United: Jesus’ Prayer for Unity

Sunday, September 13, 2020 by

Just before Jesus was arrested, He spent some time in prayer for us. Prayed for us. He prayed that “they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you.” (John 17:21, NLT). Clearly, unity is an issue that is very close to the heart of Jesus and something He deeply desires amongst his followers.

The question is “How”? How can we walk in unity and experience oneness? What does it look like to be UNITED in Christ, particularly during this time of polarization and division? And why does it matter?

Sunday, June 7, 2020 by

It’s been said that “hurry is the great enemy of spiritual life in our day.” But...why? What makes hurry so toxic for our souls? As we reimagine our lives on the other side of Covid, how might Jesus invite us to live less-hurried-lives?
