Scriptures for March 29

Hi all:

Scriptures for this Sunday are:

Jeremiah 31:31-34
Psalm 51
Hebrews 5:5-10
John 12:20-33

For Jeremiah and Hebrews, it helps a bit to read not just these verses but more of the context. 

What do you think is being said in Hebrews?  Do you think the Psalm was REALLY written by King David?  Can you relate personally to the prayer of repentance and desire for a new heart?

Hope to see you in class!

Peace,

Pastor Jay
