| 0:13.1 | The podcast dedicated to helping you preach faithfully, clearly, and better. |
| 0:28.2 | Good day and thanks for listening to the podcast. |
| 0:33.2 | In this episode, I want to talk to you about evangelistic preaching. |
| 0:45.7 | 2 Timothy chapter 4, verse 5 5 Paul instructs Timothy and of course thus Christ instructs the church and its ministers as for you always be sober minded endure suffering do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. |
| 1:00.2 | That third exhortation or imperative in that verse says, do the work of an evangelist. |
| 1:09.5 | But this instruction is given to Timothy, who is a pastor, teacher, |
| 1:16.9 | elder in the church at Ephesus. We call, of course, these letters to Timothy pastoral epistles |

| 2:29.5 | think about it this way as you stand preach, typically there are three different groups in whatever congregation you are ministering to. There are true believers. Those who have repented of their sin, put their trust in Jesus Christ as their savor and Lord and are walking in obedience |
| 2:53.4 | to him. Their need is to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. There are also false |
| 3:02.5 | believers. These are people who are walking under a false presumption of salvation. |
| 3:09.7 | These are the people of Matthew 7. |
| 3:13.0 | Not everyone who says to me, |
| 3:15.3 | Lord, Lord will enter into the kingdom of heaven, |
