Opening Hymn; The God of Abraham Praise by Daniel Ben Judah
The God of Abraham praise, who reigns enthroned above; Ancient of Everlasting Days, and God of Love; Jehovah, great I AM! by earth and heaven confessed; I bow and bless the sacred name forever blest.The great I AM has sworn; I on this oath depend. I shall, on eagle wings upborne, to heaven ascend.I shall behold God’s face; I shall God’s power adore, and sing the wonders of God’s grace forevermore.
The heavenly land I see, with peace and plenty blest; a land of sacred liberty, and endless rest.There milk and honey flow, and oil and wine abound, and trees of life forever grow with mercy crowned. The God who reigns on high the great archangels sing, and “Holy, holy, holy!” cry “Almighty King! Who was, and is, the same, and evermore shall be: Jehovah, Lord, the great I AM, we worship thee!”
Opening Prayer; Father in heaven,You made humanity in Your image that we might show forth who You are to the world.Thank You that although we fell into sinand failed in our created calling,You sent Your Son, Jesus, to redeem usas both the once-for-all Sacrificeand the Eternal Priest who offers that great gift.Our lives have been bought with a price –they are Yours, our God –so fill us with Your Holy Spirit that we might live in the fullness of Your power and display the fullness of Your character to the far reaches of this worlduntil the fullness of Your kingdom.
All this we pray, through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord to whom, with You and the Holy Spiritbe honor and glory, now and forever.Amen.
Sermon; Hebrews Chapters 7-12 How Jesus became the high Priest and creator.
A high priest named Melchizedek, who was mentioned in the book of Genesis was blessed by Abraham by receiving a tenth of his earnings. He could not be traced because of no Genealogy. Jesus later became the high priest of the new covenant, and then was seated at the right hand on his father’s throne. He serves in a sanctuary not built by human hands. Paul also discussed how Jesus was a good tabernacle. This was due to how he gave his own blood to help save people from their sins. The end result was a clean conscience and eternal life.
According to Paul in Hebrews Chapter 10, the law only hints at what will come in the future. It does not reflect the present reality, so repetitively offering sacrifices over and over as the years pass will not help people become whole.
Paul talked about also what makes faith. It is what is hoped and wished for instead of something that can be seen. It was what was a big help to our ancestors surviving on earth. Faith helped God speak the earth into creation and the things on it. Paul also encouraged that a Christian should run the race of faith by laying aside every weight, particularly the sin of unbelief, and look to their Savior, Jesus Christ, for inspiration. However, he explained, Christians are set to experience hostility as they strive against such sin.
Closing Hymn; Jesus the very thought of theeJesus, the very thought of theeWith sweetness fills my breast;But sweeter far thy face to seeAnd in thy presence rest.Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,Nor can the mem’ry findA sweeter sound than thy blest name,O Savior of mankind! O hope of ev’ry contrite heart,O joy of all the meek,To those who fall, how kind thou art!How good to those who seek!Jesus, our only joy be thou,As thou our prize wilt be;Jesus, be thou our glory now,And thru eternity.
Closing prayer; How we praise You Father for the Lord Jesus Christ, our glorious Saviour and His wonderful example.. the only man who ever lived His life in total dependence and willing obedience upon You, despite the grievous opposition and bitter hostility He faced. As we look to Jesus, we pray that we will not grow weary or lose heart in the difficult circumstances that we are facing, but may we look to Him in utter dependence and willing obedience.. for the joy that is set before us, this we ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Benediction; Go in peace and spread this word to all your friends and loved ones. Have a blessed week filled with peace and Joy.
For those who wish to become a child of our heavenly Lord, or strengthen thier faith, please pray the following prayer below.
Dear Heavenly Father, I want to be a part of your family. You said in Your Word that if I acknowledge that You raised Jesus from the dead, and that I accept Him as my Lord and Savior, I would be saved. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for forgiving me, saving me, and giving me eternal life with You. Amen!”
By saying this prayer, we believe you are born again.
