What Does Thy Kingdom Come Mean? | Ep 94

What does “Thy Kingdom come” mean?In this second-to-last episode of Season 4, Brian begins wrapping up the Forgotten Kingdom by returning to the Lord’s Prayer. When Jesus teaches us to pray, “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven,” what exactly are we asking God to do?After reviewing the Soil & Roots journey through the Great Omission, the Discipleship Dilemma, the Formation Gap, and the Forgotten Kingdom, Brian explores the meaning of the Kingdom through the four relationships: with God, others, ourselves, and creation/culture.This episode asks whether we have reduced the Kingdom to salvation, heaven, the church, or an invisible spiritual reality, when the Gospel of the Kingdom is far larger. If the Kingdom is “God’s reign through God’s people over God’s place,” then praying “Thy Kingdom come” is a prayer for God’s reign to increase in human hearts, relationships, communities, institutions, creation, and culture. It is a prayer for loyalty, treason against the kingdom of darkness, and the reconciling work of Christ to continue in every part of life.Join us online! Web: ⁠⁠http://soilandroots.org⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠ https://soilandroots.substack.com/
