This week on Getting in the Word, Pastor Stuart is teaching from 1 Timothy 2:1–7 in a message entitled, “Before Anything Else.” When problems arise, prayer can easily become our last resort, but Paul places it at the forefront of the church’s responsibility. As we examine the priority, purpose, and provision of prayer, we will see why believers are called to pray for all people, why God’s saving concern should shape our own, and why Jesus Christ is the one Mediator between God and man. And so open your Bibles and let us begin getting in the Word.
