Your Kingdom Come

Whether we know it or not, all people long for the coming of the Kingdom. For a world rightly ordered under God. A world of justice, righteousness, and peace. The good news is that God is the King. He comes bringing justice. He comes to fight for his people. And every cry for justice, every longing to be filled is ultimately answered by the coming of God’s Kingdom. In this sermon on Revelation 1:9–20, in which the apostle John sees a glorious vision of Christ in heaven, Pastor Luke Herche helps us rest in Jesus’ present reign and hope in his coming return as he talks about the people of the kingdom, the presence of the kingdom, and the glory of the King. Part of a series on the book of Revelation. From Sunday Worship, March 8, 2026. ------------------------------- Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: How do you experience the tension between the kingdom and tribulation today? How does this shape the way you view the accounts of injustice we see in the news? When you look at the brokenness of the world or your own heart, are you more tempted to give in to despair (expecting too little of the kingdom) or to demand that heaven appear fully right now (expecting too much of the “overlap of the ages”)? How does the already and not-yet of the kingdom shape what you mean when you pray “your kingdom come”? If you began tomorrow morning truly believing that you are part of a kingdom where the old divisions no longer matter, how might that change the way you interact with those who are different from you in your workplace or community or world? What can you do to proclaim and manifest the coming of the kingdom in its present form today (i.e. to proclaim Jesus and be his hands and feet in the world)? ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.
