to the Ruled Church Podcast. This is my beloved son, with whom I am well pleased.

00:07

He is honored, and I get the glory. And by the way, it's even better, because you see that building in Perryville, Arkansas?

00:13

You see that one in Pechote, Mexico? Do you see that one in Tuxla, Guterres, down there in Chiapas? That building has my son's name on it.

00:21

The church is not a democracy, it's a monarchy. Christ is king. You can't be

00:26

Christian without a local church. You can't do anything better than to bend your knee and bow your heart, turn from your sin and repentance, believe on the

00:37

Lord Jesus Christ, and join up with a good Bible -believing church, and spend your life serving

00:44

Jesus in a local, visible congregation. Welcome to the

00:53

Ruled Church Podcast. Today, it's just me, Alan Nelson, co -host.

01:00

But what we thought we'd share today, we've talked before about some of our mission work in Mexico and FIRM, Fellowship of International Reform Missions.

01:12

One of the things we do is each week on Wednesdays, we have a meeting with pastors in Mexico, and we do teaching.

01:22

And so we thought in today's episode, we'd share that teaching. Not only two -fold.

01:27

One, you can kinda see why, what we do, but also I think this will help all pastors.

01:34

It's not just for pastors in Mexico, it's pastors in America, pastors all over the world. So today's teaching is from 2

01:41

Timothy 4 -5, and we're exhorting pastors about doing the work of an evangelist.

01:47

And so what you'll notice is that I'm teaching, and then that Pastor Jonathan Murdock is translating that, so you'll listen to the

01:54

English and the Spanish. It'll go back and forth. And that can be strange if you haven't ever heard that before, but it's profitable.

02:02

So listen to the teaching, hope you're benefited from it, and kinda see what we do on Wednesdays with the brothers from FIRM.

02:11

And then also hope that you're edified, encouraged, and challenged about doing the work of an evangelist.

02:17

So we'll start right off. Here we go. I wanna start with 2

02:23

Timothy 4 -5. Quiero empezar con 2 Timothy 4 -5.

02:29

And I wanna talk about the work of a pastor in evangelism. Quiero hablar del obra de pastor en evangelismo.

02:38

Jonathan, I didn't catch, I got on, but it sounds like Brother Randall was telling about his evangelism last night.

02:46

Yeah, hermano Randall estaba contando de su evangelismo ayer. Well, amen, that's a great real -time example for our study this morning.

02:55

Es un ejemplo de tiempo real por nuestro estudio esta mañana. So let's start out reading 2

03:04

Timothy 4 -5. 2 Timothy 4 -5 dice, Pero tú se sobrio en todo, soporta las aflicciones, haz obra de evangelista, cumpla tu ministerio.

03:21

Jonathan, that's one of the reasons I don't respond when people are picking on me. Ese es una de las razones que no responde cuando la gente me hace gore.

03:30

Paul says, I'm to endure suffering. Dice Pablo que debo soportar las aflicciones.

03:37

But in part of this great text, Paul tells Timothy that he is to do the work of an evangelist.

03:43

En parte de ese gran texto, Pablo dice a Timothy que debe ser el obra de evangelista. So I have some thoughts for us from this text.

03:52

Tengo un poco de pensamientos por nosotros de ese texto. So for an order for a pastor to be a faithful evangelist.

04:00

Para que un pastor sea un fiel evangelista. First I would say we need to know what an evangelist is.

04:08

Primero dirá que tenemos que saber que es un evangelista. I don't want to spend a ton of time here, but this word is used two other times in the

04:21

New Testament. Esta palabra está usada dos veces más en el Nuevo Testamento. So let's just look at those real quick.

04:28

Acts 21 .8. Lo miramos esto rápido. Hechos 21 .8? Acts 21 .8,

04:35

yeah. Dice, al otro día, saliendo

04:40

Pablo y los que con él estábamos, fuimos a

04:46

Caesarea y entrando en casa de Felipe en

04:51

Tuxtla, es broma, el evangelista que era uno de los siete, pasamos con él.

04:59

So Philip was an evangelist. Felipe era evangelista. And then of course the more popular text is

05:07

Ephesians 4 .11. Y el texto más popular es Ephesians 4 .11 que dice, y el mismo constituyó a unos apóstolos y otros profetas y otros evangelistas y a otros pastores y maestros.

