Thank you so much Rosalind All right, so everyone doing okay? I Know there's a lot of courses and a lot of learning whether I trust that it's been a blessing okay, so let's pick up from where we left last week last week we looked at chapter 2 and Chapter 2 we talked about the evangelist and how Jesus was Was and is the best example of The evangelist so we looked at seven important points one was he was empowered by the Holy Spirit He the audience was always the poor the lost the sinners the message was repentance His method again was through signs wonders and miracles. We see that he traveled to places the Lord Jesus also You know encountered challenges demonic oppressions demonic encounters unbelief and so We as you know as believers even as we minister to people You know, it's nice when we don't find challenges in front of us, but if there are challenges Right, we are to you know trust God because even the Lord Jesus himself had challenges, right? So he's the best example that we can follow and finally we saw support not only that Jesus received support, but he also you know, blessed other people to go and do the ministry and We as believers was model our life You know from the Lord Jesus Christ. Why? because people Yes, there are wonderful ministers of God and the Lord has really anointed and blessed many of them wonderful ministries But Jesus is our best example, right and when we look to Jesus That's when we can you know, we know that okay. We are on the right page. We're on the right way and Not only in this, you know what we are learning but in everything of our life. We are to model the Lord Jesus Christ, okay? so any questions from What we studied last week You have any questions Please feel free to ask or you can even post your questions on the chat and We'll take some time to answer them right Okay, so shall we move into chapter 3 Now let's look at the evangelist in the early church Right, so we looked firstly about the 5-fold ministry The evangelist is Like, you know a part of the 5-fold ministry and it is a this from God Secondly, we looked at how Jesus is the best example Oh, and so what happened now? Jesus left the example after that did evangelism stop or did the evangelists That we talk about have they stopped or are they still functioning now? So let's look at the early church, right? The evangelist in the early church now We must consider three Greek words now. It's not necessary that you should know these Greek words by heart, but This is just help us get a good understanding, right? So in your notes three Greek words Eugalian which is a noun Which means a bearer of good tidings now? This is mentioned about 50 times in the New Testament, right? Not sure if I'm getting the pronunciation, right, but it's again Galian, right? It's a noun and Which means a bearer of good tidings So in the in the New Testament when we read it the in the Greek 50 times There are there's this mention of a bearer of good tidings Right now the second Greek word is Igaliso, which is a verb which is used against 77 times in the New Testament and what does this mean? It means to preach the gospel All right, so look at these two words right both words first one means a bearer of good tidings right, you know in in in During the Old Testament or even during those ancient times what used to happen was You know I was reading all this whole thing When you know the psalmist writes about beautiful feet And it's a really interesting That during those days They would be these servants or these you know people who will their only job was to deliver messages right, so they would move from one city to another and It was probably a rough walk They probably had to go through difficult places And if the person carrying the message Carried a good message a positive message an encouraging message They would call that person He you know they would say he has beautiful feet right But when you look at the feet, it's all worn out and you know with blisters probably because of the you know Road that was traveled during those times So what am I trying to get up? When you and I it says here you gillian a bearer of good tidings When we bear good message when we bear the message of the gospel We have beautiful feet Now picture this you think the Lord Jesus had beautiful feet I Don't think so I don't think Jesus had beautiful feet why because he would have walked on those Palestinian roads full of dust Remember he's man right so He would have you know had difficult time walking most of the time we see him he was walking and Probably his feet were all sown and blistered and bruised But he was a bearer of glad tidings He had beautiful feet, so it's not about the physical It's that's what the psalmist is writing right beautiful are the feet that bring the gospel This is what it means because we are bearers of good tidings right and The second one was you Gillesio, which is to preach the gospel Now a bearer of good tidings. It's not only about a positive message Right Remember nowadays we live in a day and age when people you know Paul writes and he says there'll come a time when people will want to hear Messages that tickle their own years Right, they don't want to hear about sin about repentance about the cross about heaven about hell Just give us a good message right give us a You know a positive message now there's nothing wrong in being positive but if we talk about You know only positivity Anybody can talk about that Right, if you look at the world and you look at these wonderful speakers All of us can talk about positivity. I mean they they have a lot of you know