John 17: Offensive Prayer

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2285288/fan_mail/new] Did you know Jesus prayed for you by name before you were ever born? In John 17, on the night before His crucifixion, Jesus prayed not just for His disciples but for every person who would ever believe through their message. That includes you. This message explores one of the most personal and overlooked passages in all of Scripture. Jesus prays three things for every believer: that we would be unified, that we would receive the Father's love, and that we would one day be with Him. But the heart of the message centers on one stunning verse. In John 17:23, Jesus asks the Father to love us the same way He loves Jesus. Not similarly. Not almost as much. Equal to. Before Jesus performed a single miracle or preached a single sermon, the Father spoke over Him at His baptism and said, this is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Three things every person longs to hear: I love you. I am proud of you. You are mine. That is the love God wants to give you. The parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15 shows us what that love looks like in action. The father does not wait for an apology. He sees his son from a distance and runs. He restores him completely, not because the son earned it, but because that is who the father is. That is who God is toward you. Many people find it difficult to share their faith, not because they do not care, but because it is nearly impossible to give away a love you have never fully received. This message challenges you to sit with the Father's love until it becomes real, and then to look for one person in your life who needs to hear it. Topics covered include the power of offensive prayer, why evangelism feels so hard, the chain of ordinary people God uses to spread the gospel, Christian unity as a witness to the world, the unconditional love of God the Father, and how to be part of Jesus answering His own prayer.
