CENTRAL THOUGHT Christ is the believer’s sure and firm anchor.   Text: John 14:1-6; Heb. 6:18-20; Heb.  10:23-25   INTRODUCTION We live in a world full of trouble and stress. This situation has rendered many people desperate and miserable. The night before the Passover, which preceded Jesus crucifixion, He assured His disciples of hope eternal, in heaven. This is by the implication, the hope of all believers in Christ Jesus. That is, Jesus has Himself gone before all believers to prepare them a home in heaven so that in the fullness of time all believers will be with Him where He is. This assuring word will keep their minds on Him. So that in all that they would go through for the gospel’s sake, they would not falter knowing that there is a glorious hope awaiting them. In the same vein, believers today need to be reminded of this basic truth lest we are wearied in our pilgrimages on earth. This will go a long way to help us keep focus and follow the example of Jesus (Heb. 12:2). It should be noted in this study that this hope is not instant to all who believe, but to all who believe and hold faith till the end. This study...

Central Thought: Every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord to the glory of God the Father.   Hymn: “All Hail the Power of Jesus Name” Text: Ephesians 1:20-23; Philippians 2:9-11     We understand from Scriptures that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Word that was made flesh; who was with God in the beginning and by whom all things were made, John 1:1-3 and 14. The Lordship of Christ therefore denotes His authority, ownership of the universe, sovereignty and rulership over all creation.  He is described in the Scripture as the LORD of all flesh.  Thus, all creation is subject to Him.  However, the Lord seeks a personal relationship with every human being – a relationship acknowledging Him in thought, word and deed as SAVIOR, LORD and MASTER.  Every human being is encouraged to enter into this relationship.  We must enthrone Him as LORD, for that is what indeed He is.  We must not only know Christ as Savior, we must also know Him as Lord and Master.  As someone has rightly said, Christ must not only be present in our lives, He must also be prominent and He must not only be prominent, He must also be pre-eminent.  As members of His body, we...
