Thought For Today “In The Wonders Of God’s Creation, We See His Majesty And His Character.” 1550 S W W White Road San Antonio, TX 78220 Church: (210) 337-2044 Fax: (210) 337-2106 E-Mail: [email protected] Web Page Address: www.dellcrestchurchofchrist.org The Preacher And His Work What is a "preacher"? What are the duties of a preacher? What exactly is a preacher supposed to do? Most everyone has a notion or opinion and will readily give it, but what does God say? March 1- The Lord's Herald March 8- Diverting the Lord's Heralds March 15- The Preacher And The Church The Preacher And The Church Much of the error concerning preachers and their work comes from a wrong view of the relationship of the preacher and the local church. Many consider the preacher as an employee of the church. As such the church is an employer that determines the scope and duties of his work. This view is expressed in the statement: "We pay the preacher and we tell him what to do." The Lord's command to pay preachers for preaching (1 Cor. 9:14) does not make them church employees. Such support is compared to that of God's priests (1 Cor. 9:13-14). The priests were supported by the people's offerings to the Lord as the Lord's servants, not the peoples' hirelings (Num. 18:1-20). A preacher is not an employee of any church, but a servant of the Lord (1 Tim. 4:6). He is accountable to the Lord, entrusted to do the Lord's work and not "entangle himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier" (2 Tim. 2:3-4). The Scriptural relationship between a preacher and the Christians that support him is that of fellow workers in the Lord. The Lord commands the preacher to preach the gospel and those who hear him to support him in his work. Together they have "fellowship in the gospel" (1 Cor. 9:614; Phil. 1:5-7).

The Bible speaks of just one church: Read Matt. 16:18; Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4; Col. 1:18; I Cor. 12: 12-27. 2. Denominational division is contrary to the teaching of the Bible? Read: I Cor. 1:10; Phil. 3:16 3. In order to become a Christian, one must: a) Hear the gospel - Rom. 10:17; Acts 15:7 b) Believe in Christ - John 8:24; Heb. 11:6 c) Repent of sins - Luke 13:3; Acts 17:30 d) Confess faith in Christ - Matt. 10:32; Romans 10:9-10 e) Be baptized for remission of sins - Acts 2:38 4. When one obeys Christ in being baptized: a) He gets into Christ - Gal. 3:27; I Cor. 12:13 b) He is saved from his past sins - I Pet. 3:2021; Mark 16:15-16 Why not obey the gospel of Christ!
