Marketplace Kingdom Season Three Episode 2-Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done

Much of what passes for news today plays on people’s fears. It
appeals to their personal desires and agendas. And yet in Matthew
6:27-33, the Lord Jesus says, “ Do not worry then, saying, ‘What
will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for
clothing?’For the Gentiles (or pagans) eagerly seek all these
things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these
things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all
these things will be added to you.” Even as Christians, our prayers
are often dominated by our personal concerns and fears. But
according Jesus, this is the way pagans pray. On the other hand, He
taught us to pray and focus on a different priority. The Kingdom.
“Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom
come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” That is the
focus of our conversation this installment of Marketplace Kingdom.
This is our second episode with Charles Kim, diversity coordinator
for Christian Reformed missions, prayer leader, and director of
Prayer Summit 2017. Charles is back with us to continue our
conversation on prayer for such a time as this. Prayer that rises
from a heart that cries “Father, thy kingdom come…thy will be
done…”
