Until then, believers can, through their faith in God,
live under God’s reign, because the kingdom takes shape everywhere that people
allow the action of Jesus Christ-which is the action of God-who-reigns-to take
place through them. To Act According to the Gospel by Xanier Leon Dufour

Scripture
The Lord says to my lord:
“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.”
The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion,
saying,
“Rule in the midst of your enemies!”
Your troops will be willing
on your day of battle.
Arrayed in holy splendor,
your young men will come to you
like dew from the morning’s womb.
The Lord has sworn
and will not change his mind:
“You are a priest forever,
in the order of Melchizedek.”
The Lord is at your right hand[c];
he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.
He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead
and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.
He will drink from a brook along the way,
and so he will lift his head high. Psalms 110 NIV
Song
He Reigns
Newsboys
It's the song of the redeemed
Rising from the African plain
It's the song of the forgiven
Drowning out the Amazon rain
The song of Asian believers
Filled with God's holy fire
It's every tribe, every tongue, every nation
A love song born of a grateful choir
It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
Let it rise about the four winds
Caught up in the heavenly sound
Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals
To the faithful gathered UNDER GROUND
Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation
Some were meant to persist
Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples
None rings truer than this
It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
And all the powers of darkness
Tremble at what they've just heard
Cause all the powers of darkness
Can't drown out a single word
When all God's children sing out
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
All God's people singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
Sentence
Prayer
Stay Awake!
Happy are those servants who are alert and ready
When their master comes.
When much is given, more will be demanded.
When a great deal is given on trust,
A great deal more is expected.
Stay Awake!
Your master is coming.
Stand Ready!
The Son of Man comes at the least expected hour.
The kingdom of God is upon us.
Why are you sleeping?
Jesus said.
Rise and pray, that you may be spared the test.” Amen
(The New Zealand Prayer Book 135,136)
