Thy Kingdom Come (6 of 6)
Series: Amos

Amos 9:1-15
This morning, I conclude our study through the Old Testament prophecy of Amos. I have called this series Let Justice Roll.

''Thy Kingdom come'' is also a warfare prayer, a battle cry. How come everyone is not bowing before the hallowed Name of God? Because there is another kingdom, the kingdom of darkness.
