One Gospel, One Church, One Mission – John 17:20-23
In John 17 Jesus prayed for all who would come to believe in Him to be united. This prayer reveals that the Gospel of Jesus unites believers in mission. And it’s not just that members of local churches should be unified but that the one universal Church should be unified around the Gospel. In this sermon Pastor David explains the effort amongst several like-minded churches to saturate our community with a Gospel of Jesus Christ.
John 17:20–23 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me. 22 The glory that You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one even as We are one, 23 I in them and You in Me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that You sent Me and loved them even as You loved Me.
