The Anchor for Our Souls (Hebrews 6:18-19)
– Fire is predictable. (Wild fires in Canada)
– Fire will react under the same conditions, the same way, every single time. But, no one knows what those conditions will be.
– Structure fire VS Wildland fire. It’s the difference between Lifeguarding at the pool, or at the ocean. A House is a box, but the Wild has no boarders.
– Wild Fires are unpredictable. They can sneak up on you. It’s a dangerous place to be.
– You need to stay connected to a place of refuge. A way to escape from the chaos and danger that threatens to surround you.
– You need an anchor point.
– All firefighting operations MUST begin from an anchor point, a place connected to an area of refuge. A safe and trustworthy place where the fire cannot surround you. (A fire break, or large clearing.)
– In a house fire you need one too. It’s not called that, but it is the same thing. (Your crew is connected to the hose, and the hose is connected to the fire engine. The hose, safe place in a building full of fire and chaos.) Never lose track of your area of refuge, and how to get there!
– Your life needs an anchor point too!
– Something that keeps you firmly connected to the area of refuge.
– When the chaos and fire of life tries to surround you, you need a place where your soul can rest easy.

– Hebrews was written for people who were experiencing a difficult time because of their commitment as Christians.
– Life isn’t easy, even when things seem to be going right. But hardship and struggles happen to everyone; the believer in Christ and those living for the world.
– These Christians need to practice patient endurance during these fiery and chaotic times.
– Verse 18, God has given us his promise and his oath…
– An oath is a vow or pledge concerning ones future actions. God has made promises to his children under oath.
– God has given his people many promises that we can find in the Bible. In his word.
– Psalms 9:9-10, The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.
– Proverbs 3:5-6, Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
– 2 Chronicles 7:14, Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.
– Example: The Maasai Village, and the drought. Lasted almost a year, many cows died. Herding nomadic people, devastated by this. Saw cow carcasses on the side of the road.
– We came to the village and brought food, and encouragement. 150 people got to take food home to their families. In the service, 8 women gave their lives to Jesus.
– What did the pastor say to them??? The simple gospel, God’s promise, His provision. Their hearts were ready for change.
– Psalm 119:81, I am worn out waiting for your rescue, but I have put my hope in your word.
