I Timothy 2:1-4
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.

Lift Up – 2:1-2a

  • People
  • Kings
  • Authority
  • Someone once said, “The Devil trembles, when he sees the weakest Christian on his knees.”

Live Right – 2:2b

  • Godly
  • Holy
  • Pleasing

 Isaiah 33:22 – “For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.”

Proverbs 14:34 – “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.”

Let others Know – 2:3-4

  • Share because He cares

Matthew 5:16 – “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

Psalm 33:12 – “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord:” When our nation, including those who call themselves Christians, cease to look to God … we cease to be blessed by God.