They put in their own example life examples be positive which is encouraging But remember if it's not the gospel if it's not the word of God You remember what we talked about in Romans 116 the message of the gospel is Powerful right it is the gospel. It is the word of God that transforms a person's heart So these positive talks Right is it's good, but it's not going to you know make a change It's not going to you know impact a person's life because it's only the Holy Spirit who can do that Yes, of course, there'll be some level of impact like Maybe some people get encouraged and say hey, you know this person did all of this through all these failures He or she was positive and I want to be like yeah That that that could be there, but We don't see a real change Because when we preach the gospel, it is a power of God unto salvation. There's no salvation in a positive message Right, so I hope you're getting what I'm saying You know many times we go to colleges and We we talk to students. It's you know people from different faiths We we try not to end with a positive message because they can get it from anywhere Right, even if we give a positive message the point is the gospel Needs to be preached even if it's just two minutes, you know, we're all sinners and You know, this is what Jesus did for us and Jesus has died for us. Now we can live just two minutes We can do it and that is what? Reaching the gospel is Right Now why are these two words here? These two Greek words bearer of good tidings and a person who preaches the gospel because this is The purpose and the ministry of the evangelist The evangelist is main purpose is that he preaches the gospel and He wins souls for the kingdom of God Right, that's the main main Ministry and the main purpose of an evangelist a couple of days back I met Person and he was in the ministry and he is in the ministry and as I was talking to him He you know one of the things we were just going on talking and he said he was an evangelist And and so I began to talk to him even more And I said, okay, so how do you evangelize, you know, tell me give me some, you know And the day and age like this Things have changed. So what do you do and and so he said something Which really struck my mind and he said that nowadays I don't go out and Minister to people but only if you know people call me I go I preach and I come back Then I said, okay, so what about? Healings and miracles. Yeah, they do happen at times but then if you look at You know this the gospel if you look at what Jesus is telling us he tells us That the ministry of the evangelist is to preach the gospel to people Meaning we wherever we are whatever we are doing. It's not that we should be on a stage to preach the gospel The characteristic of an evangelist we saw that right The Lord Jesus when he met the Samaritan woman, he didn't say okay wait come to the mountain There there'll be ten thousand odd people and there I will minister to you He didn't say that He did what he had to do. He he didn't say to those who wanted healing Say hey, you come for the healing crew say that's happening on The second mountain and then we'll meet there. No It was then and there and so I felt that you know, there are they've come into a time when people are Losing the essence of being an evangelist Right. It's it's come to a point where you know, you say hey, I travel to a place You know, I look around One day is to travel to see the how beautiful the place is and the second day is to go on the stage preach You know, just you know, share a couple of messages And then the third day travel back ministry is done That's not what it is all about Right. It is it is more than that Right, and we look at a few examples also in the New Testament, right now the third word is you good You go list this which means the title of the evangelist, right? The word evangelist is used three times in the New Testament. That's interesting, right? It's used only three times And this is like I think one of the most important Aspects of the gospel that is to evangelize to reach out, but it's used only three times Let's look at those three times where it's where this word the title evangelist is mentioned, right? Acts chapter 21 and verse 8. Yes, can anyone please read Acts 21 and verse 8 Acts 21 verse 8. Yes, anyone can read please Living the next day we read Right, so we see there the title is being used Philip the evangelist now If we if we study the book of You know of the life of Philip It's very interesting. Yeah, and you see in the New Testament because he's not in one place And we look at it a little bit later on as well, he's never in one place He's always moving about and there's as this there's this urge of reaching out to people Right and so there's the first time in the Bible Philip the evangelist that the title has come out there, right? Next one is Ephesians 411 and we know this right? This is the five-fold ministry Paul is writing to the church and he's saying okay This is the ministry of the five-fold ministry of the Holy Spirit Apostle prophet the evangelist the pastor and the teacher So he's mentioning there the title of evangelist. Let's read 2nd Timothy chapter 4 and verse 5 2nd Timothy 4 and 5 2nd Timothy chapter 4 verse 5 But do you keep your head in all situations in your hardship? Do the work of an evangelist discharge all the duties of your ministry? Right now let me ask you a question Paul is writing 2nd Timothy chapter 4. He's writing the letter the epistle of Timothy. This is a second letter where is Timothy Come on answer this any any one of you everyone should know