Prayer Modeled: Jesus Our Intercessor Pt. 2
Aug 6, 2023 • Pastor Josh Pate
This sermon examines the importance of unity within the Christian community as modeled by Jesus's own prayer before his crucifixion. Jesus, knowing his disciples would face hardship and division, prayed for their unity in faith, both with each other and with God. This unity, Pastor Josh argues, is achieved through intercessory prayer, a practice where believers pray on behalf of others. He highlights the power of such prayer, citing scripture to demonstrate its role in fulfilling the law of Christ and promoting love within the community. Ultimately, this unity is not merely a personal goal but a means to demonstrate God's love to the world, allowing others to see Jesus through the unified actions of his followers.
