Corporate Prayer, 1 Timothy 2:1-8

August 16, 2015 Leave a Comment

Prayer

Introduction

A healthy church is a praying church—in personal, small group, and corporate settings.

House Rules for the Church

  1. We need to make prayer a priority (v1a).
  2. We need to pray correctly (v1b).
    1. Supplication – we ought to approach God with desperation.
    2. Prayers – we ought to approach God with adoration.
    3. Intercessions – we ought to approach God with humility.
    4. Thanksgiving – we ought to approach God with gratitude.
  3. We need to pray for those we don’t want to pray for (v1c-2a).‬
  4. We need to see prayer as critical to our mission (v2b-7). Do we want to see people come to Christ??
  5. We need to prepare to pray (v8, Isaiah 1:15, 1 Peter 3:7, James 5:16).

Conclusion

If CH Spurgeon is right that prayer is critical to a healthy, effective church, how healthy are we?
