Praying for the Kingdom
Colossians 1:1-14
If you could have one wish …
The Thanksgiving
- A church they hadn’t visited
- Yet, they know about
- their faith
- their love
- their hope
- And, they thank God
- Ezekiel 36:25-27
- Philippians 2:12-13
The Prayer
- The knowledge of His will
- not so much in individualistic term
- but God’s purposes for and within His world
- In all spiritual wisdom and understanding
- knowing what the Bible says
- and being transformed by that
- That you may live a life worthy of the Lord – that is, that God may continue the work He has begun
- bearing fruit in every good work
- growing in the knowledge of God
- being strengthened for endurance and patience
- giving thanks to the Father – who
- gives a share in the inheritance of the saint
- rescues into His kingdom
- provides redemption in Jesus
- gives the forgiveness of sins
And so …
