Part 1: The Disciple's Unique Calling
Series: Discipleship Distinctives
Stuart Briscoe
John 17:6-19
During His relatively brief public ministry, Jesus spent a disproportionate amount of time with a small group of disciples. In His final hours, He clarified why He had done so and what He planned for them. His words must resonate with modern day disciples.

Stuart Briscoe
John 8:31-36; 15:1-8; 17:15-19
