Psalm 78:1-39 & 78:40-72 | Judges 7:1-18 | Acts 3:1-11 | John 1:19-28

Psalm  78 | Background | A teaching of two events that tell of God’s
Judgment and a New Beginning; 1) wilderness wandering; 2) Exodus
through Davidic rule | Hear me and my parable - we will recount the
mighty works of God to be told to generations to come - they forgot
what God had done and mighty works - he fed them in the wilderness
and they ate were full but continued to sin; God was their redeemer
but they lied to God but God remembered they were mortal.

Acts 3 | Background
Peter & John were going to the Temple; Peter healed a man - walking
and leaping and praising God; people were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

John 1 | Background | 90 CE/AD | written by the “beloved disciple” to a

Greek Christian community; John the Baptist explains who he is in the
Salvation story - he is not the messiah - a voice crying in the wilderness -
This took place in Bethany.

A Prayer of Self-Dedication

Almighty and eternal God,

so draw our hearts to you,

so guide our minds,

so fill our imaginations,

so control our wills,

that we may be wholly yours,

utterly dedicated unto you;

and then use us, we pray you, as you will,

and always to your glory and the welfare of your people;

through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Glory to God whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than
we can ask or imagine: Glory to him from generation to generation in
the Church, and in Christ Jesus forever and ever. Amen.
