f Asa's final years, which are characterised by some serious failures to rely on Yahweh. Firstly, when Baasha king of Israel began acting aggressively to Judah, he hired the Syrians to attack the northern kingdom. He had failed to heed that the LORD had granted victory against the Ethiopian horde. The great lesson that Hanani the seer told Asa was, "The eyes of Yahweh run to and fro throughput the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward Him" (verse 9 ESV). From now on he would have wars. He became enraged with the prophet and placed him in stocks in prison. His anger was also vented against others of God's people. The irony of Asa, whose name means 'physician', is that when he became diseased in his feet, Asa did not seek healing from the great Physician, but died in suffering. Nonetheless, Judah were saddened by the death of the great reformer. Chapter 17 says Judah were blessed when Asa's son, Jehoshaphat, ascended the throne and he, too, walked "in the early ways of David his father". The kingdom was established by Jehoshaphat and the surrounding lands made no war against him, but paid him tribute. Ezekiel 48 dealt with the allotments to the tribes both north and south of the temple precinct and the allocation of its territory. Note that the northern border of the territory of the kingdom of God under the reconstituted and restored Israel is the Euphrates river; the southern border is the Nile; the western border is the Mediterranean Sea; and the eastern border the Gulf of Arabia - the entire land through which Abraham walked upon and was promised (see also Psalm 72). The city that will be constructed to service the House of Prayer for all nations will be of a square construction and have a perimeter of about 64.5 kilometres and will be called Yahweh Shammah - or Yahweh is there. John 17 outlines Jesus' wonderful prayer for unity with himself and his Father. Having struggled to subject his will to the Father in Gethsemane and being strengthened by an angel to do that, the victory had been won, and all that remained were the trials, scourging and crucifixion which our Master would endure. So, the prayer began with an acknowledgment of the coming glory - verse 4 the glory that the Father had planned for the Son before creation. Then followed a plea for men to know the Father and the servant Son sent into the world to reveal the Father's character; and in that "knowing" would come life eternal. The prayer was to preserve the believers in that truth and so save them. None would be lost save Judas, the 'son of destruction'. Eventually everyone sanctified by the truth would be united with the Father in the same way His Son was. John chapter 18 records the betrayal and arrest of the Lord in the garden ofGethsemane. Judas arrived with a heavily armed contingent of temple thugs, who when they asked the Lord, who they sought, they fell to the ground illustrating that where he was they could not come (John 7:36). He gave himself voluntarily into their hands after miraculously restoring the severed ear of Malchus- the high priest's servant and rebuking Peter who had mistakenly tried to protect his Lord. Jesus faced Annas and Caiaphas in trial. Peter's first denial followed. Then Jesus is placed under oath by the high priest, who contrary to the law commanded our Master to be struck and was rightly rebuked by Jesus. Peter's second denial followed. The rulers attempted to force from Pilate, the Roman Governor, during the night, the death sentence - another illegality - on the unproven charge of treason. Pilate questioned Jesus and it was clear that our Lord had total mastery of the situation and it was Pontius Pilate who quailed in the presence of the Son of God. Jesus bore witness to the Truth that he came into the world to be "King of the Jews" (see 1 Timothy 6 verses 12-16). Pilate declared him to be innocent of the charge; but the rulers clamoured for his death and the acquittal of Barabbas.

John 10:1-42 We read John 10 with attention to the gate, the Good Shepherd, and what it means to recognize a voice that leads to life.

John 17 Jesus Prays For His Disciples (Kirk Delaney) 19 Oct 2025 by Pine Rivers Vineyard

This chapter records a prayer from Jesus for the apostles, and also all who will become disciples after them. I am reading from the American Standard Version of 1901.I am thankful for you stopping by to listen in.

If you belong to Jesus, He is praying for you.   In this powerful passage from John 17, Jesus prays His high priestly prayer — not only for His disciples, but for you. He prays for your protection, your growth, your unity with other believers, and your eternal future with Him.   Key Points:   1. Jesus prays for your safety — protection from the evil one as we live out the gospel mission. 2. Jesus prays for your sanctification — setting you apart for His holy purposes. 3. Jesus prays for our unity — so that the world may believe. 4. Jesus prays that we might join Him in heaven — to see His glory. 5. Jesus prays that we may know the Father's love and walk in closeness with Him.  

