So Hebrews chapter 12 verses 1 to 3, and your big part is the second verse.

But let's do this together.

Therefore, we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight.

And the sin which so easily ensnars us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.

Amen to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

Who will the joy set before him, enduring the cross, despising his shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Amen.

For consider him, that's Jesus, who endured such hostility from sinners against himself

lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.

Heavenly Father, we come to you tonight and we ask you, Lord God, that you would be our encouragement.

You have been, you will be.

And so, God, we ask of you this evening that for those present and those viewing and the

home away groups and other fellowships that have

joined in with us to be church tonight, God, we pray that you would bind us together by the

love of the Holy Spirit and by the truth of the Word of God and, Father, that we would glean

from your scriptures tonight life and we praise you

almighty God that you are the one in throne we're going to talk about your throne tonight's

and God may we just be enraptured by the reality that nothing on earth can move you the sable rattling of nations

going to war doesn't threaten you you are awesome and your almighty god and you are our God because you have called us to be your people.

And that's amazing.

Thank you.

We praise you.
