anchor of Hope,” and I would like to open with an illustration. A naval officer from World War II once described how the battleships he was on survived terrible hurricanes in Chesapeake Bay.

Contributed by Tj Long Jr on Oct 13, 2023

Between Two Advents (Revelation 20) Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Nov 30, 2025

Revelation 20 speaks to Christians living in the “in-between”—after Christ’s first coming but before His return. In the tension of the middle, we find hope: Jesus wins, evil ends, and our future is secure.

Good morning! Please turn in your Bibles to Revelation 20. We come into worship this morning with what may be a once-in-a-lifetime alignment of circumstances, at least as far as a church calendar goes. It’s the first Sunday of Advent, when we begin focusing on Jesus’ coming into the world. It’s ...read more