The High Priestly Prayer of Jesus | John 17 | Faith On Hill Church Description: In this week's message from Faith On Hill Church, we study John 17, often called The High Priestly Prayer of Jesus. On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus prays for His disciples — and for us. He prays for God's glory, our protection, and our sanctification. As Pastor Adam teaches, Jesus' prayer reveals His heart for His followers — that we would be united, set apart by truth, and made new through His sacrifice. We are reminded that eternal life isn't found in religion or effort, but in knowing the one true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent. Main Scripture: John 17 Topics: Prayer, Sanctification, Glory of God, Eternal Life, Discipleship, The Word of God Join us Sundays at 10:30 a.m. Worship with us in person at our Hill Road campus or online every Sunday.

Send us a text God is love is more than a comforting phrase, it is God's very nature. In this Buddy Walk with Jesus episode, we unpack what Scripture means by love that starts with God, not our performance (1 John 4:7–18). We explore how His love drives out fear, secures our identity, and reshapes everyday life with Jesus. We walk through Jesus' prayer for real communion with the Father (John 17:3) and the unbreakable assurance of Romans 8:31–39, then contrast “God loves me when…” with “God loves me, therefore…”. You will hear a simple framework, Initiation, Communion, Overflow, and a few accessible practices that move love from head knowledge into lived experience. If you feel worn out, ashamed, or unsure where you stand with God, this conversation will invite you to rest, receive, and become a conduit of love to others. Support the show If you have any questions about the subjects covered in today's episode you can find us on Facebook at the links below or you can shoot me an email at joe@buddywalkwithjesus.com One Stop Shop for all the links Linktr.ee/happydeamedia

“I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.” - John 17:4 This Communion Sunday, we continue through the Gospel of John and come to John 17—often called “The High Priestly Prayer.” Here, Jesus lifts His eyes to heaven and prays to the Father, revealing the mutual glorification between the Father and the Son. Through His suffering, obedience, death, and resurrection, Jesus glorified the Father and accomplished the work He was sent to do. Can you also say — with Jesus — that you've glorified God on the earth and accomplished the work He gave you to do?   In this message, we look at: • How Jesus set His mind on glorifying the Father, no matter the cost • Why we can have confidence in God's plan and purpose for our lives • What it means to partner with the Father in accomplishing His work on earth

Samuel teaches about the importance of prayer, especially intercession, explaining that it starts with personal connection to God and extends to praying for others. He uses biblical examples to show that everyone is called to intercede, encouraging listeners to persist in prayer for others until spiritual growth and unity with Jesus are achieved.

Pastor Micah Klutinoty in John 17:20-26 shares that Jesus prayed for the church's unity, which flows from faith in Him through His Word. Our oneness reflects the unity of the Trinity, testifies to the world of Christ's glory, and prepares us for eternal fellowship in His love. A church grounded in Scripture, gospel identity, sacrificial love, and resistance to division shines as salt and light to a watching world.

This gospel written by the apostle John is one of the most beloved gospels. John takes you from (quite literally) the very beginning of all things, through the prophetic fulfillment of Jesus' arrival and ministry, the life and teachings of Jesus, to the commissions he gave to His followers after the resurrection. It's through this gospel you will see Jesus, the Son of God, in a light that is unique, with profound implications for your life.   Grab your Bible and get ready to join Jerry Dirmann as he walks through this gospel, and gives helpful teaching and insights along the way, helping you to understand, and to apply it in your every day life.   You can also take your daily Bible reading to another level with The New Testament Daily with Jerry Dirmann—including all of the books of the New Testament.   -------  Thank you for joining us today!

Pastor Micah Klutinoty in John 17:6-19 reminds us how Jesus prays for His disciples, showing His love for them and asking the Father to preserve them in His Word. Through His prayer, He secures their joy, protects them from the evil one, sanctifies them in the truth, and sends them into the world with the mission of reconciliation. Our faith is built on this foundation of truth, joy, and preservation, empowered by the Word of God working in us.

In this section, Jesus continues his prayer for his disciples, including you and I. He prays for our renewal, transformation and eventual glorification in His Kingdom. The theme will continue to be "surrendering" to His love and all the wonderful plans He has for us - beginning now and ending never.

Memorial of Saint Cornelius, Pope and Martyr, and Saint Cyprian, Bishop and MartyrJohn 17:11b-19"Your word is truth.As you sent me into the world,so I sent them into the world.And I consecrate myself for them,so that they also may be consecrated in truth."

