This wraps up our "Anchor" Series.
Reminder... Week 1 - Anchor of Hope (Jesus)
Week 2 - What Are YOU Holding Onto? (unfortunately the audio for the recording did not work)
Week 3 - When the Storms Come Week 4 - (finale) - Remain

Yes the theme of today's message is "Remain" - To remain is to stay.
Stay anchored in Jesus.
No matter the circumstances, we stay anchored in Him and He will guide, guard and encourage us!
I hope you have YOUR anchor in Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 6:19a
“This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a
 hope both sure and reliable…”

We continue to pray that you will invite Jesus into your life and make Him Lord of your life, if you haven't already.  
And if you need to take care of this please call Pastor Harvey at 323-316-7131 and he will be glad to pray with you.

Psalm 23 - KJV
A Psalm of David 

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Below is the bible text that we used in the sermon today.

ANCHOR-PART IV-REMAIN-FINALE

Hebrews 6:19
“This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and reliable…”


John 15:5-8 (NASB)
5 I am the vine, you are the branches; the one who remains in Me, and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

6 If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown away like a branch and dries up; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If you remain in Me, and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

8 My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.

1 John 4:9-10 (NASB)
9 By this the love of God was revealed in us, that God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him.

10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Revelation 13:8 (NASB)
8 All who live on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written since the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slaughtered.

1 Peter 1:18-20 (NASB)
18 knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers,

19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.

20 For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you.

Isaiah 53:6 (NASB)
6 All of us, like sheep, have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the wrongdoing of us all
To fall on Him.


Psalm 23
1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
