The Power of Prayer in Political Times | Pastor Ben Dixon

Every generation has experienced some sort of tension around political issues and there is no doubt that we are currently experiencing this in our times as well. Christians debate over how much and what kind of political engagement we ought to have as we follow Jesus and His Word faithfully. In the midst of answering the, “what do we do about this” question, we must reflect on the role of prayer as a means to influence political outcomes that allow for the mission of Jesus to flourish. Some people think that prayer is a passive cop-out in the face of political tension but what does the Bible say about this? What should the prayerful posture of the Church look like as we engage political realities in our current times? In our passage today, we will explore the truths that the Apostle Paul told Timothy who was facing difficult situations as he pastored the church in the city of Ephesus.
