We’re starting a new series today. Quite simply, it will be a series that looks at the kingdom of God. It will be a look at the kingdom of God and all the other kingdoms of this world. In short, it will be a look at the Second Petition. In this petition, we pray that God’s kingdom will come. It will also look at the Fourth Commandment. In this commandment, God calls us to honor our father and mother, i.e., to honor, obey, and respect all those who are in authority over us. He teaches us how to live in other kingdoms.

Under God is a series that calls us to live under God in his kingdom and under those He has placed over us. That’s what we’ll be looking at and considering over the next couple of weeks. Today, we want to consider the kingdom of God. To do that, we’ll learn to sing Psalm 72, at least in our hearts, as we cry out, “Long live the King!”