this Where is Timothy? Can type your answers you can unmute an answer Where is Timothy? During this time Yes, I think he's in I think he's in Ephesus. Yes, that's that's correct Loubega. So what is he doing in Ephesus? He's pastor in the church Yeah, thank you so much Isaac right. Thank you Loubega and Isaac. Yes, that's perfect. He's in Ephesus and He's pastoring the church in Ephesus Now the Apostle Paul himself commissioned Timothy and said go you be here you pastor the church, right? Now why is Paul writing this? He's saying Paul is telling Timothy to do the soul-winning ministry of the evangelist Right now before this Paul is written Ephesians Yes, he's written Ephesians much before this Right the letter to the Ephesians and he's telling them, okay, there's five-fold ministry, but here he's saying Paul you are the sorry Timothy you are the pastor of the church, but do the work of the evangelist also That is what? Winning souls for the kingdom of God so you see The Apostle Paul is not restricting Timothy and saying Timothy you're a pastor. So you raise up, you know bishops and leaders and You know volunteers and all of that and use them as evangelists you sit in the church We don't see that happening Right, so you see that the ministry gifts can co-function like what we learned in chapter 2 They co-function together they blend with each other Right and we'll also talk about the ministry of the teacher and the pastor going forward I will see that even there you will have the mention of the evangelist you will have the mention of You know what learning about the teacher you let the mention of the pastor So you see there's this there's this correlation It's beautiful Paul is writing to Timothy who's a pastor of the church and says Timothy this is my last letter I'm going to die now, but what you do is do the soul-winning work of the evangelist Isn't that very interesting Right, so so we see that Timothy also Did the ministry of the evangelist and likewise they would have been many many many others We know that in in the church in Antioch They raised up many many You know leaders very fast The church of Jerusalem had about 12,000 odd people already and Church in Antioch is growing Thousands of people are coming so Paul and Barnabas come there to look after the church in Antioch and by the time They went there they were already prophets and already evangelists and everything was going on there Right, so I'm sure that you know maybe they're not mentioned in the New Testament But there would have been hundreds of people who are doing the ministry of the evangelist Right now This should you know really when I was reading this it really struck my mind that we are not to Excluse ourselves in the ministry Right, we are never to do that We can't say hey, I'm only a worship leader So I am good at that. So I will do only that And remember God can take you out of your comfort zone I We should be willing to get out of our comfort zone I remember, you know, there was My time many many years ago. We were teaching I was teaching about evangelism and One of the students right this was during those times when we were you know only face-to-face and there was no online and all of it And so it's teaching and the student was very shy He just wouldn't talk Right, so we used to have role plays right so I would be like somebody who's receiving the gospel and At one one of the instances I'll be You know very kind another instance. I'll be you know kind of stern So we would do these role plays but this boy said you know He came up to me said pastor, please don't call me because I'm very scared. I can't do this I don't think God has called me for this But I told him that hey, why don't you try you just try it? This is a classroom. Nobody's going to you know laugh at you. No, we're all learning together So he said give me two more days next week. I'll do it two three days once I said, okay but he came the next week and Out of all of them he did a beautiful job of You know just giving a defense for the gospel. He did wonderfully and By the time he had graduated You know what he was used to do he used to go out in the in his lunch breaks Have his lunch and he would take those, you know We had those pamphlets called what can wash away my sins and no one but Jesus and all these pamphlets So he would go and he was stand in the street corner where Bible college was and he would give out invites There was And he was called to be a worship leader that he wanted to be a worship leader, but all of a sudden there was this Change in his heart God took him from this place of being uncomfortable and This took him out of this comfort zone and put him there now. He's a wonderful Wonderful powerful Evans is but he's known as a worship leader, right? but he Whenever he gets an opportunity, he says the gospel right, so Never exclude yourself in the ministry Never tell God I can't do this Right. Say God if you want me to do it help me to prepare Prepare me teach me And of course God will give you the time and he will give you the ability the patients And how to deal with it But never say God I can't do right now as believers. We shouldn't do that be open to God's work Right, so let's go to the next point Let's look at the ministry of the disciples of Jesus now The disciples have seen Jesus Right now they've seen that Jesus has gone to many places Minister to many people and they've seen right. It's not like Jesus was sitting under the sycamore tree just enjoying himself No, he was you know involved moving about in the in the ministry, right? so Here's an important thing that we