Sermon by Pastor Jeff Krajewski on September 8, 2024.
Series Description:
In John 17, Jesus prays for His disciples, knowing the immense challenges they will face once he is no longer physically with them. This deeply personal prayer not only reflects His love and concern for their well-being but also prepares them for the trials ahead—persecution, division, and the dangerous task of living and sharing the gospel in a hostile world. As we reflect on this profound prayer, we will discover wisdom and encouragement for our own journeys as modern disciples. Just as the early followers faced hardship and uncertainty, the church today encounters similar struggles in a rapidly changing and often resistant world. Jesus also prayed for us in anticipation of our unique challenges and opportunities as his disciples. Join us as we explore how Jesus' prayer offers us strength, unity, and a renewed sense of mission, equipping us to stand firm amid adversity.
