    Summary

    Christian emphasizes the significance of the doxology in the Lord's Prayer, particularly the phrase "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever." He explains that this phrase encapsulates the fullness of God and serves as the foundation of prayer. Christian references biblical passages, including 1 Chronicles 29:11 and 2 Timothy 4:18, to illustrate the omnipotence and glory of God. He highlights King David's acknowledgment of God's sovereignty after learning a profound lesson about humility and the dangers of pride. Christian asserts that the kingdom of God is central to Jesus' teachings, as evidenced by its frequent mention in the New Testament. He notes that the kingdom is not merely a political entity but a cosmic reality, intimately connected to the person of Jesus Christ. Christian encourages believers to recognize that the kingdom belongs to God and to seek it earnestly. He concludes by urging the congregation to embrace the spirit of humility and to pray for a deeper understanding of God's kingdom, emphasizing that true worship acknowledges God's sovereignty over all aspects of life.

    9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
