“Our Worldwide Mission” (1 Timothy 2:1–7)

^{Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Wednesday PM/February 11, 2015}

 

1 Timothy 2:1–7 (NIV)

2 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—² for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. ³ This is good, and pleases God our Savior, ⁴ who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. ⁵ For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, ⁶ who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. ⁷ And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.

 

1.       We must enlarge the focus of our prayer life (vv. 1–2).

 

2.      We must expand the scope of our mission (v. 7).

 

3.      Because it is God’s purpose to redeem a people to himself from every people group on this earth (vv. 3–6).

 

Main Idea: We must enlarge the focus of our prayer life and we must expand the scope of our mission, because it is God’s purpose to redeem a people to himself from every people group on this earth.
