As we watch the news and follow the reactions from others on social media, it becomes obvious that our world is a world full of chaos right now. As a result, many of us are glued to the tv, or to the news outlets in the media, or to social media sites where people are arguing their opinions. It is so easy for us as Christians to get caught up in these debates, and to allow the ugliness of what’s going on in our world to fill our own hearts to the point where we begin to take part in it. As we study our text today in the Gospel of John, Jesus is also surrounded by the ugliness of the world, but instead of participating in it, He turns to His Father and prays instead. Listen as Pastor Bob discusses this prayer in depth as we study through the first 5 verses of John 17.
Sermons on Promises of God
In today’s message, Teaching Pastor John gives us an overview of the Psalter. More than any other book of the Bible, the Book of Psalms helps us draw near to God by encouraging us to approach Him with every event in our lives and teaching us how to relate to the Most High God with unwavering devotion and faith.