05:24

We could really get bogged down this and if we have time and you have questions later, you can discuss. Podemos actuarnos mucho en esto si tenemos tiempo y tenemos preguntas después, podemos confrontarlo.

05:35

So the debate is, is an evangelist, is it an office? El debate es si todavía existe oficio de evangelista.

05:44

I think it's, I think it's seems to be true that some, at least some evangelists were apostolic assistants, as it were.

05:55

Es verdad que los evangelistas a lo menos eran asistido por apostólico, poder apostólico.

06:05

But really for our point today. Por nuestro punto hoy. I wanna talk about how this is a responsibility inherently connected to pastoral ministry.

06:16

Quiero hablar que como esta es una responsabilidad inherentemente conectado al ministerio pastoral.

06:23

The reason I say this is because it's directly connected to probably our favorite passage from 2

06:31

Timothy 4. La razón que digo esto es que es conectado directamente a nuestro pasaje tal vez preferido de 2

06:38

Timoteo. In fact, I don't know if you can see it behind me. Let's see. Do you see the Greek behind me?

06:47

Que rusan tan lagan. Yeah. El griego atrás de él dice que rusan tan lagan.

06:53

From 2 Timothy 4, preach the word. De 2 Timoteo 4, predicas la palabra.

06:59

And none of us would deny that the preaching of God's word is essential to pastoral ministry.

07:06

Ninguno de nosotros negamos que la predicación de evangelio es esencial al ministerio pastoral.

07:12

But within this same passage. Pero en medio de este mismo pasaje. And Paul tells

07:18

Timothy to do the work of an evangelist. Pablo dice a Timoteo, haz obra de evangelista.

07:24

I also wanna mention this. También quiero mencionar esto. Non -pastors can be evangelists.

07:32

Los que no son pastores pueden ser evangelistas. The confession talks about gifted men.

07:38

La confesión habla de hombres, como se dice en español, alguien sabe?

07:48

Dotados. Dotados, así es. And so the church should recognize.

07:56

La iglesia debe reconocer. Authorize and encourage. Autorizar y animar.

08:02

Other men, qualified men. Otros hombres calificados. To do the work of an evangelist.

08:09

Para hacer la obra de evangelista. But for this, we wanna emphasize the pastoral leadership necessary.

08:18

Para este queremos reconocer la liderazgo necesaria del pastor. And so in the text,

08:25

Paul doesn't say for Timothy to be an evangelist. En el texto, no dice

08:31

Pablo a Timoteo, seas evangelista. But to do the work of an evangelist.

08:38

Pero haces la obra de evangelista. And I'll talk about that more in just a minute. Hablo de esto más en un momento.

08:45

So we need to know what an evangelist is. Debemos saber que es un evangelista. And secondly, we need to know what an evangelist does.

08:54

Segundo, debemos saber que hace un evangelista. The Greek word is euangelistis.

09:00

La palabra es en griego euangelistis. There is a usage of this word outside the

09:08

New Testament. And it means one who proclaims oracles.

09:21

Oracles. Oracles. And so obviously, as we bring that word into the

09:27

New Testament, as we understand the Holy Spirit's usage of it, entendiendo el uso del

09:36

Espíritu Santo de esta palabra. I think within the word itself, there are two aspects of what an evangelist does.

09:45

There is the content.

09:55

And there is the proclamation. There is the act of communicating the gospel.

10:04

El acto de comunicar el evangelio. So first, then, the content. What it is that Timothy is to do is it's not to be a politician.

10:22

Do the work of a politician. That's not what

10:30

Paul says. No es lo que está diciendo Paul. Talk about sports. Talk about the weather.

10:43

There's a lot of good things, actually, that you could talk about. But these things are not evangelism.

10:54

You actually could help people with prudent advice about their marriages.

11:06

Managing finances. Raising children.

11:13

How to grow a good crop. And there are situations where those are good.

11:22

Y hay situaciones donde esas son buenas. And much of that falls under pastoral ministry.

11:31

But it's not doing the work of an evangelist without the content of the gospel.

