Final Prayer: Mini-Movie

The final words spoken by someone before their lives expire will often capture what they believe to be most important. Just before Jesus is arrested and crucified, He prays. These are some of His final words. His prayer is not just for His disciples then, it was for all who would believe in Him one day He prays for unity. But why? It is because our oneness points to something greater, God's great love for the world. Use this Mini Movie as a sermon bumper into your next message or as a worship opener.
