John 17 is Jesus' longest prayer in all the Gospels. Think of all the mornings and nights that Jesus spent praying to His Father. It is here, in John 17, that we get a glimpse into the content of those prayers. Jesus was the most selfless person to ever live. He spent His ministry pouring into and praying for others. Yet Jesus also prayed for Himself. John 17:1-5 provides a fascinating look into Jesus' own prayer requests for Himself and thus what mattered most to Him. As Christ followers, what matters most to Jesus should matter most to us. Take-Home Message: The Lord's greatest prayer reveals His greatest priorities.

He came to fight the battle ands thankfully, came out victorious.Listen carefully and let's gret a real handle on this reality and zone in the on the prayer of Jesus.

The blessings God has for us are not all stored up in heaven. God wants us to know Him while we are here on this earth. The tribulation we face in this world should bring us quickly to the end of ourselves, keep us on our knees crying out to God, and cause us to see how much we truly need the Lord. God has us in this world to serve Him here and now.
In the shadow of the cross, Jesus prays. The prayer recorded in John 17 precedes the prayer in the garden and reveals the heart, mission, and desire of Jesus. The post In the Shadow of The Cross: Jesus Prays (John 17) appeared first on PLEASANT HILL COMMUNITY CHURCH.
“Then Jesus left them a second time and prayed, ‘My Father! If this cup cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will be done.’” (Matthew 26:42 NLT) Jesus’ last stop before His arrest was the Garden of Gethsemane. The garden was located on a slope of the Mount of Olives, just across the Kidron Valley from Jerusalem. When the events of Jesus’ arrest took place, the garden was likely an olive grove surrounded by walls. Some scholars believe it was owned by a wealthy follower of Jesus who allowed Him and His disciples to use it when they were in Jerusalem. Jesus likely chose this familiar spot because He felt the enormity of what was about to happen. The sins of every person who ever lived—and every person who ever will live—were about to be placed on Him. He was about to face God’s full wrath—alone. He was about to suffer as no one had ever suffered. He needed a place to pray, to spend time with His heavenly Father before He endured His Father’s punishment. All the disciples except Judas Iscariot accompanied Him to Gethsemane (although Judas would show up soon enough). At some point, Jesus asked Peter, James, and John to go with Him to a remote part of the garden. He asked them to keep watch so that He wouldn’t be interrupted while He prayed. But even that simple request proved to be too difficult for them. Three times during His three-hour prayer session, Jesus returned to His trio of “watchers.” Three times He found them all asleep. The Bible’s description of Jesus’ prayer time makes it clear that His suffering started long before He was tortured and crucified. Hebrews 5:7 says, “While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him from death” (NLT). Luke 22:44 says, “He was in such agony of spirit that his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood” (NLT). Jesus begged His heavenly Father to take the cup of suffering from Him. He wanted to know if there was another way for God’s plan of salvation to be fulfilled. God heard Jesus’ prayers. He sent an angel to comfort and strengthen Him (see Luke 22:43). And then He said no to His Son’s request. There was no other way. Jesus was the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Him (see John 14:6). His Father’s answer was all Jesus needed. “I want your will to be done, not mine,” He said (Luke 22:42 NLT). Submitting to God’s will renewed His strength and sense of purpose. That’s why, in the chaos that followed, Jesus was the calmest person in the garden. He knew He was doing God’s will. Refreshed and ready for what lay ahead, Jesus woke His sleepy friends and went out to meet the men who had come to arrest and kill Him. But in those hours in the garden, He revealed three life-changing truths about prayer. One, talking to God gives us the strength, courage, wisdom, and comfort we need to face any situation. Two, God sometimes says no because He has something else planned for us. Three, “Your will be done” is the perfect way to end every conversation with our heavenly Father.

Did Jesus spend three days in the Grave? If Jesus died on Good Friday in the late afternoon and was resurrected on Sunday, how does this accounting add up to three days? Is the Bible wrong about the three days, or are we missing something in the Western Church? This question is of personal significance to me.

This is our ninth message in “The Talk Before the Tree” series. (John 17:1-19).
The hour had finally come. Jesus made his way to the Mount of Olives, where he would face his betrayal and be arrested. We take a closer look at Jesus' prayer and how he models prayer for our lives and temptations.
John 17:20-26
Why does God need praise? Is he conceited? Dave walks through Matthew 6:9 and explains why you should be adding praise to your prayer. HINT: it isn't because God needs an ego boost. This sermon is part of our "Without Ceasing" sermon series. God wants a deeper relationship with you. And he's inviting you to "pray without ceasing" so that you can experience this relationship more fully (1 Thessalonians 5:17). But what does this look practically?

In this sermon, Michael Easley explores the themes of apostolic teaching, unity in Christ, the significance of glory, and the understanding of God's righteousness and love. He emphasizes the importance of the apostles' mission to spread the gospel, the necessity of doctrinal purity for true unity, and the transformative power of experiencing Christ's glory. The sermon culminates in the profound truth that God's love for believers is as deep as His love for His Son, Jesus Christ. Takeaways Jesus prays for future believers and their mission. Unity in Christ is based on doctrinal purity. The gospel is central to Christian unity. Experiencing Christ's glory deepens our faith. Authentic Christian relationships invite the world to believe. God's righteousness is distinct from worldly standards. Believers are called to reflect God's love to the world. The depth of God's love is demonstrated on the cross. Our ultimate hope is rooted in God's love for us. Michael originally taught ‘Jesus Prays for His Church (John 17:20-26)' at Immanuel Bible Church.
John 17:20-26Why is it so important for a church to fight for unity? Jesus prays that we would be one that the world would believe that the Father sent Him. What does Christian unity look like and why is it essential for a healthy, vibrant church?
John 17:6-19
In this sermon, Michael Easley explores the themes of living as believers in a world that is not our home, the nature of Jesus' intercession for His disciples, and the importance of sanctification and joy in the Christian life. He emphasizes the need for protection and the mission of the church, while also addressing the challenges of living in a culture that often contradicts Christian values. The sermon concludes with a call to live purposefully for Christ, recognizing the tension between being in the world and not of it. This sermon was originally taught at Immanuel Bible Church.

Welcome to week five of guided prayer through the gospel of Mark. For the next 10 minutes or so, we are going to turn our attention to God in prayer. He desires to meet with us today, to talk to us, to share His heart with us and for us to share our hearts with Him.

At the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches us to pray through his own prayer to the Father. As we watch Jesus pray, his prayer becomes our template for our own prayer. Fr. Mike emphasizes that our prayer should not just be external, but rather should be an internal conversion of heart. This internal conversion of heart involves many aspects such as, reconciliation, loving our enemies, praying to the Father in secret, and prayerful forgiveness.

We look at how Jesus prays in this section of the Catechism. It is revealed how Jesus learned to pray, the frequency of his prayers, and where he prayed. Jesus brought his needs to the Father including his last words and final “loud cry”. Through his example of filial prayer, we are able to pray to the Father as sons and daughters. We can ask him for anything as all of our thoughts, desires, troubles, fears, and needs are already with the Lord. “The Father accepts them and, beyond all hope, answers them by raising his Son.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2598-2606.
