As Paul mentors and gives instructions to Timothy, he stresses the importance of God’s people worshipping together. God wants to have a conversation with His people. Today’s message helps to see how prayer, in all its forms, is pleasing to God. God wants all people to be saved, and this is only accomplished through the mediator, Jesus Christ. He alone gives us direct access to God when we worship and pray, enabling us to know His Father as our Father, too.
