When hearing that, what was your response? Empowered, overwhelmed, intimidated, or ______________? What is it about the role of priest/pastor that causes you to respond that way? Read 1 Timothy 2:1-4. I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
