What Jesus Desiers

Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 10, 2003

This sermon discusses the unity Jesus prayed for his people in John 17. It is the kind of koininia exemplified in the Trinity. This unity occurs because of change of heart rather than a change of organizational structure.

What Jesus Desires John 17:10-11,20-23 2-20-02 This morning we want to talk about - What Jesus Desires as Reflected in John 17. We are prone to focus is on what we desire and how we can receive what we want and need from the Lord. That’s not wrong. God tells us to delight ourselves in Him and ...read more

Scripture -- all of it, read copiously over a long time -- shapes our minds and brings us light, far more than the narrow sectarian vocabularies of our cradle faith.

Fitting In

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 13, 2011

comedian Lenny Bruce gives our Christian psychology a metaphorical cattle prod shock when he said, “Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.’” I suspect it has a lot to do with fitting in.

“Fitting In” John 17:11-19 I read the prologue to a story called Girl in the Middle. The girl is Kim Satinsky who is in eighth grade. She says, “You would think that being in a clique is fun but take my word for it: It’s not. They make me wear expensive things when I’m not really rich and tell me ...read more
