This weekend at Anchor Church, we turned our attention to the Lord’s Table—what it means, why it matters, and how we are called to come. Communion is not a religious routine or symbolic tradition; it is a sacred, gospel-rich moment where the people of God gather to remember Jesus’ sacrifice, proclaim His death, examine our hearts, and celebrate our unity in Christ.

This weekend at Anchor Church, we turned our attention to the biblical meaning and importance of baptism. Baptism is not an add-on to the Christian life—it is the first step of joyful obedience for everyone who has trusted in Jesus.

In 1 John 5:13–21, the apostle John writes so that we would know we have eternal life—not guess, not assume, not hope—but know. Because Jesus lives, we don’t just have hope for the future, we have power and confidence today.

As we opened the Word together on Palm Sunday, we remembered how Jesus entered Jerusalem not to overthrow Rome, but to bring victory over sin, death, and hell. The same crowds that shouted “Hosanna” would soon cry “Crucify Him”—but His path to the cross was the path to our redemption. In this moment, we looked at what real faith in Jesus produces: spiritual victory, eternal life, and unshakable assurance.

After weeks of building gospel-rooted assurance, John brings us to the very heart of the Christian life—God’s love. He shows us that love isn’t just what God does—it’s who He is. And if we truly know Him, that love must be visible in us and through us.
