...
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Jesus Christ. John 1:17
O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee,
O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

John 17:1 – 17:26

  1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
  2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
  3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
  4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
  5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
  6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
  7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
  8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received [them], and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
  9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
  10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
  11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we [are].
  12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
  13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
  14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
  15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
  16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
  17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
  18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
  19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
  20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
  21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
  22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
  23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
  24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
  25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
  26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare [it]: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe…

In one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;

In the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death for all through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead;

In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ;

In the divine inspiration of all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments as originally given, guaranteeing their infallibility, entire trustworthiness, and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;

That all people are sinners and cannot save themselves. Salvation is received as a free gift of God’s grace, apart from works, through repentance and personal faith in the redemptive work of Christ and the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit;

In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the eternal blessedness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost;

In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ who are thus members of His Body, the Church, whose work is the worship of God, perfecting the saints, and evangelization of the world.