can learn from the disciples of Jesus did he carry at 4th There are a couple of verses there. Let's try and read all those verses Like Mark chapter 3 was 14 and 15 and Maybe one of us can open to Luke chapter 9 1 to 6 Right, let's read those verses Mark chapter 3 worth 14 and 15 then he appointed 12 That they might be with him that he might send them out to preach and to have power to heal sickness and to cast out demons Right, thank you and the next was Luke chapter 9 verse 1 to 6 Luke chapter 9 verses 1 to 6 When Jesus had called the 12 together He gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and your diseases And he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and heal the sick He told them take nothing for the journey. No stuff. No bag. No bread. No money. No extra tunic whatever house Whatever house you enter stay there until you leave that town if people don't welcome you You shake the dust of your feet when you leave the town as a testimony against them So said so they set out and went from village to village preaching the gospel and healing people were everywhere Thank you, thank you said let's go to the next one Luke 10 verse 1 8 and 9 Luke chapter 10 Luke chapter 10 verse 1 After these things the Lord appointed 70 others also and send them two by two before his face Into every city and place where he himself was about to go Verse 8 Whatever city you enter and they receive you each such things as are set before you and Heal the sick there and say to them the kingdom of God has come near to you Verse 17 Then the 70 returned with joy saying Lord even the demons are subject to us in your name And he said to them I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven Behold I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you Amen. Thank you. Thank you so much Rosalind now In all these instances, what do we see we see that Jesus is telling his disciples Go You know in the first one we read Mark chapter 3 says go from village to village town to town right and In all these verses we see that Jesus is instructing his disciples go from place to place preach the gospel and Science miracles and wonders will follow and then we the last was we read Luke's Luke 10 was 17 onwards the 72 came back and said Lord in your name, we were able to drive out demons. We were able to cleanse the lepers We did such great miracles And so we see this pattern right the Lord Jesus what he set the example and Then he said you go and do it as Leaders, this is a very important aspect that we must follow If we have people under us as leaders in the ministry First do and then tell Right and that's where it's more powerful, right? The apostle the Lord Jesus didn't sit around and say hey anyways I'm going to die on the cross and the work is going to be done So in these three years three and a half years, maybe one year I'll do ministry was one year enough I think it was more than enough It's all right one year because the cross is anyway going to happen But But three and a half years he went through those hardships he went through those difficulties He took his disciples. He made them see his life Right. Did you ever picture why you know James the brothers of Jesus? Did you ever think about that the brothers of Jesus, you know, they said oh this guy is You know now he's trying some new tricks But now all of a sudden Everything's changed in their lives Because the truth was you know came into their heart and so Jesus has called us To be his disciples and so the commission is very clear Go preach from town to town from village to village city to city now How can I translate this into a season that I am in right now, right or this or the you know, you can say hey pastor That is during you know, Jesus's time people didn't have a 96 job So they can just go do whatever they want and come back How do I translate it now? Right, maybe you're in colleges. You have to be in one place Right, you can't go from city to town to villages and all of those things Or you're a working professional you work Monday to Friday 9 a.m. To 5 p.m. You come back home You've got your family and there's no place of being an evangelist Right or some of you may say I'm a housewife. So the whole day I'm working at home getting things done then the children come back from school And I have to look after the children. How can I go from city to city town and to town? It's not possible Now we must take Text into context Right What is the main message that we are receiving from these verses? Yes, anybody can share. What is the main message? Well, is it that we should you know be traveling every time? Or what is the main message that you get from these verses? Anyone would like to Share what what do you think was a main message you got from all the verses that we read? Yes, anyone go ahead. It is spective of our place be willing to share the gospel. Yes, very good Thank you, John. Anybody else from all the verses that we read. Yes, go ahead Lubeka. I Think regardless of what we think our call is in life We were called to fulfill the Great Commission Yes, regardless Pastor a parcel or a prophet you must also be part of the gradually something. Thank you pastor. Yes. Thank you. Thank you Lubeka. Yes, that's wonderful. Anybody else would like to share your thoughts Okay, suppose he says taking the initiative to go preach in the unreached. All right. That's good That's good. Yes. So all these are right So the main message that we get is God is calling us to reach out to people not from our own abilities Right, but through his Holy Spirit bringing signs wonders and miracles right