Summary
Almighty God, grant to your church your Holy Spirit in the wisdom that comes down from above, that your Word may not be bound but have free course and be preached to the joy and edifying of Christ, Holy people, that instead fast faith we may serve you and in the confession of your name abide until the end through Jesus Christ our Lord. So by the grace of God we want to live the righteous life we're not going to be known by the world the world there's immediate conflict in that because of the ways of the world and the ways of God. Let's go to Luke the 14th chapter, Matthew, Mark, and then Luke, Luke chapter 14, verse 13, Luke 14, verse 13. God makes us, as people, we are his bride, we are married to Christ, the imagery here of a chosen people given with purpose to proclaim the Lord Jesus Christ. That is why the church, the bride of Christ, we who are married to Christ, this royal priesthood that He has made us with great purpose, that is why the church cries out and says, come Lord Jesus. So when Jesus says in verse 26, he says, the kingdom of God, the reign and rule in the heart where you become a citizen by faith, the kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the ground.
