Hebrews 4:15–16 “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help … Continue reading A Sympathetic and Strong High Priest
My heart was refreshed in our church gathering this morning as one of our young women shared about her recent mission trip. She spent two months of her summer taking the Gospel to a difficult and far-off place.

Our iniquity (sin) was laid on the Lord Jesus that we might have peace, that we might be healed, and that we might be brought to the God we once rebelled against. God the Son faced the punishment sinners deserve so that all who call on his name are saved.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power … Continue reading Blessed Be God!
