Pastor Mark Hogan teaches on Psalm 110 as the most significant messianic psalm, using Jesus' question to the Pharisees to prove the Messiah is David's Lord, not merely his son. He expounds verses 1-2, showing that the command to "sit at my right hand" signifies Christ's heavenly enthronement, fulfilled at his ascension and exaltation as cited in Acts and Ephesians. The "until" attached to his reign reveals an inaugurated kingdom—Christ rules from heaven now while enemies persist until final judgment, echoing 1 Corinthians 15 and Hebrews 10. God extends Christ's kingly scepter from Zion through gospel proclamation and Church building (Matthew 16, 28; Acts 2), demonstrating his rule even while Satan and persecuting powers remain active. The practical application is that believers should have joyful optimism and confidence in Christ's current enthronement while expecting opposition as normal. He also calls believers to hope, believing that Psalm 110:1's "until" guarantees that all enemies, including death, will ultimately be vanquished.

The first thing we ascribe unto the Spirit herein is, that he supplies and furnishes the mind with a due comprehension of the matter of prayer, or what ought, both in general and as unto all our particular occasions, to be prayed for. Without this I suppose it will be granted that no man can pray as he ought; for how can any man pray that knows not what to pray for? Where there is not a comprehension hereof, the very nature and being of prayer is destroyed. And herein the testimony of the apostle is express: Rom. viii. 26, "Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered."
