First Things First

Nov 6, 2024    Pastor Marc Williamson

In this message, "First Things First," Pastor Marc leads us through 1 Timothy 2:1-4, emphasizing the priority of prayer in the life of every believer. Reflecting on a time of political transition, Pastor Marc shares how Paul’s instructions to young Timothy serve as a powerful reminder to prioritize prayer—not only for personal needs but for all people, including leaders in authority.


With deep passion, Pastor Marc explores the “call to prayer” that Paul places before the church, urging us to place supplications, intercessions, and thanksgiving at the forefront of our spiritual lives. He breaks down the types of prayer mentioned in 1 Timothy, reminding us of the privilege and purpose of praying with compassion, empathy, and gratitude. He calls us to pray beyond our immediate circle, for the salvation of others and for peace in our communities.


Pastor Marc also discusses the critical consequences of faithful prayer: it brings about a peaceful society, strengthens believers, and aligns us with God's heart. As he explains, praying for all—including those in authority—transforms our own hearts, making us peacemakers who serve God’s purposes here on earth.

Key Verse: "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men" (1 Timothy 2:1, KJV).
