Series: It Was Just A Prayer Meeting
Donald Cantrell
1 Timothy 2:1-4
Introduction:
In the early church Paul commanded Timothy to make sure the church attended to two things:
1 - Give Attendance to Public Reading of the Scriptures
1Ti 4:13 KJV - Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
2 - Pray for those in Leadership Positions
1Ti 2:1 KJV - I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men;
1Ti 2:2 KJV - For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
1Ti 2:3 KJV - For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1Ti 2:4 KJV - Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
