IN THE CONGREGATION

[p_rehbein]

Hebrews 2:12) Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

Psalms 22:22) I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

Psalms 68:26) Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.

Acts 11:26) And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

 

[HeRoseFromTheDead]

A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell together as one. [It is] like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, [even] Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, [even] life for evermore.

pr,

how we love learning...your scripture in Heb. reminded me of something I just learned;
that the Book of Hebrews opens-up with the pattern of (7), quotes from (7)PSALMS...
likewise,
the Book of Revelation follows a pattern of (7) = seven angels, seven churches, etc....

how we love our Father's Order and the depths and riches thereof'...

Luke 4:16-22 KJVS
[16] And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. [17] And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, [18] The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, [19] To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

[20] And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. [21] And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. [22] And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

And, yet, in spite of all the evidence, they denied Him...and continue to deny Him....sigh.......

James 5:13) Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
14 .) Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 .) And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 .) Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Hebrews 10:19) Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 .) By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 .) And having an high priest over the house of God;
22 .) Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 .) Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised
24 .) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 .) Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

[h=1]2 Corinthians
1[/h]
1 .) Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
2 .) Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 .) Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4 .) Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5 .) For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
6 .) And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
7 .) And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
