We continue with our series on the Lord's Prayer, in Matthew 6: 9-13. This week Andy looks at verse 10, "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be Done on Earth as it is in Heaven." When we think about what we are asking God to do here, that is a HUGE deal. What would the world look like if this happened?
The next few weeks in our Bible Study, we are going to talk about evangelism. What does evangelism mean? How do we do it? Should we do it? Tonight we are going to look at Revelation 12:11 and 1 Peter 3:15 and talk about the power of our testimony.
