    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 13, 2022
     | 1,871 views

    On the last night of Jesus' life before going to the cross, He spent time with the Father in prayer, serving as our great High Priest making intercession with God the Father on our behalf (Hebrews 3:1, 6:20). This "high priestly" prayer warrants our attention.

    So far in John's gospel, we have encountered glorious portraits of the life, work, and teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ that give "many convincing proofs" (Acts 1:3) of HIs divinity and godly authority which no one else can ever claim. He healed the sick, raised the dead, fed the ...read more

    By show of hands this morning, let’s see how many of you remember these catch phrases from your childhood (my guess is that you responded to these, like I did, with an exaggerated eye roll but now you say some of them yourself): • Money doesn’t grow on trees. • Were you born in a barn? • They sure ...read more

    If you’re like me, one of the most frustrating aspects of my spiritual life is my prayer life. I don’t ever feel like I am praying enough. I feel like my mind wanders too often in prayer.
