Thine Is The Glory

This sermon examines the doxology of the Lord's Prayer, "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever," as a vital conclusion to Christian prayer. The speaker argues that this clause serves three primary purposes: it provides holy arguments for petitions, offers profound encouragement to the believer, and fills the heart with praise for God's character. By ascribing sovereignty, omnipotence, and glory to God, the believer is reminded that prayer is directed toward an all-powerful King who acts for His own honor. The text contrasts the natural human tendency to seek self-glory with the grace-enabled response of humility and worship. Finally, the sermon calls for earnestness in prayer, urging believers to conclude their devotions with a firm affirmation of God's eternal rule and a sincere desire for His name to be exalted.
