Worship Service for the Week of April 6th
Scripture Texts: John 17:1-5,20-26
Sermon: The Prayer That Started It All
Before the cross, before the resurrection, before the church was born, there was a prayer. A prayer so powerful, so intimate, that it shook the very foundations of heaven and earth. In John 17, Jesus lifts His voice to the Father, not just for Himself, but for His disciples and for us. This is not just any prayer. It is the prayer that started it all. A prayer of unity, mission, and eternal hope. A prayer that reveals the heart of Christ before He gave His life for the world. What does it mean that Jesus prayed for you before you ever spoke a word to Him? How does this prayer shape the way we live, love, and follow Him today? Join us as we unpack the final words of Jesus before the cross and discover how His prayer is still working in our lives today.

Discussion Questions
- Jesus prays, “Glorify your Son that your Son may glorify you” (John 17:1).
What does it mean today to glorify God in a culture that often centers on self-promotion and individualism? How do different generations experience this tension, and what can we learn from each other’s perspectives? - Jesus asks the Father to sanctify His disciples through truth (John 17:17).
In a world full of competing narratives and misinformation, how do we discern and stay rooted in God’s truth? - Jesus prayed for future believers to be one (John 17:20–21).
Given our current social, political, and even digital divides, what does genuine unity in Christ look like today? - What does unity mean across different ages, cultures, and experiences within the church, and what threatens that unity the most?