He appointed people he appointed his disciples and he said go We are his disciples right so in a in a season or in a time like we are in right now Maybe if you're working nine to five Monday to Friday, you ask me, how will I reach out? You've got your office You've got probably hundreds of people in your office that you can minister to right During the lunch break during the you know the 10-minute break or you will have people going through challenges Okay, so too. What about a housewife? I'm at home just doing all the work You have neighbors if you're staying in an apartment or if you're staying close by you will get opportunities Right and when you do that you are being a disciple of Jesus Christ Now the problem is we made evangelism a picture of you know standing on the stage with Hundreds and thousands of people we need to remove that picture out of our mind. It's nice When it's like that, you know to see that but remove it out of our mind The work that of the evangelist is also one-on-one Right and I think we learned last semester know the power of a single invite So it's even one-on-one So let's look at two people in the New Testament who Are known to be as evangelists and we read about it. Let's look at Philip Now each time Philip is mentioned in the scripture He's ministering in different locations. I see that in your notes in act 6. He's in Jerusalem Acts 8 he's in Samaria From Samaria later on he goes in the to desert Acts 840. He's in this place called ozotus Then the scripture says he preached the gospel in all cities And the scripture doesn't mention the name of the cities, but you know, we see that Philip is moving from place to place preaching the gospel Right finally in acts 21 where Philip is called the evangelist. He's preaching at Caesarea It's so interesting know how the Bible the Bible doesn't call him evangelist for just just you know initially itself There's there's such so much of order, you know Bible is so wonderful Don't call Philip the evangelist in the first meeting itself. No They were able to see the call of God in Philip's life Hey Acts 6 from Jerusalem to Samaria into a desert then to ozotus to city to city to city Preaching the gospel finally. He's come to Caesarea and the writer Luke says now Philip the evangelist So our title is Only through our works Right people see the fruit of our work and that's where the title has come from And as believers you and I title should not be important but people will recognize the calling the gifting upon your life and You will be you know blessed you will be Used for God's kingdom and people who recognize it. You don't have to fight for it You don't have to fight for people to say hey you called me. I'm a pastor. You have to call me pastor I'm an apostle. You have to call me that you don't have to fight for it People will recognize the gift and calling on your life after you do the work They themselves Well, you know honor you and bless you Right, so an evangelist primary function is to preach the gospel Secondly is to exhort existing churches and stir them for the need of revival now We see that especially during days and now in this century We see that evangelists used to go to churches and they exhort they encouraged the church now I want to be very careful and want to put out this truth, right? many a times This has happened right and There's a book on this I forget the name of the book, but it's a very interesting study Christianity today also wrote an article on this, right? What is the work of an evangelist and in that they write a certain article where this happened in the West? this pastor had a small church of about 200 odd people and He was a very faithful pastor and he did he was doing a wonderful ministry Very faithful to God teaching the word of God preparing them But one thing about him was you know, he was Word-driven so he would only preach and teach the word and just powerful But like in any place there were people who are going through sicknesses torments and challenges and One of the things that was lacking in the church was Miracles, right? Now we can't blame the pastor. Oh, you're not praying enough. No, so he also began to pray and he was seeking God Now it's not a magic potion It's not something that we can drink and then the next week we can you know minister and healing and deliverance So he was praying seeking God God, you know, let there be healings and miracles. So one day he Thought let me have this, you know, the church is so many sick people so many of them going through problem Let me have like a meeting and invite a Preacher or an evangelist who can you know minister to them and pray for healing so he invited somebody and He came and he began to preach and teach the word and and there were many healings people were delivered and Towards the end of it This is what he said. He said in a couple of months from now. I am starting a church Around this place around this, you know, maybe somewhere away, but I'm starting a church, too So He just mentioned it right now Next week Sundays came and when Sundays came and when and Pastor realized that a lot of people in church were missing all of a sudden the attendance has gone down to hundred and 20 hundred and 40 And as he was praying he understood why this happened many of them Went from this church To the church of that evangelist who started the church because he had you know, this gift of healing and Miracles and people were delivered and all of that Now it was a very very painful time for this pastor and he writes and he says did I do a mistake? By inviting somebody is this what you