In this sermon from John 17, we are invited into the true Lord’s Prayer — not the prayer given to the disciples, but the prayer Jesus Himself prayed on behalf of His people. As Christ lifts His disciples before the Father, we are given a glimpse into the heart of our Savior and the ongoing work He is accomplishing for those who belong to Him.
Jesus prays for the preservation of His people, their joy in the midst of a hostile world, their protection from the evil one, their growth in holiness through the truth of God’s Word, and their witness to a world that desperately needs the Gospel. This passage reminds us that believers are not abandoned, aimless, or forgotten — they are loved by the Father, secured by the Son, empowered by the Spirit, and sent with a mission.

God blesses His people for a greater purpose: that His name would be known and worshiped among all nations.

Jesus’ death was no accident. The details of His crucifixion unfolded according to God’s plan and fulfilled His Word. In this episode, we examine John 19:19–29 alongside Psalm 22 to see Jesus as King, High Priest, loving Son, and suffering Savior. Through the dividing of His garments, His care for His mother, and His thirst, we discover the depth of His love and the sacrifice He offered for sinners. Listen as we consider how the cross strengthens our confidence in Scripture and calls us to respond to Jesus with faith and a life turned from sin.
In this sermon, we come to the cross - the climax of history and the heart of the Christian faith. Jesus willingly goes to Golgotha as our substitute, bearing the penalty of sin and accomplishing the work of salvation on behalf of sinners.
In John 19:1–15, Jesus stands before Pilate beaten, mocked, and crowned with thorns. Yet in the midst of His humiliation, we see His glory revealed. The innocent Son of God willingly bears the curse, shame, and suffering that sinners deserve, fulfilling the plan of God and preparing to become the blameless sacrifice in our place.
In John 18:28–40, Jesus stands before Pilate as the innocent King while the world around Him rejects the truth standing right in front of them. As Pilate wrestles with the question, “What is truth?” Jesus reveals that His kingdom is not of this world and that He came to testify to the truth. The truth is not merely something to understand—it is found in the person of Jesus Christ.
