Anchored | Dec. 19th

We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as the forerunner on our behalf,

Hebrews 6:19-20

The anchor of hope is secure in the firm foundation within the heavens. The soul is at peace because of the hope we have in Christ. Jesus has reconciled us unto God. In Him, we are held by everlasting grace.

Just as the anchor holds the ship secure within the stormy gale. The grace of God has a firm hold on you. The gospel message assures us that our heavenly rest awaits us in Christ. The Lord Himself will keep us in this life while securing our heavenly home.

Be at peace, beloved hope in the Lord. He will keep you today and forever more.

In Christ Alone,

Sought For | Dec. 18th

They shall be called THe Holy People, The Redeemed of the Lord; and you shall be called Sought Out, A City not Forsaken.

Isaiah 62:12

This prophecy has no greater fulfillment than that which is in Jesus Christ. His life fulfills Old Testament prophecy, and His resurrection satisfies our souls.

Jesus is the good shepherd who has gone out to seek the lost lamb. The lamb is captivated by sin and broken. Estranged from God and without hope in this world. That lamb that was dead in sin Christ died for. We are called the Sought Out. A lost coin that was found and celebrated. The prodigal son welcomed with rejoicing.

In Christ, we are a people not forsaken, the sheep of His pasture. Those redeemed by the Lord and claimed as His own, this is our comfort today, beloved. The secure position we have in Him enables us to endure all things while trusting in His lovingkindness. You belong to God. He will not forsake you.

In Christ Alone,

Every Generation | Dec. 13th

" Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast."

Psalm 119:89

I think every generation has concern for those who will follow them. It can feel as though things are growing worse by the day. Society endorses an ideology of not having children, fearing that the world cannot sustain more human life and the ever-present concern over the environment.

However, this is in direct contradiction to scripture. God called Adam and Eve to have children, to take dominion over His creation. Trusting that the Lord would be faithful unto His people throughout human history. No matter how long that endured until the second coming of Christ.

God will remain faithful to all of His people throughout the epics of human history. There may be cause for concern, but we should never doubt the faithfulness of God to every generation. God is with you, beloved, and all those you are concerned for.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
