Come pray!

What is our role in the world as Christians?

We participate in God's work in this world in various ways, but the two things we need to be engaged in that are highlighted in the Scriptures are prayer and witness. This Friday we'll focus on the first...

First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanks be offered on behalf of all people,

even for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.

Such prayer for all is good and welcomed before God our Savior, since he wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one intermediary between God and humanity, Christ Jesus, himself human, who gave himself as a ransom for all, revealing God’s purpose at his appointed time. (1Tim2:1-5)
