The Transformative Power of Prayer

Prayer serves as a vital means for individuals to deepen their relationship with God and gain insight into their own lives. It creates a sacred space where people can reflect on their innermost thoughts and emotions in the presence of a holy God, allowing the Holy Spirit to transform their hearts. This transformation can lead to a greater awareness of the profound love of Christ, as prayer not only fosters communication with God but also enables personal growth and understanding. By engaging consistently in prayer, one can experience repentance and spiritual renewal.

What does it mean to pray, “Thy kingdom come”?

Jesus gave us his instruction on how to pray in the Lord’s Prayer, and it’s filled with concepts you need to know from the rest of the Bible. There are two places—Matthew 5 and Luke 6—where Jesus tells us a lot about the kingdom of God and the blessedness of the kingdom.

I want to show you 1) what the kingdom of God is, 2) what it’s not, 3) what it’s like, 4) how you enter it, and 5) how that relates to prayer.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 12, 2014. Series: The Prayer of Prayers. Scripture: Luke 6:20-26, 46-49.