Pastor Micah Klutinoty in John 17:1-5 reminds us that Jesus, the eternal Son of glory, stepped into the world of shame to accomplish through the cross what no one else could—securing salvation and eternal life for those who believe. His prayer acknowledges His coming glory through the cross, His Lordship over all, the gift of eternal life, the finished work of redemption, and His eternal divine glory.

Dr. Stephen Kim continues his teaching from the Gospel of John.  This week's lesson is titled, “The Real Lord's Prayer”, drawing on John 17. Lesson Slides 2025-09-14

Pastor Bryan personally felt a sense of God reminding him, rather strongly, that this world and everyone and everything in it will soon pass away; but those who are in the Kingdom will live with Him and all those who receive His love forever. He was reminding me to leverage the things of the World for that Mission and not for lesser things. In response, this is the first of two messages titled, "Leaving this World" as a prelude to our next series in Daniel titled, "Babylon: In It Yet Not Of It".

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Tuesday 29 July 2025, Simon Gillham, Vice Principal and Head of the Mission Department at Moore Theological College, speaks on John 17:1-26 and Jesus' prayer the night before he died.Simon points out that Jesus' prayer is all about the activity of mission—of sending. Jesus is the one sent from the Father. He then sends his disciples into the world with the expectation that their ministry will be effective—effective enough to reach us. We in turn are also sent to participate in God's great work of mission.For more audio resources, visit the Moore College website.

Worship isn't just something that happens on Sunday mornings. Every moment can be lived out in a form of worship. Does this mean you need to constantly recite Scripture or hum a praise song? You're welcome to do that – but that's not the only way to honor Him. Whether you're pushing papers, mopping floors, teaching children, changing diapers, or whatever your job may look like, as Pastor Terry reminds us today, when we turn our hearts towards God, we can worship Him in everything we do.

Rev. Dr. Jadhav speaks of a Christ who wants the best for His people. Today's chapel theme is Kingdom Community.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this August 15th episode, your host and Bible reading coach, Hunter, invites you to journey through the pages of Scripture together. Today's readings include Jeremiah chapters 18–20, Psalm 93, and John 17. As we reflect on God's word, Hunter reminds us that the Scriptures point our hearts to Jesus, the living Word, and reveal the deep love and blessings the Father lavishes upon us. We explore themes of God's transformative power, His call to repentance, and the unity, joy, and protection Jesus prays over His followers. The episode closes with a heartfelt blessing and a time of prayer—reminding us that we are deeply loved, and calling us to walk forward in God's joy and strength. Join us as we root ourselves in His love and truth, together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Jesus prays a blessing over us. We see this kind of blessing prayer echoed throughout scripture—patriarchs blessing their children, conferring identity, inheritance, and place in the family of God. In John 17, Jesus is offering this kind of prayer, but it's a prayer that echoes into eternity, and it is not just for the twelve gathered there that night. It's for us. We are included in this blessing, this conferral of identity and destiny. We are told who we are in God's family, what our inheritance is as His children. What is spoken over us here is the message of life in the Son—the Gospel conferred as a gift, received freely. From this gift of Christ flow so many others: gifts of unity, gifts of protection, the gift of joy, the gift of God's Word, and supremely, the gift of Christ himself. Jesus prays, “Father, you have given me your name. Now protect them by the power of your name so that they will be united just as we are.” We are blessed with unity in Him. He says, “I have given them your word.” In His word, we find joy, our identity, the assurance that we are loved. He gives himself as a sacrifice for us, setting us apart, making us holy by his truth. And finally, he says, “I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.” The presence of Christ in us is our hope, our glory, our very life. This abiding blessing is the Christian life: God pouring out his love, his joy, his strength, his word, his presence—his life—into ours. So let your roots go down deep into the love of God. May you discover, each day, how wide, how long, how high, how deep is Christ's love for you. May you experience the fullness of this life and power, made complete in Him. This is the prayer for my soul. This is the prayer for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And this is the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Jesus is my shepherd, you have called me by my name into the life of the beloved. Here in the stillness, I remember that I am not alone. I belong to you and to the great communion of saints and sinners held together in your love. Remind me, Lord, that every breath is grace, every encounter is a chance to give what I have received, mercy without measure. When I forget who I am, when I lose my way, lead me again to still waters. Restore my soul, renew my hope. Reroute me in the joy of simply being yours. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
