Wednesday Connection
MAIN GATHERING
New study begins January 4th 2012
7:00-8:30 PM in the Chapel
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.Hebrews 12:1-2
By A.D. 64, Christianity had spread throughout the world. But Jews, who accepted Jesus, as Messiah were struggling, emotionally, physically and economically. They had become outcasts, lost property and suffered persecution by those who rejected Jesus. Some, considering Jesus, were having second thoughts after weighing the costs. Others attempted compromise, to appease Jewish authorities, and still others did not understand Jesus in contrast to Mosaic law. The purpose of the Epistle to the Hebrews was to encourage these groups of Jewish believers and seekers, to continue in their walk and to persevere in their quest.
Sound like some encouragement you could use too? That is what is so practical about God’s word. We will take an indepth study of the Book of Hebrews beginning Wednesdays, January 4th with Pastor Joel Slater. Room: Chapel