11:43

Paul tells Timothy, remember Jesus Christ, Pablo dice a Timoteo, recuerda a Jesucristo.

11:49

As preached in my gospel. The descendant of David. Paul tells the

11:57

Galatians, there's only one gospel. Paul tells the

12:04

Corinthians, the gospel is of first importance. We could really belabor this point.

12:13

Podemos pegar mucho este punto. But the reality is, without communicating the gospel, you're not doing evangelism.

12:29

So a pastor may say, I like to go out in the community and invite people to church. Un pastor puede decir, a mi me gusta ir a la comunidad y invitar a la gente a la iglesia.

12:39

And okay, it's not that that's bad. That's not evangelism.

12:47

It's not doing the work of an evangelist. And then the second thing, so the content.

12:57

And then the proclamation. Y después la proclamación. So it's not evangelism without proclaiming this gospel.

13:05

In other words, I know some pastors who say, well,

13:14

I just wanna get involved in my community. And I just want to demonstrate by my life what a

13:22

Christian looks like. Y solo quiero mostrar por mi vida como veo la vida de un cristiano.

13:28

I wanna volunteer. Quiero ser voluntario. I'll help pick up trash. Ayuda a recoger basura.

13:35

I'll go pass out food or pass out meals. Voy a repartir comida o ayudar con eso.

13:44

I'll do good things in the community. Voy a hacer buenas cosas en la comunidad. People will see these things.

13:50

La gente van a ver esas cosas. And they'll become Christians. Jesus does say in the

13:57

Sermon on the Mount that by our good works, people will glorify our

14:04

Father who is in heaven. And so we don't dismiss good works.

14:15

But this is not evangelism. To do the work of an evangelism, you must have the content.

14:22

Para hacer la obra de evangelista, tienes que tener el contenido. And you must have the proclamation.

14:28

Y tienes que tener la proclamación. We see the angels in Luke 2.

14:35

Vemos los ángeles en Lucas 2. Doing the work of evangelists. Haciendo la obra de evangelistas.

14:42

We bring you good news, they say to the shepherds. Proclamamos buena noticia, dicen los pastores.

14:50

What would it have looked like if the angels just showed up? ¿Cómo se ve si los ángeles solo aparecieran?

14:59

They displayed their beauty before the shepherds. Se demostraran su hermosidad antes de los pastores.

15:07

But they didn't proclaim anything. No proclamaron nada. It wouldn't have been evangelism.

15:13

No será evangelismo. The shepherds wouldn't have known. Los pastores no reconocerán.

15:18

And Luke 2 obviously would have been completely different. Lucas 2 será muy diferente. So you have to have the content.

15:26

You have to have the gospel. Tienes que tener contenido. Tienes que tener evangelio. And you have to have the proclamation.

15:32

Tienes que tener proclamación. And let me add one more thing with this. Déjame añadir una cosa más con esto.

15:39

Within the proclamation, we are calling sinners to repent and believe the gospel. En la proclamación estamos llamando los pecadores a arrepentir y creer en el evangelio.

15:50

What I mean is, an evangelist does not merely give the facts of the gospel. ¿Qué quiere decir?

15:56

Un evangelista no solamente da los hechos de evangelio. The facts of the gospel in summation.

16:02

Los hechos de evangelio en su suma. Jesus is the Son of God. Jesús es el

16:08

Hijo de Dios. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary. Jesús fue nacido de Virgen María.

16:13

Jesus fulfilled all righteousness. Jesús cumplió toda justicia. Jesus died on the cross for sinners.

16:20

Jesús murió en la cruz por pecadores. And Jesus rose again from the grave. Y se levantó de la muerte el tercer día.

16:27

That is a small summary of the gospel. Ese es un resumen pequeño de evangelio.

16:34

But it doesn't confront sinners. Pero no confronta pecadores. And sinners need to know they must repent and believe the gospel.

16:42

Pecadores tienen que saber que deben arrepentirse y creer en el evangelio. They stand condemned under the law.

16:48

Están condenados bajo la ley. They stand condemned under the judgment of God.

16:54

Están condenados bajo la juicia de Dios. All right, let's move on. Number three. Sigamos a numero tres.

