  11. “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” Psalm 2:6

  12. Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall vows be performed. O you who hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come…. Blessed is the one you choose and bring near, to dwell in your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple! Psalm 65:1-4

  13. The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth. Psalm 50:1-2

  14. As you come to [Jesus Christ], a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” 1 Peter 2:4-6

  15. “In our New Testament age, Zion refers to the church, a community of God’s people, a living and dynamic organism.” Ken Osbeck

  16. Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose Word cannot be broken formed thee for his own abode: On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation’s walls surrounded, thou may’st smile at all thy foes. John Newton

  17. Savior, if of Zion’s city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name: Fading is the worlding’s pleasure, all his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion’s children know. John Newton

  22. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11

  23. Privileges of Participation in the Church (12:22-24) Admittance into the Assembly of Christ’s Heirs Encouragement of Advanced Ancestors Acceptance in a Forgiven Fellowship

  24. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. Hebrews 12:15

  25. “If you have ever stood inside the embassy for your own nation in a foreign country, your fellow citizens working behind the desk will tell you, ‘You are standing on the soil of our nation.’ But the homeland of God’s people is nowhere on this planet.

  26. “There are only ambassadors and embassies. The church on earth is those embassies of ambassadors gather together in the name of Christ.

  27. “What that means is that an individual cannot meaningfully, truly, or authentically submit one’s life and discipleship to both Christ and his earthly proxy in something other than the local church.” Jonathan Leeman

  28. Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:28-29
