Verses one to three, we'll move on tonight.

I'll do the first verse and the third verse if you'll do the second verse

and so much precious doctrine in all of this.

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.

Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith,

who for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross,

despising the shame and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

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

lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.

Father, we come tonight and, Lord, right in the middle of this week, we have paused

to dive into your word, to be refueled. Lord, as we see a fighter jet coming behind, a big

flying gas station, as it were a big

KC refueler that fighter jet can only go so far without having to be refueled and I think of

Wednesday nights like that we come we come in we get refueled to finish off the

wrist of the week Lord God to serve, to be empowered by your spirit,

to be touched by your word and Father,

we know that you love to minister to us.

You are the minister of truth.

And so, God, we pray tonight

that you would just speak to us and lead us and guide us.
