For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are\u2014yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God\u2019s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In lieu of our regular adult class, this Wednesday we will have a time of communal prayer and Scripture reading together as we embark upon this new year!
