Guardians of Ancora Family Bible PlanSample

WELCOME TO THESE DEVOTIONS AND TO GUARDIANS OF ANCORA!

Do you have any family sayings that are special to your family? Wise words that have been passed down or a moment of toddler-misuse that has become part of your unique family-language? Those sayings help give our families a sense of who we are together.

Today’s Bible reading is full of that sort of saying. Did you see how:

• God cannot tell lies!
• His promises and vows can never be changed.
• We can run to God for safety.
• His promises should greatly encourage us.
• We can take hold of the hope that is right in front of us.
• That hope is like a firm and steady anchor for our souls.

What a wonderful collection! We have the most reliable and kindly guide on our side! As the writer of Hebrews tells us, God’s promises in the Bible can be a steady anchor – an ancora – for our families, whether the waves are calm, enormous, or whirlpooling. Pray this week that God’s hope becomes firmly anchored into your family life.

Start by inventing a new family saying to help everyone to remember God’s anchor and support!

PLAYING GUARDIANS OF ANCORA?

Guardians of Ancora is a free game app for mobile devices (tablets and cell phones).

At the heart of Ancora is the glowing Spire, needing the power of stories to keep it shining. It’s the task of the Guardians to seek those treasured Stories of the Saga (Bible stories) and restore them to the city. The name of the city echoes the truth, from Hebrews 6:19, that hope is an ‘anchor for our souls’.

HOW DO WE FIND THE APP?

Visit your usual app store and search for the game by name. Guardians of Ancora is totally free to download and play: there are no hidden costs.

Install and open the app. Next you will be asked to choose your game character. You can set up individual player accounts on the same device and each have your own character.
