In this message from 1 Timothy 2:1–7, we explore why prayer must be the foundation of gospel advancement. Paul urges believers to pray for everyone—including leaders and those who may oppose us—because God desires for all people to come to the knowledge of the truth. Through prayer, God opens hearts and creates opportunities for the gospel to take root. As followers of Christ, we are called to pray faithfully and be willing to step out and share the hope of Jesus with others.
