The Big Picture Prayer
Jun 21, 2026 • Jeff Guthrie
Hours before his crucifixion, Jesus was not panicking. He was praying, and remarkably, he was praying for you. John 17 contains the only long word-for-word recording of Jesus praying found anywhere in the Gospels. It is a window into his thoughts during his final hours, and what you find there is not fear or desperation but clarity, peace, and purpose. Because when you understand the bigger picture, present circumstances simply cannot define you. Listen to this sermon and discover why understanding your purpose will carry you through your hardest moments.
