Generations – Week 1

Psalm 78:1-8

While bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come (1 Timothy 4:8, ESV)

I am not a perfect…

God loves more than you do. (vv. 1-3)

You will be my people, and I will be your God (Jeremiah 30:22, NLT)

My sheep recognize my voice. I know them, and they follow me. (John 10:27, The Message)

God loves more than you do. (v. 4)

God loves more than you do. (vv. 5-8)

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. (2 Corinthians 12:9, NIV)
