2. HEBREWS 2:1-3 1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. 2 for if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward 3 How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation,

3. WHO’S IN THE BOAT? HEBREWS 2:1-3

4. DRIFTER Judas Acts 1:16-17 16 “men and brethren, this scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; 17 for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.”

5. DRIFTER Judas Luke 22:3-6 3 then satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve. 4 so he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him to them. 5 and they were glad, and agreed to give him money. 6 so he promised and sought opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of the multitude.

6. QUITTER Demas Colossians 4:14 14 Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you Philemon 1:24 24 As do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow laborers.

7. QUITTER Demas 2 Timothy 4:9-10 9 be diligent to come to me quickly; 10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica—Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia.

8. WON’T GET IN’ER Agrippa Matthew 2:1 1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,

9. WON’T GET IN’ER Agrippa Acts 26:27-28 27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you do believe.” 28 then Agrippa said to Paul, “you almost persuade me to become a Christian.”

10. ANCHOR HOLDER

11. Hebrews 6:18-20 18 So that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for god to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us. 19 this hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, 20 where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

12. ANCHOR DOWN! Hebrews 6:11-12 11 and we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

13. ANCHOR DOWN! Revelation 2:10 10 do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

14. ANCHOR DOWN! Matthew 24:12-13 12 and because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 but he who endures to the end shall be saved.
