What Jesus Prayed For

Contributed by Dennis Deese on Aug 25, 2003

I believe the limited revelation of the content of Jesus prayer - that is, the content of His prayer limited, for the most part, to this passage, rather than it being recorded each time He prayed, - is to help us to understand that the most important fac

Christ Glorified In Us

Contributed by David Johnston on Sep 24, 2006

This message deals with Christ’s prayer in John 17 for His disciples sanctification and our need to live a sanctified life for Christ to be glorified in us.
