Latest / Why I Believe / Faithful Friday #15: Built to Be One
Transcript
- 0:00Hello, and welcome back to Faithful Friday.
- 0:03Today we'll spend a few moments in scripture, reflection, and prayer.
- 0:07If you are driving or unable to pause right now, simply listen and come back to this reflection later when you can give it your full attention.
- 0:15Today's scripture comes from the Gospel of John, chapter 17, verses 20 through 23.
- 0:23I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, that they may all be one.
- 0:30Even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
- 0:39The glory which you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world
- 0:51may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
- 0:59Today's reflection question is how can I be a bridge builder rather than a divider in my family, church, workplace, or community?
- 1:11I'm going to invite you to pause this recording now.
- 1:13Spend a few moments talking with God about what you heard.
- 1:16Ask him what he wants you to understand, where he is calling you to grow, and what steps he wants you to take next.
- 1:24When you're ready, come back and we'll close together in prayer.
- 1:32Welcome back.
- 1:34Let's pray the prayer Jesus taught us.
- 1:37Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
- 1:47Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
- 1:59Amen.
- 2:01As you go into your day, carry the scripture with you.
- 2:04Ask yourself, this week, where do you see God showing up in your life?
- 2:09Thank you for joining me for Faithful Friday.
- 2:11I'll see you next week.
