Your Kingdom Come

Kingdom expectation was the value I felt was least represented in my own repertoire. The words, "Waiting in Expectancy" from "Holy Fire"(1) have always stirred me, so I decided to write in that direction.

"Do I personally expect that God will, in the midst of this time, meet with His people: that He will interact with us; that he will respond to us; that we will, in this moment, be drawn to Him by His Holy Spirit, active and moving in our midst."(2) And do I expect that He will change hearts?(3)

My goal was to create something that would allow for the congregation to join together and express this expectation--this "gathering of our energies to hope in such a way that our desires and actions become involved."(4)
