This week's broadcast is the sermon I gave at Church of the Messiah. 
The sermon was called "Being Holy" 
 It is part of my series, "Knowing Jesus: John's Intimate Biography."

"Being Holy"
  
Today’s Reading:  John 17:6-19  (ESV)
“I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.[a] 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them[b] in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself,[c] that they also may be sanctified[d] in truth.

_________________________________________________________________
NOTES:
1a. Every human being is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

1b. Without in any way diminishing His real sovereignty over all things, God gives you real freedom.

1c. Father, help me to live in the world with a deepening confidence that You gave me to Jesus, and that You are still giving people to Jesus in this city, and in every city throughout the world.

2. Holy Father, keep me safe in Your name, so that I will seek to be one with other Christians, as You are one with Jesus. And keep me safe from the the devil and from all evil.

3. Father, set me aside in the truth, and for the truth. Make me holy in the truth, and for the truth. May all I do be in the truth, and for the truth. Your word is true.

4. Father, help me to live in the world with a deepening confidence that God the Son of God, dedicated Himself to do Your will, and die on the cross on my behalf, that I might be wholly, truly Yours.
