Commenting on these verses, the 18th century pastor, J.C. Ryle said, “There are things here that are hard to understand.” In this message, we spend some time explaining some of these tough passages working our way to Jesus’ great petition that the Father keep His children in the faith. Taking in this truth and seeing its powerful foundation will comfort and refresh us in God’s love.

Kept by the Father // John 17:6-9

For centuries, Christians have traveled to foreign soil to plant churches. Tri-State Community Church is an effort to plant a church right here in the Tri-State area. In a sense we are stateside missionaries with a heart to take the Good news of Jesus Christ to the Tri-State area. Tri-State Community Church operates under the oversight of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church (ARP).

At Tri-State Community Church we are centered on God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Through the person of Jesus Christ, God has fulfilled His ancient promise to dwell among His people, be their God, and gather His family. Jesus does what religion fails to do—change the hearts of His followers. Jesus continues to gather His family by advocating His gospel through His church.

Our purpose is to gather a family who loves and serves God through Jesus Christ and leads others in kind.
