The Prayer for Unity
2023-02-01 John 17:1-5
In John chapter 17, we find Jesus' heartfelt prayer for unity among His disciples and all future believers. He prayed that they may be one, just as He and the Father are one, emphasizing the importance of unity among believers as a powerful testimony to the world of God's love and truth.
Matthew 5 is how to pray. John 17 is Christ really praying.

2023-02-08 John 17:6-10
John 17:1-5 highlights the importance of making Christ central in every aspect of our lives and in the church. Recognising the centrality of Christ is crucial, not only in heavenly matters but also in our daily existence, we should seek God's will and aligning our actions with the principles of Christ.
When he was in the tomb, all things were held together by the word of his power.
The Unity in Faith
2023-02-15 John 17:12-26
In John 17:12-26, Jesus prays for His disciples and all future believers, asking the Father to protect them, sanctify them in truth, and unite them in the same love that exists between the Father and the Son. This prayer reveals the heart of the gospel: through Jesus, believers are brought into a relationship with God, sharing in His glory so that the world may see His love and be drawn to salvation.
Now we tend to spend a lot of time on trying to pray for the world but not the Lord.
Expressing Unity
