Episode 103: Episode 103: Jesus Christ-The Sure Anchor

Thank you for stopping by. Life raises hard questions. Oasis of Hope brings them to God's Word. Hosted by Drs. Johnson and Feyi Obamehinti, this Christian faith and biblical teaching podcast offers scripture-grounded conversation on the real challenges believers face: spiritual growth, faith, relationships, cultural pressures, and living a kingdom life in a complex and complicated world. Each episode is rooted in prayer, anchored in truth, and offered with pastoral warmth to followers of Christ around the globe. Wherever you are in your walk with God, there is hope here! Scripture Reference: “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek” – Hebrews 6:19-20  We appreciate your continuous engagement within the Oasis community. We love hearing how you are growing in Christ and bearing your cross daily as you walk with God in our world. We are grateful to God and count it an honor to serve you, your families and communities. In this episode 103, we discuss the importance of an anchor and hope in God in chaotic times. Just like a ship’s anchor steadies the vessel by sinking its arms into the seabed, so that the ship is not tossed about during turbulent waves, our anchor in Christ steadies our souls and keeps us standing no matter the chaos in our world. Let us thank God for this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure!   We proceed to discuss how our hearts is the seat of life as Proverbs 4:23 clearly states: “Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life.” Paying attention to the climate of our hearts and showing up for continuous check-ups with the Holy Spirit is essential to all followers of Christ to live out a life that produces godly fruits and testifies of the indwelling power of God. The fruits that our lives produce either testifies to the light of Christ or satan’s darkness. Let us continue to make room for the light of Christ to shine through our lives for the glory of God! Lastly, we answer the question from one of our Oasis community brethren on how resentment develops and takes root in a heart. Resentment is a root of unforgiveness that becomes a stronghold in the life of a person. It develops in the climate of resisting God’s will. Let us be reminded that God’s will is His entire Word (Bible). To grow in our walk with God, involves a daily surrender to the will of God.  With back to school upon us, we pray God’s abundant blessings on families as they prepare for a new school year. We pray for God’s fresh grace on all educators as they impact students’ lives in this new school year. We pray for God’s covering on our communities for this upcoming school year.  In Christ's Love, Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti
