About this episode

Pastor Bill discusses God's inclusive love and the call to pray for all people based on 1 Timothy 2:1–7.

We Love Selectively; God Loves Graciously We are all more tribal than we think. We decide who's in and who's out, who deserves our affection and who deserves our distance — and then we assume God operates the same way. In this message, Pastor Bill walks through 1 Timothy 2:1–7 and the heart of a God who is not tribal, just holy. Three things this passage reveals: God calls us to pray for all people, His desire is for all people to be saved, and Jesus alone is the one mediator who makes that possible. You don't get to decide who is beyond God's reach — because your enemies today could be your brothers and sisters tomorrow.
