And so what's what we're going to dive into? Hebrews chapter 13, verse 17.

And we're going to look at a couple other places here in Hebrews 13. We're going to camp out mostly in this verse right here.

So follow along.

Let's read it together.

Hebrews 13, 17 says, obey your leaders and submit to their authority.

They keep watch over you as men who must give an account obey them so that their work will be a joy

not a burden for that would be of no advantage to you now this right here is one of three different

times that leaders are mentioned in hebrew 13. You might circle them. Go back

up to Hebrews 13, 7. Let's read that verse. First mention of leaders in the book of Hebrews, and

particularly here in Hebrews chapter 13, remember your leaders. You might circle it there.

Leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate

their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

So there's verse 7, remember your leaders.

Verse 17, obey your leaders.

Circle it there, and then you get to the end of the chapter, verse 24, greet all your leaders.

So you've got this picture.