17:00

The pastor needs to understand what an evangelist is. El pastor tiene que entender que es un evangelista.

17:08

What an evangelist does. Que hace un evangelista. And he needs to understand thirdly, the intentional leadership necessary in evangelism.

17:17

Y tiene que entender el liderazgo esencial en el evangelismo. Intentional leadership.

17:25

El liderazgo intencional. There are certain things in the Christian life that we just don't fall into.

17:31

Hay varias cosas en la vida cristiana que no caemos en eso. You don't fall into just praying better.

17:38

No solo empiezas a orar mejor. It takes intention. Requiere intención.

17:45

It takes work. Requiere trabajo. Paul says here with evangelism.

17:51

Háblese aquí en el evangelismo. Do the work of an evangelist.

17:56

Hace la obra de evangelista. The Greek word, energo. La palabra en griego, energo.

18:04

And I don't know the Spanish word, brother, but in English, it's easy to hear the word energy. We get the word energy from that word.

18:12

En español es fácil entender la palabra energía.

18:18

Energo, energía. And so I know we're not, I'm not trying to read back into this word.

18:26

No estoy tratando de poner algo atrás de esa palabra. But just to illustrate here that this word that Paul is using.

18:34

Solo para mostrar la palabra que Pablo está usando. It requires activity.

18:40

Requiere actividad. It requires energy. Requiere energía.

18:46

Okay, do the work of an evangelist. Háblese la obra de evangelista.

18:52

This is not something the pastor is gonna fall into. Este no es algo que el pastor va a caer en.

18:58

It is actually something that must be kept on the forefront of our minds.

19:06

Es algo que debe ser mantenido en la frente de nuestras mentes. I recognize that some pastors have a better gifting here.

19:16

Reconozco que unos pastores están más inclinados a esto. I think the

19:22

Lord gives us sometimes certain personality traits. O están más dotadas en esto, porque el

19:29

Señor nos da diferentes personas, diferentes tratos de personalidad.

19:35

There are certain pastors who always want to be around people. Hay varios pastores que siempre quieren estar con la gente.

19:43

And they do an excellent job of communicating the gospel. Y hacen un trabajo excelente de comunicar el evangelio.

19:49

There are other pastors who, they don't want to be around people. Hay otros pastores que no quieren estar con la gente.

19:55

But, I mean, God still uses, they want to be isolated and to study. Ellos quieren estar aislados y estudiar.

20:02

But regardless what your personality trait may be.

20:08

No importando tu personalidad. Paul tells

20:13

Timothy that he must do this work. Pablo dice a Timothy que tiene que hacer este trabajo.

20:19

It takes activity. Requiere actividad. It takes energy. Requiere energía.

20:25

It takes intentionality. Requiere intención. I want to illustrate this a little further in Luke chapter 8.

20:35

Quiero mostrar esto más allá en Lucas capítulo 8. In Luke chapter 8, let me double check.

20:44

I think it's in verse 1. Luke chapter 8, verse 1. Lucas 8, versículo 1.

20:52

Wait, hold on just a second. Yeah, Luke chapter 8, verse 1.

20:58

Lucas 8, 1. Dice, Aconteció después que

21:08

Jesús iba por todas las ciudades y aldeas predicando y anunciando el evangelio del reino de

21:16

Dios y los doce con él. So this is the model of our

21:22

Lord. Ese es el modelo de nuestro Señor. Jesus was in many respects an evangelist.

21:28

Jesús en muchas maneras era evangelista. He is going through the cities and the villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom.

21:42

Proclamando y trayendo el evangelio del reino. And this passage is so familiar that we don't have to read it.

21:52

Este pasaje es tan familiar, no tenemos que leerlo. But immediately after this, he tells the parable of the sower.

21:59

Inmediatamente después de esta, cuente la parable del sembrador. And you think about how much work the sower puts in.

22:08

Y pienses de cuánto tiempo o cuánta obra, cuánto tiempo se invierte el sembrador.

22:17

How many seeds he's sowing. Cuántas semillas está sembrando. And he's laboring and laboring and laboring.

22:25

Está trabajando, trabajando, trabajando. And really, if you think about all the seed that he scatters.

