Chapter 2 opened with a core message about prayer (2:1). We saw FOUR ways the Christian is to pray:

1) Supplications - Specific prayers that implore Gods aid in a particular matter.

2) Prayer - Calling upon God in a general way for others.

3) Intercession - A technical term for approaching a king (i.e.) make a formal request for another person’s salvation.

4) Giving thanks - Thanking God IN an act of worship.

Tonight we put these instructions into action! In verses 2-6 we’re looking at using prayer for freeing people to respond to the Gospel message. It’s ongoing congregation-wide prayer for the salvation and well-being of others – including those opposed to the Church!
