Scripture Reading from Daniel 7:9-14 ESV
Daniel 7 ESV and Audio
The Ancient of Days Reigns
9 “As I looked,
thrones were placed,
and the Ancient of Days took his seat;
his clothing was white as snow,
and the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames;
its wheels were burning fire.
10 A stream of fire issued
and came out from before him;
a thousand thousands served him,
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him;
the court sat in judgment,
and the books were opened.
11 “I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
The Son of Man Is Given Dominion
13 “I saw in the night visions,
and behold, with the clouds of heaven
there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the Ancient of Days
and was presented before him.
14 And to him was given dominion
and glory and a kingdom,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
should serve him;
his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
that shall not be destroyed.

SERMON NOTES
Sunday, May 1, 2022
Series: ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN
Message: Your Kingdom Come
Scripture: Matthew 6:10 ESV
Pastor Philip Miller
Jesus knows what it’s like to live within this broken world, and He knows how to pray His way through it.
In this passage from the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus is going to teach us how to pray our way through the brokenness of this life.
This sermon focuses on Matthew 6:10: “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” We explore four key questions:
What is the Kingdom?
Where has it gone?
When will it come?
Why pray for it?
What is the Kingdom?
- The Kingdom of God is the “reign of God.” Wherever God reigns as King, there His Kingdom is. Or another way to think about it: God’s Kingdom is the realm over which He has say, and the sphere in which His will is carried out. Wherever the will of God is done, there his Kingdom is. So, when we pray, “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” we’re asking that the reign of God would be established right here and right now, that the range of His effective will would extend and envelope this world, and that God would bring the rule of Heaven to earth and make everything right again. So, if we are being taught to pray “your kingdom come,” in a sense, the kingdom must be missing.
Where has it gone?
- The Kingdom has been hijacked by rebels. This world, designed for beauty under the Kingdom Rule of God, was hijacked by Satan and has fallen under his dominion. And we’re part of the rebellion. Every time we disregard what God says and choose to do what we want instead, and we ratify the rebellion. We desperately need God’s Kingdom, but when will it come?
When will it come?
- In one sense, it never really left, because the Kingdom is forever. What this means is that the Kingdom has come, the Kingdom is coming now, and the Kingdom is yet to come, all at the same time. In other words, the Kingdom of God has always been here, has come already in Jesus, is coming even now, and it yet to come. And all of it is on God’s timetable.
Why pray for it?
- If God’s going to do what God’s going to do, and the Kingdom won’t come until Jesus returns, and we can’t hurry him along, then why should we pray for God’s Kingdom to come? When we do this, we’re praying on 3 levels: your kingdom come in me, your kingdom come through me, and your kingdom come take over.
Takeaway: “Come quickly, Lord Jesus!”
- Wherever You are revered as Holy, the world becomes whole.
- Whenever you are acknowledged as King, everything finds its rightful place.
- Whoever surrenders to your will finds abundant life and freedom.

Episode 25: Syncing Our Agenda With Heaven’s Agenda
Pastor Philip and Pastor Eric
Podcast Updated Weekly
Do you come to God in prayer with an agenda of your own? Or do you pray for God’s will to be done in your life and in the lives of those around you? In this episode, Pastors Philip and Eric explore how to reform our prayers to a Kingdom mindset. This simple shift that can have profound effects on our prayer life.
In this conversation, they discuss what it means to pray for “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” from Matthew 6:10. When we pray this phrase, we’re attempting to sync up our agenda on earth with the Heavenly agenda.
They also answer important questions from listeners about the sermon:
1) What reason do we have to engage in social and political action on earth
as we await Jesus’ return?
2) What is the “Kingdom” that we are praying for?
3) How should a person submit their life to God in prayer?
4) What if we feel like submission to God makes our prayers weaker?
5) What are Pastor Philip’s biggest takeaways from this passage?

PASTOR TO PEOPLE
“Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.”
This phrase in The Lord’s Prayer resonates with me deeply. This sin-riddled world is not as it should be. There is pain, heartache, and brokenness everywhere. Just turn on the news. We ache for redemption and renewal. We long for things to be made right “on earth as it is in Heaven.” Don’t you want to implore Someone to intervene in all of this?
And yet, unexpectedly at times, there is great beauty here too: sunrises and sunsets, the laughter of a child, the fresh green of spring returning. Marbled into this broken world is a pervasive beauty that awakens wonder. Don’t you want to thank Someone for the goodness in all of this?
We live in this paradox of brokenness and beauty. Delighted and desperate. Imploring and grateful. Washed by grace, and awaiting glory.
I love C. S. Lewis’ insights in “The Problem of Pain”: The settled happiness and security which we all desire, God withholds from us by the very nature of the world: but joy, pleasure, and merriment, He has scattered broadcast. We are never safe, but we have plenty of fun, and some ecstasy. It is not hard to see why. The security we crave would teach us to rest our hearts in this world and oppose an obstacle to our return to God: a few moments of happy love, a landscape, a symphony, a merry meeting with out friends, a bathe or a football match, have no such tendency. Our Father refreshes us on the journey with some pleasant inns, but will not encourage us to mistake them for home.
And so we pray as Jesus taught us, “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.” Because no matter what this life brings, we are loved, more than we know.
