John 17
Read full descriptionHide full description
Our One Passion Everything, every heart beat, every word, every action and every dream of Jesus was relational. His passion is and always has been to swing wide the gate for us to be in deep relationship with Him and one another. In utter vulnerability, Jesus revealed His heart before He went to the cross: "Oh Father, may they be one with us and one another... so that the world will know Me and they will know You love them as You love Me." (Jesus, John chapter 17) Our passion is simple. Live for His Prayer to be answered. All we are and do is prayerfully, purposefully and passionately directed for His Prayer in John Chapter 17 to be fulfilled. When you truly love someone, you desire their every prayer to be fulfilled. That's the way we feel about Jesus. Together, let's give this love gift to Him and to every beautiful soul on this planet.
