00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:08.320
<v SPEAKER_00>Before Jesus went to the cross, he prayed.

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:16.320
<v SPEAKER_00>And even though he was about to face death, his focus was on our unity as his church.

00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:24.320
<v SPEAKER_00>In John 17, Jesus prays for his disciples and for all who would believe in him through their message.

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:29.199
<v SPEAKER_00>He says in verse 21, that all of them may be one.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.399
<v SPEAKER_00>Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.

00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:45.359
<v SPEAKER_00>One night before his crucifixion, Jesus prayed that his followers would live in unity.

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:51.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Unity is choosing love, humility, and shared purpose under Christ.

00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.119
<v SPEAKER_00>Today we are going to pray for unity in the church.

00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Take a moment to quiet your heart.

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:02.320
<v SPEAKER_00>Remember that you belong to something bigger than yourself.

00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:45.599
<v SPEAKER_00>Is there pride, comparison, resentment, or judgment that needs to be surrendered?

00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:48.080
<v SPEAKER_00>Bring that before him now.

00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:34.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Extend grace.

00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.199
<v SPEAKER_00>Pursue reconciliation when needed.

00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Let our unity perflect your love to the world.

00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:42.720
<v unknown>Amen.
