The Disciples’ Prayer Series – Part 5
In this episode of the Experiencing Grace podcast, we continue our journey through the Disciples’ Prayer by exploring the phrase “Your Kingdom Come.” This simple petition opens up one of the most important themes in all of Scripture—the rule, reign, and active presence of God breaking into the world.
Jesus didn’t tell us to pray this because the Kingdom was absent. He told us to pray it because the Kingdom is already here, still coming, and one day will come in fullness. This episode unpacks that tension and shows how the Kingdom shapes our lives right now.
What We Explore in This Teaching
- What the Kingdom of God actually is: Not a place, not a political nation, but God’s ruling presence—His authority expressed in the hearts and lives of His people.
- Where the Kingdom is found: Jesus said the Kingdom is “in your midst.” It’s an internal, spiritual reality that manifests outwardly through transformed lives.
- When the Kingdom comes: Scripture reveals a two‑phase reality:
- Already — Jesus inaugurated the Kingdom in His ministry.
- Not Yet — The Kingdom will be fully revealed when Christ returns.
- How the Kingdom comes: Through Promise, Process, Proclamation, Power, Parousia, Peace, and Perfection—what I call the 7 Ps of Your Kingdom Come.
- Why this matters for discipleship: Praying “Your Kingdom Come” is not passive. It’s a call to align our lives with God’s reign and participate in His mission.
Highlights from the Notes
- The Kingdom is God’s reign, not merely His realm.
- Jesus’ ministry demonstrated the Kingdom through healing, deliverance, compassion, forgiveness, and authority over creation.
- The Kingdom spreads through repentance, reconciliation, and Spirit‑empowered witness.
- The increase of His Kingdom will never end (Isaiah 9:6–7).
- The parables of the mustard seed and yeast show the Kingdom’s slow, steady, unstoppable growth.
- We live in the tension of “already but not yet”—experiencing the Kingdom now while longing for its fullness at Christ’s return.

Discover what Jesus meant by “Father” in the Lord’s Prayer—and what it reveals about God, identity, and freedom in Christ.
In this episode of the Experiencing Grace Podcast, we listen to Part 2 of The Disciples Prayer Series: Father. Why did Jesus choose that word? What does it reveal about God—and about us?
We explore how Jesus didn’t just talk about God—He revealed Him. Through His life and teachings, Jesus showed us a Father who is intimate, loving, and full of grace. He declared the Father, embodied Him, and made Him known.
We also unpack what it means to be sons and daughters of God—not servants trying to earn favor, but heirs adopted into the family. We are co-heirs with Christ, free from the law, and empowered to serve from love, not obligation.
The parable of the prodigal son brings this truth to life. Whether you’ve wandered far or stayed close, the Father’s heart is the same: You are my child. Come home.
This episode is a powerful reminder that:
- Jesus is the exact image of the Father.
- We are adopted, accepted, and free.
- We serve not as slaves, but as sons who love their Father.
Tune in and rediscover your identity in the Father’s love.
Hallowed Be Your Name

The Disciples’ Prayer Series – Part 4
When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He didn’t just tell them to address the Father—He added “Hallowed be Your name.” This phrase is more than an acknowledgment of God’s holiness—it’s a call to action.
What Does “Hallowed” Mean?
At first glance, one might think Jesus was simply stating a fact: “Father, Your name is holy.” But holiness is an adjective—hallowed is a verb. The Greek word hagiazó means to sanctify, set apart, and consecrate. Jesus was teaching us that we have a role in honoring God’s name.
Why Acknowledge His Name as Holy?
God is not just holy—He is thrice holy. When Isaiah and John both glimpsed the throne room of heaven, they heard the seraphim crying out: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.” This repetition wasn’t redundant—it was a proclamation that one “holy” isn’t enough to describe God’s fullness. It’s been sung for thousands of years—and if we were face-to-face with Him, we’d be singing it too.
The Name Above Every Name
But what name are we setting apart? Philippians 2:9-11 tells us: “God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name—so that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow.” This isn’t about language—whether it’s Jesus, Yeshua, Lord, Adonai, Jehovah—it’s about the One who bears the name.
How Do We Hallow God’s Name?
The Bible gives us three primary ways to set His name apart:
- Do not profane His name
- To profane means to make common—to treat God’s name as ordinary instead of holy.
- This includes misusing His name, swearing falsely by it, or using it for manipulation or control.
- Praise and Worship Him
- Worship isn’t just singing—it’s recognizing God’s worth.
- True worship happens in Spirit and in Truth—not just routine actions, but a heartfelt response.
- Be Holy in Conduct
- When Peter quoted Leviticus “be holy, because I am Holy,” he explained that this means we are to “be holy in all we do.”
- As believers, we are a royal priesthood—our holiness reflects His holiness.
- We are made holy in nature by God, but holiness in conduct requires daily growth and surrender.
Holiness Is a Journey and a Destination
Being holy doesn’t mean perfection overnight—it’s a process of maturity. Jesus Himself said: “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48) The Greek word teleios means complete, mature, unfolding—like a telescope extending stage by stage until it reaches full clarity. The Apostle Paul used the same root word in 2 Corinthians 7:1 when he told us to “perfect holiness out of reverence for God.” Both Jesus and Paul, by using this word, indicate a recognition that we are going through a process of maturity to reach an end goal.
Encouragement for the Journey
- Holiness is because of salvation—not a condition for it.
- It’s about loving God more than ourselves.
- Failure isn’t falling when we try—it’s failing to try.
- God enjoys us in our weakness—He knows our frame better than we do.
To hallow His name is to live in reverence, worship, and holiness—because His name is worthy.

The Disciples’ Prayer Series – Part 3
In Heaven: Understanding God’s Position and Nature
When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He began with “Our Father in heaven.” Why that phrase? Why not just “Our Father”? The placement of “in heaven” is deliberate—it speaks to God’s exaltation, authority, and holiness, distinguishing Him from everything profane or common.
Heaven: God’s Throne and His Position as King
Scripture consistently defines heaven as God’s throne, emphasizing His position above all creation. Isaiah, David, Jesus, and even Stephen—the first Christian martyr—all affirm that God reigns from heaven. If God has a throne, then He must be King. And not just any king—He is King of Kings, the Most High, the Creator of heaven and earth.
The Paradox of God’s Nature
Here’s where things get profound: God is both transcendent and immanent. This means He is high above us yet draws near. He is incomprehensible and ineffable, yet He chooses to reveal Himself. The phrase “Our Father in heaven” captures this paradox perfectly—Father (close) / In Heaven (beyond us).
- Transcendence: God’s ways are higher than ours, His thoughts beyond our understanding.
- Immanence: Through Jesus, He dwells among us—Immanuel, God with us—and even within us.
Approaching God: Father and King
How do we approach such a God—so grand yet so personal? The Bible guides us:
- With thanksgiving and praise – Enter His courts joyfully.
- With songs of understanding – Worship that instructs and exalts.
- With humility – Honor His holiness.
- With listening hearts – Few words, open ears.
Our Position with Him
God, in His grace, has seated us with Christ in heavenly places. We are heirs of God, co-heirs with Christ, no longer slaves to sin, but victorious through Him.
And yet, does that diminish our need to worship? Absolutely not. If anything, understanding our honored position should increase our reverence for Him. Even the twenty-four elders, exalted in the heavenly vision of Revelation, cast their crowns and worship. The more we grasp God’s greatness, the more worship becomes our natural response.
The Conclusion: He is King, We are Worshipers
At the end of the day, God is King. He is exalted. He is worthy of worship. What does He ask of us? That we love Him and love others—for love fulfills all the commandments.
