Prayer and God's Wide Heart

1 Timothy 2:1-8 | Building a Healthy Church | Trent Hunter Timothy is a young pastor with an urgent task. He must deal with false teaching in the midst of the church which threatens to choke out her gospel life. But there’s another matter of great urgency: prayer. Timothy is to lead the church at Ephesus in prayer for specific people and for specific reasons. As we meditate on this call to prayer we find evidence of a subtle but strong current that runs through all of Paul’s letters and through this letter: the church’s gospel purity is for the sake of her gospel witness.