22:32

En realidad, si piensas todos los semillas que él sembra. The percentage of fruit seems to be small.

22:40

La porcentaje de fruto parece pequeño. Some people are hearing the gospel and Satan immediately takes it away.

22:48

Uno se escucha el evangelio de Satanás, lo quita inmediatamente. There's two groups of people that you get excited about.

22:54

Hay dos grupos de personas que te emocionan. They hear the gospel, they seem to be responding. Escuche el evangelio, parece que están respondiendo.

23:02

One group has no root. Un grupo no tiene raíces. And persecution drives them away.

23:09

La persecución los lleva. And then the other group, the cares of the world, chokes out the gospel.

23:17

Y otro grupo, las cosas del mundo, se ahogan. But you keep laboring and laboring.

23:23

And laboring. Siguen trabajando y trabajando y trabajando. And you will feel the temptation.

23:30

Y se siente la tentación. Why am I doing this? ¿Por qué estoy haciendo esto? Why am I going to talk to this person about Christ?

23:38

¿Por qué voy a hablar con esta persona de Cristo? Why am I going to preach here on the street corner? ¿Por qué voy a predicar aquí en la esquina?

23:45

Why am I going to pass out this tract? ¿Por qué voy a repartir este proyecto? Why am

23:51

I going to visit these people in their home? ¿Por qué voy a visitar a esta gente en su hogar?

23:59

Last spring, Brother Randall came to our church. El último primavera, hermano

24:05

Randall vino a nuestra iglesia. Well, spring 2022. En 2022.

24:12

And he preached a message that has continued to stick with me. Predicó un mensaje que me sigue conmigo.

24:20

It was from Ecclesiastes 11. Era de Ecclesiastes 11. Cast your bread upon many waters.

24:26

Tire tu pan sobre muchos aguas. And he said this statement that stuck with me and I hope will stick with you.

24:33

Él dijo una frase que me quedó y espero que quede contigo también. Very simple statement.

24:38

Una frase muy simple. Sow nothing, reap nothing.

24:43

Siembres nada, cosechas nada. If you don't sow the seed.

24:50

Si no siembras la semilla. You will see no fruit. La semilla. No vas a ver fruta.

24:57

Paul says in Romans 10, faith comes by hearing. Pablo dice en Romanos 10, fe viene por oír.

25:03

Hearing by the word of God. Y oír por la palabra de Dios. And how are the people going to hear without a preacher?

25:11

¿Cómo van a escuchar sin un predicador? God has given each one of you and us.

25:16

God has given all of us. Dios nos ha dado todos. To our cities. A nuestras ciudades.

25:23

To our towns. A nuestros pueblos. To our villages. A nuestras comunidades.

25:30

I often say this when I'm preaching in Perryville. Muy frecuentemente digo esto cuando estoy predicando en

25:38

Perryville. How much must God love Perryville? ¿Cuánto Dios tiene que amar

25:43

Perryville? To send the gospel. A mandar el evangelio. The gospel is here in Perryville.

25:50

El evangelio está aquí en Perryville. It's being proclaimed. Está siendo proclamado.

25:56

It's being shared. Está siendo compartido. The gospel is in Pochote, and Cordova, and Tuxla, and Tabasco, on and on and on.

26:07

El evangelio está en Pochote, Cordova, Tuxla, y Tabasco, y sigue, y sigue, y sigue.

26:13

God has given your church. Dios ha dado tu iglesia. In your city, in your area.

26:21

En tu ciudad, en tu área. In part to do this work. En parte a hacer esta obra.

26:28

To proclaim this message. A proclamar este mensaje.

26:33

And then you remember in the parable of the sower. Y recuerdas en la parable del sembrador.

26:40

There will be those who receive the gospel. Que van a recibir evangelio.

26:47

By the grace of God. Por la gracia de Dios. You remember God telling Paul, I have many people in this city.

26:54

Recuerdas Dios diciendo a Pablo, tengo mucha gente en esta ciudad. And two things keep me focused on evangelism in Perryville.

27:02

Dos cosas me mantienen enfocado en evangelismo aquí en Perryville. One, if not a single soul comes to Christ.

27:12

Christ is worthy to be proclaimed. His gospel is worthy to be preached.

