“Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching, and to teaching” (1 Timothy 4:13).

There you have it. When we think about the work of pastoral ministry, we think about leading public worship, preaching, and teaching. We want to devote ourselves to those tasks, those privileges, and we want to do the best we can in those areas, all because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.

The following three articles are meant to be encouragements to devote yourself to these things as a good minister of Christ Jesus.
