(Passages that we will refer to in next Sunday's worship)


Exodus 11
Lord of Your People, bring the plagues of Your judgment to an end, lest everyone everywhere die. Speak a great Word of mercy over all the earth in the message of Your gospel. Turn the hearts of many to love You. Your only-begotten Son has died for our sins. He has become the Firstborn of the Resurrection. All men everywhere should hear Your Word of justice and mercy, repent of sin, and turn toward You. Help us, O God! Deliver us from the foolishness of our rebellion.


Acts 17
Lord God, Your message came first to the Jews and then to the Gentiles, yet Your truth is the same for all the people groups of the world, that Jesus is the Christ. Thank You for the grace of Your presence in trying times. Grant Your servants encouragement in all kinds of ministry situations. Teach them to do Your work with love and perseverance, trusting You in all times and places. The message of the truth may seem to be a foreign religious system to those who have never heard it. How are our ministers to know how to speak and what they are to say? Lead them in their teaching so that they can present the wonder of Your being and the grandeur and glory of Your works. Show them engaging truths all around them that will help in explaining the beauty of the gospel to those who are being saved.
