God is treating you as children; for what child is there whom a parent does not discipline? 8 If you do not have that discipline in which all children share, then you are illegitimate and not his children. 9 Moreover, we had human parents to discipline us, and we respected them. Should we not be even more willing to be subject to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share his holiness. 11 Now, discipline always seems painful rather than pleasant at the time, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. 12 Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.
6:20 where Jesus, a forerunner on our behalf, has entered, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. <<WE RESPOND>> Response Song: Our God Jonas Myrin, Matt Redman, Jesse Reeves, and Chris Tomlin Water You turned into wine Opened the eyes of the blind Into the darkness You shine Out of the ashes we rise Our God is greater Our God is stronger God, You are higher than any other Our God is healer Awesome in power our God our God (Then) what could stand against Prayers of the People and the Lord s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

To know him is to love him Do you love me? It s the question at the heart of life. Jesus asked it. For Jesus, the story of our lives is the story of our loves. So what do we love most? And what is most worthy of our love? Those who first knew him and saw him risen from the dead became convinced that the answer must be: Jesus. They knew how much he loved them, and they loved him. Their lives and their world were transformed by that love. But how can we love him today? How can our hearts be awakened and reshaped by love for him? We begin by getting to know him. To know him is to love him. The New Testament epistle to the Hebrews has been called the fifth gospel because it presents rich images of Jesus not on earth but in his ongoing heavenly ministry. These images not only tell us what he does but more importantly who he is. It s good news that gives us great hope and rekindles our affections for so great a Savior.
