[He Said, "Father"] John 17:17-19 | "Sanctify Them" (A New Year's Sermon)

<p>Sunday, January 2, 2022. John 17:17-19 | "Sanctify Them" (A New Year's Sermon)</p> <p>At the beginning of each new year, we evaluate a "vision" through personal goals or corporate strategy. We dream about who we hope to be and what we hope to accomplish in a short span of one year. Leaders of local church congregations strive to articulate a clear vision too, but the result is often secular, not sanctified.&nbsp;</p> <p>In this sermon, we stop to ask an all-important question: What is Christ's vision for His Church? Two simple answers emerge through this unfolding prayer of Jesus.&nbsp;</p> <p>May this message encourage you to evaluate your new year's vision in light of God's revealed Word.&nbsp;</p> <p>This message preaches from John 17:17-19. It is part of a preaching series through John 17, "He Said, 'Father.'" The title of this sermon is "Sanctify Them."&nbsp;</p>
