    And All These Things (Steve Hicks) | Seek First

    When you seek first the Kingdom, God takes care of the rest. In week 4 we circle back to where we started and preach the half of the verse we left unpreached in week one. Week 1 was seek first the kingdom. Week 4 is and all these things will be added to you. This answers the question that three weeks of pushing outward will have quietly raised in every honest heart. If I really put the kingdom first, ahead of my security and my plans, what happens to me, my job, my mortgage, my kids? Jesus answers the way he always does, with a Father who feeds the birds and clothes the grass and knows what we need before we ask. Paul calls us to take all these concerns to our Father in prayer. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God will guard your heart. When we’ve started with a posture of putting the King and his Kingdom first, we can be assured that when we turn to him in prayer he hears, he answers and he offers us his supernatural peace.

    Make Us Bold (Derik Fuller) | Seek First

    When the church prays, God makes ordinary people brave. Kingdom prayer does not stay indoors. In Acts 4 the church has just been threatened and ordered to stop speaking about Jesus. Notice what they do not pray for. They do not ask for safety or relief. They ask for boldness. And God shakes the room, fills them with the Spirit, and sends them back out speaking the word. This is the outward turn of the series and it builds off of where we finished last week. God’s will is for his people to take the good news of the king and his kingdom to the world around them. Praying the kingdom come becomes asking God for the courage to carry the gospel into a world that may push back. This week speak honestly about the real fears people have of our own moment, the cultural pressure, the cost of being openly Christian at work and in the neighbourhood. This week ties directly into the culture of evangelism and invitation that we long to see God increase in our church. It also teaches us that boldness does not require a certain type of personality. When the God’s people pray and the Holy Spirit fills us we have all that we need to face our fears and fulfill our mission.

    Your Kingdom Come (Kirk Giles) | Seek First

    We do not build the kingdom. We pray it down. Once our seeking has been reordered around the kingdom, Jesus teaches us how to ask for it. The Lord’s Prayer is the pattern, and the petition at its center is the one that carries this week. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. This reframes prayer for people who think of it as getting God to bless their own agenda. Kingdom prayer is surrender before it is request. It is asking God to have his way before it is asking God for our way. We make it concrete by naming what your kingdom come would actually mean across Forward. In struggling marriages and fractured families. In the way we order and prioritize our time and our money. In our workplaces, schools, and cities. What would it look like for God’s Kingdom to come, his will to be done? What would it look like for us to cry out to God for this, not only individually, but as his church?
