We need to be steady and level headed in our work 1 Timothy3:2,11. B. As more and more false teachers are asked for today the true teachers of the word will suffer hardship and will be persecuted for standing up for the truth. 1. Paul spoke of suffering to Timothy in 1 Timothy 1:8; 2:3,9. C. The work of an evangelist is one that proclaims the good news of the Gospel of Christ – Acts 21:8; Ephesians 4:11.
8. All Christians have a ministry to fulfill like Timothy had. A. God has designated that all Christians be preachers and teachers of his word 1 Peter
