this Sunday

Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God...

... that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. (Hebrews 13:15)

Hosanna (Praise Is Rising)

Psalm 105:4
Seek the LORD and His strength;
Seek His face continually.

Psalm 146:7-10
Who executes justice for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
The LORD sets the prisoners free.
The LORD opens the eyes of the blind;
The LORD raises up those who are bowed down;
The LORD loves the righteous;
The LORD protects the strangers;
He supports the fatherless and the widow,
But He thwarts the way of the wicked.
The LORD will reign forever,
Your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the LORD!

Mark 11:8-10
And many spread their coats in the road,
and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.
Those who went in front and those who followed were shouting:
“Hosanna!
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord;
Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David;
Hosanna in the highest!”

Stories

Joshua 23:10
"One of your men puts to flight a thousand,
for the LORD your God is He who fights for you,
just as He promised you."

Psalm 52:9
I will give You thanks forever,
because You have done it,
And I will wait on Your name,
for it is good,
in the presence of Your godly ones.

Hungry

Psalm 38:15
For I hope in You, O LORD;
You will answer, O LORD my God.

Psalm 25:21
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
For I wait for You.

Matthew 5:6
“Blessed are those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied."

Isaiah 49:10
“They will not hunger or thirst,
Nor will the scorching heat or sun strike them down;
For He who has compassion on them will lead them
And will guide them to springs of water."

O Come To The Altar

1 Peter 1:17-19
If you address as Father the One who
impartially judges according to each one’s work,
conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth;
knowing that you were not redeemed
with perishable things like silver or gold
from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers,
but with precious blood,
as of a lamb unblemished and spotless,
the blood of Christ.

Romans 10:11-17
For the Scripture says,
“Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.”
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek;
for the same Lord is Lord of all,
abounding in riches for all who call on Him;
for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed?
How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard?
And how will they hear without a preacher?
How will they preach unless they are sent?
Just as it is written,
“How beautiful are the feet of those
who bring good news of good things!”

However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says,
“Lord, who has believed our report?”
So faith comes from hearing,
and hearing by the word of Christ.

Love Of God

1 John 4:16
We have come to know and have believed
the love which God has for us.
God is love,
and the one who abides in love abides in God,
and God abides in him.

Romans 8:37-39
But in all these things
we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities,
nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing,
will be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 John 3:1-3
See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us,
that we would be called children of God;
and such we are.
For this reason the world does not know us,
because it did not know Him.
Beloved, now we are children of God,
and it has not appeared as yet what we will be.
We know that when He appears,
we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.
And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself,
just as He is pure.
