Dear Church Family,
“Your kingdom come.” God’s kingdom is established when Christ rules in people’s hearts through his Word. And so we pray that God would send us the Holy Spirit to strengthen Christ’s rule in our hearts. And we pray that his ruling activity would spread and increase on this earth so that more people would believe his promises and be so changed by them that they would live their lives to his glory—lives overflowing with joy and compassion, walking humbly, seeking justice, showing mercy, giving generously, and proclaiming salvation.
And so we pray, “Your kingdom come. Dear Father, please strengthen our faith in Christ. Save us from misplaced priorities, cold indifference, devilish lies, and false ideologies. Preserve in saving faith all those we love. Use us and all that we have here in Doral so that your kingdom would advance and Satan’s turf in people’s hearts be reclaimed by the power of the gospel. Bless the preaching and teaching of all of our Divine Savior campuses and across the world through the ministry of our synod.”
Friends, one can hardly pray, “Your kingdom come” and not long to be at worship with Christian brothers and sisters where God promises to be at work through his Word. So please join me at church either this Saturday evening at 5:00 pm or Sunday morning at 9:30 am as God we worship together and God gives us his Spirit to strengthen our faith. All are welcome!
