Good Evening, I just want to start off by saying, that it is an honor to be here and I look forward to the time we will spend together over the next months which will hopefully turn into years of close Godly fellowship with each other.
I want to say that I know and love pastor Don and have the utmost respect for him and am grateful that he trusts me enough to allow me to preach to you all this evening.
America’s desire to be one nation under God is quickly becoming instead of the United States the divided states.
Everywhere you look division is occurring.
Presidential candidates talk about uniting the nation while they fight.
Racially, the divisions within our own homes and families and the divisions seem to keep growing now matter what people try to do to heal them.
1 Corinthians 12:12-
I believe that the reason we are facing so much turmoil and division as a nation is because we have so much division in the church.
I also believe that the reason we are not seeing as much revival in this nation as the Lord desires is because churches have bought into the idea that the church should be run as a business and not as a body.
Jesus Christ prayed a prayer it is the longest recorded prayer that He prayed in the Bible.
He is going to tell us something in His prayer in the garden of Gethsemane that will be life transforming, both individually and within the body of Christ.
He says I am praying not only for my disciples but I am praying for all Christians.
So Jesus’ prayer is for you and me as well, and tucked in that prayer is something powerful.
He says I am praying not only for my disciples but I am praying for all Christians.
So Jesus’ prayer is for you and me as well, and tucked in that prayer is something powerful.
The thing Jesus prays for that is the central point of this prayer, really is about the power of unity.
The thing Jesus prays for that is the central point of this prayer, really is about the power of unity.
John 17:21
So as you can see Jesus is concerned in His prayer with oneness.
With unity.
Jesus desires that His followers emulate the oneness that He has with His own Father.
So as you can see Jesus is concerned in His prayer with oneness.

What is unity?
So, Jesus is standing on the edge of the crucifixion.
He is in His last hours, the weight that He feels is deep, He is coming to the place where He will die a brutal death on the cross at Calvary and He knows that he will have the wrath of His Father poured out in full on Him.
Now we face trials in our lives but nothing compared to what Jesus is about to face, if we are to learn anything from the Lord it would be now at HIs most intense moment of trial where He knew exactly was going to happen, you can learn alot about a person by the way they pray....
By what they pray as they darkest hour is upon them, and what was one of the main topics of His prayer?
His people.
First of all Jesus prays for Himself, preparing Himself for the things which are about to take place.
Then He shifts His focus off of Himself and onto, His disciples…
This shows how much He cared for his men, His disciples those who walked with Him and shared in His ministry.
JESUS CARES ABOUT HIS FOLLOWERS!
I don’t think there is any doubt when we look at this passage that we can understand that Jesus is on the verge of death one of His last acts before the cross He is praying for the ones who were the closest followers of Him.
But He doesn’t just pray for them, He prays for another group.
John 17:
So Jesus is not just talking about His disciples that were there with Him at that moment He is praying for those who will believe (future tense) through their word.
That is you and me.
This shows us His heart and this shows us the heart of God Himself.
Jesus moves on in His prayer to show His understanding of the world in which we live.
John 17:
Jesus says these followers of mine, have a new home and it is not this evil world.
The world we live in is the Bible calls in world system that is being driven and governed by the Devil Himself.
When the Bible says “do not be conformed to the world, that phrase in the greek actually means do not be squeezed into the mold of the evil world system.”
Why?
Because the world, the culture is antiChrist, it is antiChristian, Jesus Himself affirms this when He says His followers are not of the world because He is not part of the world and the world hates them.
We live in a society today that hates all things Christian, they are pro choice, they are pro religion so long as it is the not the Christian religion, and they are for redefining marriage and gender, these are just some of the ways that the world stands against the Lord.
This was something Jesus was aware of He knew that if the disciples would walk with Him and obey the great commission, then they would have the world against them, because Satan Himself lives to oppose the good work that God wants to do.
Just as the world has a system ruled by the devil who seeks to overthrow the work of God, Jesus also has something to accomplish His plan.
It is called the church, the ekklesia, the body of Christ.
