This week, Jordan continues our journey through The Lord's Prayer with a deeper look at what we're really praying and hoping for when we pray, "Your Kingdom Come."

Discussion Questions
- What line or phrase from the Lord’s Prayer stands out to you today? Why
do you think that line or phrase stands out? - “We are not referring to a place where we are going but rather a reality
that has come to us… the kingdom of God isn’t so much a place as it is a
new order in which… the will of God is done.” (Justo Gonzalez) What
surprises you or intrigues you about this definition of the Kingdom of God? - Reading Isaiah 11:6-9, what are some things that will be true when the
Kingdom of God has fully come? - Where God’s rule and reign is, there is freedom, healing, justice, humility,
and generosity. Can you think of a time this week when you saw one of
these values (or another kingdom value) on display, either in your life or in
your community? - When Jesus invites his followers to pray, “Your Kingdom come,” he makes
space for them to recognize before God that things aren’t the way they
ought to be. Where are you experiencing or noticing that things aren’t as
they ought to be?