know, is it something is this is their unity in the body of Christ? What should I do? He had many questions. Should I go and talk to the this man or what should I do? Will it be Christ like? Now this is a very difficult situation to be in but remember you know That as evangelists we are called to only empower and build up people not to bring division Right so any of us if God is calling us and you know that you know, you're going as a guest Speaker to another church be very wise in what you do and say right because people Like the gifts people like to go for the supernatural Right, there's nothing wrong in it But they must also understand that there should be order in the church And and so we as People who are ministering in different churches. Let's be very careful of this And this is just an example, and I'm sure it's happened in many many other places So if you're an evangelist be very careful when you're taking this step, right? And evangelists may also help start churches as Philip did in Samaria, right? It's not wrong to start churches Right, I'm not saying this evangelist did something wrong But but what was not right was announcing to this church that hey, I'm starting a church there right One of the things that I really appreciate in APC is it's not because I'm I'm a pastor here But one thing that really I appreciate is when people come and visit us from different places They visit on Sundays We always announce and we say if you're part of another church, please be faithful there Right, what are we doing? We're trying to let the people know that hey, we're all one body Just that we're meeting in different places different styles of worship different sermons different cultures But we're all one body So if you're part of a church that The word of God is being taught be faithful there That's very important Right next one is Paul Now we see the Apostle Paul had a wonderful wonderful ministry 17 years of ministry 15 to 17 years counting from the first missionary journey to the third and We know his beautiful writings the revelations that God gave him He started about 20 odd churches, but I'm sure there were many more because you know what now when you look at Galatia It's about four to five churches But the letter to Galatian is just one church right one to the Galatian church He raised many wonderful leaders and the Apostle Paul did a wonderful ministry of an evangelist But what was he called? It's called the Apostle, right? I just want to just show you a small Sure, if I have that just hold on it's a timeline of Okay, I don't think I can do that. Just give me one moment, please and so it's basically a timeline of Paul's ministry and How he went about doing his ministry, so I just wanted to show you so that we get an idea. I Hope I can do this Yeah, yeah, everyone can see the screen Okay Right, so you see here It's just a simple timeline nothing complicated, but it shows So it doesn't even show all the places that Paul ministered in but gives us gives us a you know a gist of his ministry right You see here 8034 He is conversion the man. He goes to Damascus and then he goes to Arabia then he goes to Jerusalem Tarsus Syria Cecilia then there's a need in Antioch so he goes to Antioch and remember Paul calls him. Sorry Barnabas calls him Looks for Saul in Tarsus finds him brings him to Antioch Excuse me so from Antioch They come to Jerusalem Jerusalem to Antioch again They go back to Jerusalem and then the first mission the journey starts He goes to Galatia and Galatia. He travels through Lister Derby Pasadena Antioch and all those places and then he comes back to Jerusalem and then he goes in a second missionary journey He goes to Tesla in the car to Corinth and remember when Corinth he goes to many other places in Greece The churches are not mentioned there Right and then the third missionary journey Corinth goes to Rome and During the house arrest again. He's reaching out to people people were he for two years He was there just people were coming and visiting and he was able to minister to people. He had freedom there so we see the Apostle Paul He didn't You know even from the time he started he carried the same passion Right, he didn't say okay. Now. I am well advanced in ministry. So let me call Get some other people from the team to you know, do this evangelism of one-on-one And I will look after the main important works of no writing letters to the churches and finding out He doesn't say that he doesn't mention anything with that Right for Paul the Apostle even one soul mattered Right and that is the heart of an evangelist right so so Though our achievements in ministry Should not stop us from you know ministering to people right no matter how big we become We may it's wonderful when God blesses us blesses our ministry become big Look for opportunities to be that evangelist right even in church right now. We are planning Coming series we're talking we're planning to do a Faith and science where we are talking about you know Many questions that people have regarding faith and house You know and science and trying to get them together and and preach a series And why are we doing this because we want to reach out to people? It's not that okay, we've grown very big and we don't want to be You know do the work of the evangelists know we want to do all we can to fulfill all Five all the five-fold ministry as a church right So we'll stop here. We'll take a break. We'll come back in 10 minutes And then we'll go to chapter 4 and we look at The restoration of the ministry of the evangelist. Let's take a break. We'll come back. Thank you
