The Real Lord’s Prayer – John 17:20

John 17:20 – “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word.” As we come to v20 we move into a new section of Jesus’ prayer, and one which is immensely encouraging for us personally.  As we have noted previously, in the first 6 verses…

John 17:18-19  “As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.  And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.” Last time, as we looked at this second main request in this, the Real Lord’s Prayer, we saw what Jesus meant when he prayed that…

The Real Lord’s Prayer – John 17:11 (2)

John 17:11  “Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one”. I have pointed out to you previously that there are actually just two very specific requests made by Jesus in this prayer – “keep them” and “sanctify them”. As we saw…

Why we need to take Genesis 1-2 literally

While genuine, Bible loving, Christians take different stances on Genesis 1 and 2, I believe it is vital and necessary that we take a literal, 6 day view of creation and the account given to us in Genesis 1-2.  It is vital and necessary for a number of reasons, which we will consider over several…
