Summary of Evangelism
They bring the good tidings of the gospel of Jesus
They speak the utterances of God (I Pet. 4:11)
Itinerant – not the pastor-teacher
Have a passion for the lost
Usually think YOU should be on a missions trip
Teach others how to witness more effectivelySlide7
Believer’s responsibility
Acts 1:8 All believers have the power of the Holy Spirit to give the gospel to others
Acts 8:1-4 Those scattered, preached the Word
Matt. 28:16-20 Command for all believers
John 16:7-11 The Spirit is in believers and convicts the world of sin
I Thess. 1:5-8 Their faith became known everywhere by their words, but also by their reputation; their livesSlide8
Pastor-Teacher
“Pastor” –
poimen
– a shepherd, one who tends herds or flocks (not merely feeds them). Total care
“Teacher” –
didaskalos
– instructors, teachers of the truth in the churches.
John 10:1-16 Jesus shows selfless care for the sheep
John 21:15-17 First “tend/feed” the sheep
Then: “
poimaino
” shepherd the sheep. ALL that a shepherd does concerning his sheep
Then back to tend and feed in verse 17, giving them the Word of GodSlide9
Summary of Pastor-Teacher
A speaking gift, so they are to speak the Word of God
All do not have this gift
They equip the saints for the work of service
They not only teach the Word, but guard or protect from false teaching and guide their flock by example
Elder or Overseer
I Pet. 5:1-4 Not greedy for money, but eager to serve
Not lording over the flock, but being an example
I Tim. 3:1-7 Must be able to teachSlide10
Jeremiah and Ezekiel
Jer. 17:6 Spoke God’s warning to the people
Jer. 2:8 Warning: Those who handle the Law DID NOT KNOW ME
Jer. 3:15 God will give Israel shepherds after His own heart who will feed them on knowledge and understanding (future)
Ez. 34 These were shepherds that only cared about themselves, not for the peopleSlide11
Review
Apostles: Go out with the message and build churches
Prophets: Explain and apply the message brought by the apostle
Evangelists: bring in the lost and speak in such a way that people are convicted of their sin and see their need for a savior by way of God’s Word.
Pastor-Teacher: Shepherds the body of Christ by feeding them and equipping them for the work of service in the body, growing them up.
