The letters of Paul to Timothy and Titus describe in detail the nature of a preacher’s work. 1 Tim. 4:13 and 2 Tim. 4:1-5 sum up the work of preaching. It is the duty of a preacher to know and proclaim the word of God to as many as possible. This includes teaching and converting the lost (Mk. 16:15-16), edifying the saved (Rom. 1:11-12), and training others to preach (2 Tim. 2:2).
Preachers may be involved at times in almost every aspect of the local work, but they must constantly heed the charge to “Preach the word” (2 Tim. 4:2). Our congregation has both an English language preacher and a preacher to those who speak Spanish.
