John 17:1-11 | It’s not uncommon to hear the encouragement to work together with one another. Often, within communities, we hear messages of how we are “stronger together,” and for many of us we learned the importance of “sharing” back in preschool and kindergarten. But toward the end of Jesus’ last words to his disciples before his passion, Jesus gives a specific reason why he prays for his disciples to live as one. Join us for worship as we hear God’s Word, pointing us toward what it is we are to do as we await the coming of the Spirit.