It means the called out ones.
Those who have been called out of darkness and into the light, we who have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb and brought to life power of the resurrection!
Now we have made one fatal error as a church in our world today, we have began thinking within the realm of our own kingdom, and not what can we do to impact the kingdom of God.
Think about it, we have meetings to make sure our churches are ran well, we have plans for how we can grow our congregations.
The biggest thing weakening the church today is that we are too internally focused!
We worry about what is best for Mt.
Enon, UHBC, Hodgesville.
But we have missed the bigger picture, we are part of a much larger church, the church universal, the kingdom of God.
Nothing wrong with trying to grow, theres nothing wrong with being prepared and planning, but I believe in my heart that when hodgesville sits here, and UHBC sits there, and MT.
Enon is down here, and we never come together for the cause and kingdom of Jesus Christ we are going against one of Jesus’ last prayer request before He went tot he cross.
Have you ever thought about it that way?
That Jesus was making some final requests here in this prayer?
That He is praying for Union Hill, for Mt.
Enon, and for Hodgesville and all the other churches in our area, and He has one thing He wants for us as a church, and one thing He wants for us individually.
So what does God want from me individually?
YOUR SANCTIFICATION
Jesus is praying here for His followers and He says Father sanctify them.
To sanctify something means to set apart.
This means that as we as followers of Jesus Christ take in the Truth of the word of God then something ought to begin changing within us.
We ought to start being set apart that we ought to begin looking different, Jesus says in this statement, Father sanctify them, set them apart for a specific purpose by the truth, your word is truth.
Let’s not over complicate what Jesus is saying right here, as a follower of His you should be consecrated and set apart for service.
Not just the ministers in this room, but you as a church member, you have been given a ministry, and it is to go out of these walls and share the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ, EVERYWHERE!
The goal of the Christian life is that each and every day you will be formed more and more into the image of Jesus Christ that when people see you they don’t see you at all but they see the Jesus in you.
Jesus here in his final moments before His betrayal prays that the Father would sanctify, His followers by the truth.
He desires that we be set apart by the truth, that we be a fit vessel by which we can live on mission, the mission which he began.
Jesus came to seek and save that which is lost, and He has called His church to continue His mission, until He returns.
But in order for the church as a whole we must be unified.
So Jesus’ prayer is for you and me for the church, each church, to be unified.
Since He is concerned about unity and oneness let’s clarify what this word means.
Everybody doesn’t define this word the same way.
But Jesus says I want them to be one like you Heavenly father and I are one.
So whatever the unity is that He wants us to have it it is to be a replica of the oneness He and His Father had.
What did this unity mean?
Unity is all about oneness of purpose, I completed the work that you gave me to do.
Unity does not mean we are all the same, it is differences, and distinctives going in the same direction in order to acheive the same goal.
Unity is purpose driven
How many of you in this room believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven?
How many of you in this room believe that Jesus dies for your sins on the cross and has resurrected and is seated at the right hand of God the Father?
How many of you believe that the primary means that God has chosen to spread the good news of the gospel is by using the church namely you and me to tell others of Jesus Christ?
How many of you believe that glorifying God is the primary reason we exist here on this Earth.
WE ARE THE SAME
CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH MADE UP OF THE SAME STUFF
WE LIKE DIFFERENT MUSIC, WE HAE DIFFERENT OPINIONS ABOUT LIFE BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE CORE ESSENTIALS WE HAVE ALL AGREED WE HAVE THE SAME GOAL.
TO REACH THE LOST FOR THE GLORY OF JESUS CHRIST.
When the Alabama Crimson Tide line up in a football game there are many different sizes and many different positions and roles but there is only one goal line and if they desirte to win they all have to function in harmony.
They all have the same goal, to beat the opponent.
They all have different backround and interests but when it comes to the football field everybody has something in common.
We all serve the same Lord we believe the same things, we worship the One and only God of Heaven and we are stronger together than we could ever be seperate.
we should not compete against one another, we should not compare our churches with other churches but rather respect each other and work together to obey Jesus Christ.
