Episode Synopsis

Send us a textThanks for joining us today! In today's sermon, Pastor Cherney helps us dig deep into what the last phrase of the Lord's Prayer actually means and how we feel about it:Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. If we really think about it, this may make us a little uncomfortable, because it takes away any control we have in this life. We like supporters. Cheerleaders. People who don't demand too much from us. Well, in today's reading from Daniel, Daniel writes of a vision. The Israelites were captive for 100s of years... Under the Babylonians, the Persians, then Greece and Rome were in control over them. His vision showed him someone LIKE HIM coming down on clouds. He wasn't another beast that Daniel and the people couldn't understand. It was JESUS, who was THE son of man! And his kingdom will NEVER end. So do we fret about the control that God has? No, we relish in it. WE are his kingdom. The church is not four walls and a roof, but we, his believers, whose hearts  have been conquered by his love. Daniel 7:13,1413 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
