“A Prayer for Our Country”
Scripture Reference: John Chapter 17
Regardless of who wins the November election, the U.S. needs and will need to heal. The divisive rhetoric, the racist tropes, the ongoing rifts between people along the lines of color, class, ethnicity, sex, age, politics and more are real, very real, and impact the capacity for us to live WHOLE lives on a daily basis.
Jesus speaks to this thoroughly in the gospel of John, and offers a prayer for our world, let alone our country, on how life — abundant life, eternal life — can be achieved, even as the forces of division would seek to make it not so.
Come with us as we wrap up our time in John in 2024, by examining Jesus’ prayer for himself, his followers and the world before he would be crucified and resurrected. In it for us, is a pathway for hope in these chaotic and tumultuous times.
Themes:
Lift Up the One Who Gives Life
Protect Us From The Evil One
That We May All Be One

A Note From Pastor Daniels
I pray that God is blessing you real good as we live into 2024!
On behalf of Pastor Milton and our leadership team, I am inviting you to join us this year on an 11-month journey with Jesus -- in worship and study -- through the gospel of John. 2024 is such a pivotal year in our world in so many ways, and with the times we find ourselves in, it is even more vital that we, as our ancestors used to say, "keep our minds staid on Jesus."
To that end, we will be taking a deep dive into the gospel of John, through our Sunday worship experiences and on Wednesdays, in our 12 noon and 7 pm. bible study offerings. We hope that the gospel of John will also find itself in conversations in various small group gatherings in our Emory community.
Of all the gospels, John makes Jesus very personal to us. We discover intimately who Jesus is, and how much Jesus loves us! In John, we are continuously informed and inspired by the promises and assurances Jesus makes to us. Furthermore, we are invited to believe and trust in Him, walking by faith in the light of life He provides -- light that not even the darkness can get rid of.
In these often contentious, divisive and combative times, we need Jesus. We need to live by His example, with a love that will transform the world.
We invite you to journey deeper with Jesus in 2024 -- keeping our minds staid on Jesus -- knowing that we are loved, and NOT condemned by the Savior of the World!
See you soon!
