1 Timothy 2:1-8

Our speaker during Family Bible Hour was Mr Steve Witter. His message was based on 1 Timothy 2: 1-8

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

Mr Witter continues with his theme: "As Christians we love; and because we love, our conduct counts". This love ministry, per the passage above, includes the mission of the Church:

1. We PRAY, as indicated in verses 1 and 2
2. We share the GOSPEL, as in verses 3 and 4

Mr Witter's message, in full and in context, is available on DVD. Please see Romy.
