Scripture passage for this morning's message is taken from Hebrew chapter 13

verses 1 through 16. Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers for thereby some of

entertained angels unawares. Remember those who are in prison as though in prison with them and those who are

mistreated since you also are in the body. Let marriage be held in honor among all and let the marriage bed be undefiled.

For God will judge this sexually immoral and adulterous.

Keep your life free from the love of money. T you nor forsake you. So we can confidently say, the Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can

man do to me? Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God.

Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.

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

Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened

by grace, not by foods which have not benefited those devoted

to them.

We have an altar from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat.

For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the

holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. So Jesus also suffered outside the camp in order to

sanctify the people through his own blood. Therefore let us go to him

outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured.

For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.

Through him then let us continually offer up a

praise, a sacrifice of praise to God, that is the fruit of lips that acknowledge

his name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

Let's pray together. Oh God, how we long for our lips and our lives to be pleasing to you as they praise you as they display your worth on Sunday
