Sermon Title: Embodiment of Grace

Psalm 148
L: Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD from the heavens;
praise him in the heights!

P: Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his hosts!

L: Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, all you shining stars!

P: Praise him, you highest heavens,
and you waters above the heavens!

L: Let them praise the name of the LORD!
For he commanded and they were created.

P: And he established them forever and ever;
he gave a decree, and it shall not pass away.

L: Praise the LORD from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all deeps,

P: fire and hail, snow and mist,
stormy wind fulfilling his word!

L: Mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars!

P: Beasts and all livestock,
creeping things and flying birds!

L: Kings of the earth and all peoples,
princes and all rulers of the earth!

P: Young men and maidens together,
old men and children!

L: Let them praise the name of the LORD,
for his name alone is exalted;
his majesty is above earth and heaven.

P: He has raised up a horn for his people,
praise for all his saints,
for the people of Israel who are near to him.
Praise the LORD!

NEW TESTAMENT
Hebrews 2:10–18
10 For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. 11 For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12 saying,
“I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”
13 And again,
“I will put my trust in him.”
And again,
“Behold, I and the children God has given me.”
14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
