Thy Will Be Done - Matt 6:10, Lexington, 07/11/04

Summary

The sermon explores the third petition of the Lord's Prayer, "Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven," emphasizing the importance of submitting to God's will with a humble and obedient heart. It distinguishes between God's decreed will, which is sovereign and unchangeable, and His desired will, which calls for believers' obedience and sanctification. The preacher highlights Jesus' own submission to the Father's will as the ultimate example and encourages believers to seek joyful obedience despite the ongoing struggle between the flesh and the spirit. The sermon also affirms the reality of spiritual warfare and the role of angels and demons in God's sovereign plan.
