Pray: Glory (Phil Chapman)

In this final message of the Pray series, Phil Chapman closes with the doxology often added to the Lord’s Prayer: “Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” Though these words don’t appear in the oldest manuscripts of Matthew 6:13, Phil shows how they echo King David’s great prayer in 1 Chronicles 29:10–13, where all praise and honour are given to God as the true King.He explains that this declaration is like a doorway we walk through when leaving the quiet place of prayer and stepping back into daily life. It reorients us: God rules the kingdom, all power belongs to Him, and His glory is our purpose. From Ephesians 1:12–14, Phil reminds us that God redeems His people not just for heaven, but so that our lives now might “be for the praise of His glory.”The message lifts our eyes to the big picture of God’s plan to restore all things (Habakkuk 2:14), while also calling us to live practically as His glory bearers in every sphere of life, sacred and secular alike. For the believer, no place is without God. We carry His presence and His glory everywhere we go.Phil concludes by urging us to embrace our purpose with confidence as we step into a new season: to live as God’s people, declaring with our lives that “Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.”
