  1. A Study Of 1st Timothy Lesson #3 1 Timothy 2:1-8

  2. The Priority Of Prayer (2:1) • Even for Hymenaeus & Alexander • 1 John 5:16-17 – If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, & He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that. 17 All unrighteousness is sin, & there is sin not leading to death. (Sins of ignorance: Lev 5:14-20; Sins of presumption: Num 15:30-31; Simon the Sorcerer: Acts 8:14-25)

  3. The Priority Of Prayer (2:1) • “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, & giving of thanks be made for all men” • In the Apostles’ work (Acts 4:22-23; 6:1-4) • It takes preparation (Mic 3:4; 1 Pet 3:12; Matt 5:23-24; Mark 11:25-26)

  4. The Variety Of Prayer (2:1) • “Supplication” request for a personal need • “Prayers” the sacred act of addressing God • “Intercessions”  draw near & converse confidently • “Giving of thanks”  expressions of gratitude • David (Psa 26:6-8; 69:29-33; 95:1-7) • God’s peace flows to His children who are thankful (Phil 4:6; 1 Thess 5:18)

  5. The Objects Of Prayer (2:2) • “for kings & all who are in authority, • [For this result] • that we may leada quiet & peaceable life in all godliness & reverence.”

  6. The Reasons For Prayer (2:3-4) • “For this is good[beautiful, pleasing] & acceptable[agreeable] in the sight of God our Savior, • 4 who [God] desires all men to be saved [not w/out exception - w/out distinction] & to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

  7. The Basis For Prayer (2:5-6) • “For there is one God & one Mediator[go-between, a medium of communication, an arbitrator, a reconciler] between God & men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself a ransom [a price paid to free a slave] for all, to be testified in due time… • Jesus intercedes too (Heb 7:25): to go to or meet a person for the purpose of conversation, consultation, or supplication (Thayer).

  8. The Attitude In Prayer (2:7-8) • “for which I was appointed a preacher & an apostle — I am speaking the truth in Christ & not lying — a teacher of the Gentiles in faith & truth. 8 I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands [clean, blameless in regard to sin], without wrath [violent passion: Christians must be on good terms with each another] & doubting [disputing, debating, arguing]

  9. Prayer Preparation Will Make Our Prayers Effective (God takes note of our interest in addressing Him properly.)
