1 Corinthians 11:1, Paul is teaching us that he is our example to following Christ. Many times, we look to people for inspiration, for leadership, for mentorship. Unfortunately, many times, those people are false teachers who are preaching and teaching a false message. By looking at the example of Paul, we can trust that his is a true teacher, because he is following Christ.

John 17:20-26. In these verses, Jesus is praying for the church, He is praying for us today. In this prayer, He is asking for 5 specific things. Are these things found in church today?
