ask in my name / John 16:23-27

John 16:23-27

In the intimate setting of the Upper Room discourse, Jesus prepares his disciples for a world without his physical presence by promising them the indwelling Holy Spirit, his eventual return, and a new confidence in prayer that would sustain their mission. This message examines what it truly means to pray “in Christ’s name”—not as a religious phrase, but as a life submitted under the authority, mission, and desires of the Son of God. This sermon calls believers to a deeper devotion to prayer, recognizing that no sinner approaches the Father on personal merit, but only through Christ our advocate and intercessor.
