Prayer: Focusing on Others (continued)

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Prayer – 4 – Focusing on Others Introduction: Alright, we are talking about prayer and how prayer is meant to align our will with God’s will. Last week we talked about the calling on our life to pray for others and how we need to pray for others! It does us good to pray for others because it helps us to be more like Christ when we focus on others rather than focusing on ourselves. Today we are compounding on last week’s message. We used 1 Timothy 2:1-4 and we are going to use that verse again, but we are going to focus on a different part of that passage. Scripture: – 1 Timothy 2:1-4 Points: 1. Who are you praying for? – Proverbs 28:2 2. How thankful are you for them?  – Romans 13:1-2 3. How much do you want it? Ending: Wouldn’t it be so much better as Christians if we weren’t always trying to find that one candidate who is going to represent all the Christianity stands for! How much better would it be if everyone was saved! How much better and easier would it be if every candidate was a born again Christian? How awesome would it be if God radically saved the person in office so that every time they spoke on tv instead of offending people, they presented the Gospel to the world. The only way that is going to happen is if Christians do their jobs and pray for everyone. The people around us, the people in leadership; everyone! – Colossians 1:15-16 If you would like to watch our past services, you can do so here: https://www.gcwesleyan.org/teaching/ Like and subscribe to our new YouTube channel, Graham Chapel Youth!
