Sermon by Michael Bailey on April 19, 2026. Key scripture: John 17:6-19  In John 17:6–19, Jesus prays for His followers to navigate a confusing world by being kept, sanctified, and sent. Rather than removing them from the world, He asks the Father to guard them, shape them through His truth, and send them on mission with purpose and confidence. This sermon reminds believers that their identity is secure in Christ—and from that security, they are empowered to live distinctly and missionally where they are.
