A Warm and Hearty Prayer: Christ's Deepest Desires in John 17
On the night before He died, Jesus didn't pray for Himself first — He prayed for you. John 17 is one of Scripture's most intimate passages, a window into what Christ truly wants for His people. Howard Young unpacks what Luther called a 'warm and hearty prayer' — and what it means that God, not you, is the one doing the sanctifying. Check out this week's sermon from Triumphant Cross Lutheran!
