The Kingdom
He is the living God,
the one who lives forever.
His power and his kingdom
will never end. ~ Daniel 6:26 (CEV)
Father, help us
to honor your name.
Come and set up
your kingdom. ~ Luke 11:2 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
We purpose to be a part of the kingdom that God is establishing through Jesus.
PRAYER:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom
come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our
daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against
us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the
kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever.
Amen.
