Sermons on the Heidelberg Catechism
Sermon #59 "The Second Petition of the Lord's Prayer"
Lord’s Day 48—Question and Answer #123.
In this sermon, we will begin to see why Christ instructed us in the Lord’s Prayer to pray not only for the
hallowing of God’s name, but to pray for the coming of God’s kingdom; as seen in these headings:
1. A Petition for Submission to the Father’s Will.
2. A Petition for the Prosperity o f the Father’s Church.
3. A Petition for the Perfection of the Father’s Kingdom.
