Your Kingdom Come
Praying Like the Master - Part 3 - Jesus talked constantly about the Kingdom of God. Mark says it was the essence of His teaching. What is the Kingdom of God? What are we asking God to do when we pray for His Kingdom to come? What happens when we start praying for the Kingdom, not just for ourselves?
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
When our bond with God was severed by our sin, He didn’t give up on us. He made a second Eden, a place for us to meet with Him and be redeemed. That place was the Temple, and the events that happened there teach us about a God who is mighty to save, the cost of our sin, and His plans for us.
