Becoming a pastor is more than accepting a new job assignment: God calls men to ministry, and He equips them for work that is grounded in His Word. In this ordination sermon, Alistair Begg reviews the priorities of pastoral ministry. Although the environment in which a pastor serves may be marked by intolerance for truth and preference for error, the pastor’s priority must be to preach the Bible faithfully in the power that God provides.
1hI charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, iwho is to judge the living and the dead, and by jhis appearing and his kingdom: 2preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; kreprove, rebuke, and lexhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3mFor the time is coming when people will not endure nsound1 teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4and owill turn away from listening to the truth and pwander off into myths. 5As for you, qalways be sober-minded, rendure suffering, do the work of san evangelist, tfulfill your ministry.
