Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1–7
Main Point. We pray that all people be saved through Christ, who gave His life as a ransom and is the only Mediator between God and man. Driving Question. Why do we pray for all people when we come together for worship? 1. Because the Church can live a peaceful and godly life (1–2) Application. How are we doing in this as a church? Are you taking advantage of God’s common grace as you live in a free society? Notice the order of importance: worship God through prayer, then disciple/evangelize. Our lives are to be godly and dignified (2). 2. Because these prayers please God (3) 3. Because God desires all people to be saved and know the truth (4) Application. Rest in the loving heart of God who desires all men to be saved. Rest assured that every type of man will be saved, but don’t rest from telling every man. Do you struggle with wanting certain sinners, or types of sinners, to be saved? 4. Because Jesus Died as a Ransom For All (5–6) Application. We pray for people to know and trust this One Mediator. Responses. The Church is to worship God our Savior and Christ our Mediator. The Church is to pray with purpose that is aligned with our God.
