PEOPLE NEED THE LORD

FIRST OF ALL

The Apostle Paul writes to Timothy and gives him some very important wisdom and instruction for ministry. (1Tim. 2:1-3)

FIRST of all, not SECOND of all, not LAST of all, and certainly not NOT at all - Intercession be made for all men that they might be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth!

God is looking for intercessors to stand in the gap for others and wonders (is appalled and stunned) that He finds none. (Isaiah 59-1016; Ezekiel 22:30)

Jesus is at the right hand of God and ever lives to make intercession for us. We should take our seat in heavenly places in Christ and co-labor with Him in the ministry of intercession for others.

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION:

1. Was intercession on your daily "first of all" to-do list? How about now?

2. Describe how intercessory prayer is different than other types of prayer.

3. Why does God not always answer intercessory prayers?

4. What is the difference between sympathy and empathy?

5. What is the common trait of sociopaths, psychopaths, and narcissists?

6. What verses stood out to you most in the song: People Need the Lord?

Looking forward to our discussion!

In His Service,
