It's Time For Young Men To Speak Up And Preach The Gospel! | EP 12

Just like a father or father-like figure, they are responsible for teaching their son or mentee all they know, for they have more life experience. They share pitfalls and insights on handling the ebbs and flows in life. This is what exactly Paul the Apostle did in writing 2 Timothy. Facing imminent death, Paul writes to Timothy, a young pastor in Ephesus. In this letter, Paul shares insight and empowers Timothy on how to preserve, teach, and suffer for the Gospel in the midst of false teaching and suffering.Today, we will examine 2 Timothy 2:15 as the core Scripture on how a young man can be prepared to teach the Gospel. In this Scripture reference, Paul urges Timothy to present himself to God as an approved worker who is not ashamed of the Gospel and correctly handles the truth. Testing and preparing yourself to preach while upholding integrity and pursuing a life of holiness is the call of action to prepare to preach the Gospel. Teaching/ Preaching the Word of God requires a serious moral and relational obligation where obedience and discipline are necessary. Why does that matter? Because Teachers of the law will be judged strictly (James 3:1). Also, Jesus is concerned with the form of teaching the Gospel and one's conduct (Matthew 23:1-33) - The Seven Woes of False Teachers / Pharisees. These Scriptures empower us to examine ourselves and to remain on the straight, narrow path of holiness and godliness. So, if you want to preach, consider the takeaways of this episode.