27:22

That's my first and primary motivation. But the second

27:27

I think is important. I just have to believe that God has people in this city.

27:36

Dios tiene gente en esta ciudad. And by the preaching of the gospel, he's going to call them to his son.

27:42

Y por la predicación de evangelio va a llamarlos a su hija. He's going to forgive them of their sins.

27:48

Va a perdonarlos de sus pecados. And he's going to save them from his wrath to come.

27:53

Y va a salvarlos de su vida a venir. But as a pastor, if I'm not intentional in this.

27:59

Pero como pastor, si no soy intencional en esto. Neither will the church be.

28:05

Tampoco la iglesia será. It's very rare to have people in the church. Es muy raro tener gente en la iglesia.

28:12

Excited about evangelism. Animado de evangelismo. When the pastor is not leading from the front.

28:19

Cuando el pastor no está guiando desde el frente. What that looks like.

28:25

Como se ve eso. Is preaching about evangelism. Predicando sobre evangelismo.

28:31

When it comes up in the text. Cuando viene en el texto. Emphasize it, preach evangelism.

28:38

Empatizarlo, predicarse evangelio. Praying for lost people in your community.

28:45

Corrando por gente perdida en tu comunidad. But also actually doing evangelism.

28:52

Pero también haciendo evangelismo. And taking your people with you door to door. Llevando a la gente contigo puerta a puerta.

29:00

Taking your people with you to events like Brother Randall goes to. Haciendo, llevando a la gente a eventos como

29:07

Va a Irmán Randall. Taking your people to see you preach on the street.

29:14

Llevando a tu gente a verte predicar en la calle. This also helps them. We have some brothers in our church who are not preachers.

29:22

Hay gente en nuestra iglesia que no son predicadores. But they go with us. Pero van con nosotros.

29:28

They support us. Nos apoyan. They hold up signs. Mantienen, garan litreras.

29:36

They pass out tracts. Reparten folletos. And they're excited about evangelism.

29:42

Están emocionados de evangelismo. Because they see their pastors excited about evangelism.

29:47

Ven sus pastores animados de evangelismo. The fourth thing,

29:52

I'll just make a real brief comment. La cuatro cosa que, solo quiero hacer un comentario breve.

29:59

And that is, we don't need to just do the work of an evangelist.

30:05

Y eso es que no solamente debemos hacer la obra de evangelista. We need to be willing to train others.

30:12

Debemos estar puestos a entrenar otros. So in 2 Timothy 2.

30:17

En 2 Timothy 2. Verse 2. 2 Timothy 2, 2 dice.

30:24

Lo que has oído de mí ante muchos testigos, esto encarga a hombres fieles que sean idóneas para enseñar también a otros.

30:37

If Timothy is to teach others what Paul has taught him.

30:42

Si Timoteo debe enseñar a otros lo que Pablo enseñó a él. This includes the work of evangelism.

30:49

Esto incluye la obra de evangelismo. Sometimes as a pastor, you need to be okay with your people doing evangelism.

30:59

A veces como pastor, debes estar bien que tu gente hace evangelismo. While you have to attend to another pressing manner of ministry.

31:08

Mientras tú tienes que atender a otra cosa del ministerio. If you, do you remember what

31:14

Moses' father -in -law told him? ¿Recuerdas lo que el suegro de

31:19

Moises le dijo? You're doing all this all day, judging the people.

31:25

Estás haciendo esto todo el día, juzgando a la gente. You're going to wear yourself out. Vas a cansarte.

31:31

So part of your responsibility is not only to lead from the front in evangelism.

31:36

Parte de tu responsabilidad no solamente es lidiar de enfrente en evangelismo.

31:43

But also to train other men in your church to do evangelism.

31:48

Pero entrenar otros hombres en tu iglesia para hacer evangelismo. And there will be times, and you shouldn't feel bad about it, there will be times they go and do evangelism.

31:57

Y será tiempo que ellos vayan a hacer evangelismo. And you're doing something else. Y tú estás haciendo otra cosa.

32:04

And that's okay. Y está bien. Jonathan, what I'd like to do, maybe we'll stop there and have questions, comments, and then maybe just address these two other things about missions.

32:17
