Kingdom Life Coaching: Discern God's Voice and Find Your Purpose

Ep 58 // The Reason Jesus’ Prayed for Unity and Against Division in John 17 {The SO THAT Series}

Welcome to the“SO THAT” series! This journey will lead you into the WHY behind the WHAT of the Christian faith. We’re told to know and believe so many things - but why?

Together we are studying the connector phrase “so that” as it relates to Scripture. This tiny little phrase will lead you deeper into the heart of God SO THAT Christ may be glorified in your life and on this earth.

In short, this series explores the REASON for the ACTION and BELIEF of the Christian faith. Why does any of this really matter?

FOCUS in this episode: John 17, CSB

We’re digging into Jesus’ final words in his prayer for his disciples and future believers. Why did he pray what he prayed? What does it mean for you and me?

Things we will explore in this episode:

• The reciprocity of glory - the Father to Jesus and Jesus to the Father

• Jesus is a conduit of God’s love, wisdom, and salvation

• Jesus’ prayer for protection

• Jesus’ fulfillment of Scripture

• Jesus’ prayer that we would be set apart

• Jesus’ prayer for unity

• Our unity as believers is what will bring the world to a saving knowledge of Jesus

• The glory we have as believers!

• What this prayer means for you and me as we follow Jesus

• Commitment to the church and the body of believers

Reflection questions you’ll ask yourself in this episode:

• Where in your life do you feel confused, alone, imposter syndrome? Let Jesus’ words of encouragement in John 17 encourage you!

• What does it look like for God’s church to be one this side of heaven? Do you believe this is possible?

• Where in your life do you feel love has been lost? How do you feel about this loss? Where do you desire restoration?
