1 Timothy 2:1-15

What is your Passion?

Four Passions

1. Passion for Prayer

1 Timothy 2:1-2

Pray for our leaders.

Pray for all people/everyone.

Prayer as our first priority helps us remember who is really in charge.

2. Passion for the Lost

1 Timothy 2:3-4

2 Peter 3:9

God has a passion for lost people.

1 Timothy 2:5-7

3. Passion for unity

1 Timothy 2:8

The church in Ephesus was struggling with division.

Matthew 5:23-24

John Wesley said, "Though we cannot think alike may we not love alike?"

4. A Passion for Character

1 Timothy 1:9-14

Paul emphasizes Modesty, Self Control and Good Works.

1 Timothy 2:11

“Quiet” = does not mean complete silence,

The fact that Paul was commanding women to learn — to become disciples was countercultural.

1 Timothy 2:12-15
