The first of our Fall series about being a Good News People.
Jesus prays a shocking prayer during his Last Supper: that God would not remove his followers from the world, but empower & protect us as they go into it. Jesus still sends his followers into the world to share this good news! The gospel is utterly counter-cultural, even offensive! God's answer starts with remembering who we are in Christ, & what God & others did for us — and loving/praying for God & others more than ourselves. Only then will we display & declare the gospel as good news. Jesus promises that we go with his authority, Spirit, & protection — then he sealed those promises through his death/resurrection.
Primary text is John 17:12-18. Slide deck linked here
