The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

Amen.

Message | The Fulfillment of Joy

This week Glenn Collins walks us through the implications of Jesus’ prayer in John 17. It is a prayer that challenges our narrative of fear and lets us know that we are the fulfillment of God’s joy.

Formational Learning:

As we explored Jesus’ prayer in John 17, what stood out to you?

Were there any points of curiosity, clarity, confusion, or conflict that emerged as you walked through these stories?

(Head)

What changes when we begin the story with "we are the fulfilment of Jesus Joy" rather than inherently broken sinners?

(Heart)

How does moving from Jesus' hope challenge our narrative of fear?

How have you experienced being "the fulfilment of Jesus' joy?"

(Hands)

How can you show people they are the "fulfilment Jesus Joy?"

Our Benediction

May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you: wherever he may send you;

may he guide you through the wilderness: protect you through the storm;

may he bring you home rejoicing: at the wonders he has shown you;

may he bring you home rejoicing: once again into our doors.*
