Tent-Making Preachers (Season 1, Episode 6)

God’s design is that those who dedicate their lives to preaching the gospel receive full support for that work (1 Corinthians 9:14). However, one who preaches may not always (or ever) enjoy the blessing of such support. When a preacher receives only partial support – or even no support – for preaching the gospel, what is he to do? This episode discusses 8 instructions to the “tent-making preacher” as he serves the Lord in that capacity.

Keep preaching.
Work to support yourself.
Make the most of your time.
Manage your other responsibilities.
Recognize your limitations.
Avoid jealousy and bitterness.
Give the brethren no cause to look down on your work.
Fulfill your ministry.

Speak Your Mind

Peter issued this challenge to all Christians: “But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence” (1 Peter 3:15). However, many Christians feel unprepared to do this; therefore, many conversations that could potentially lead people to the truth never get started.

This book will help equip all Christians to start engaging in spiritual conversations with those around them by providing simple answers to some basic Bible questions. Being ready to give an answer does not mean having an answer to every possible question at the drop of a hat. Instead, it means being able to give a ready answer to questions that are fundamental to our faith that can open the door to further discussions and studies with those who are interested. By studying the material in this book and becoming familiar with the Scriptures cited in each answer, Christians will be better prepared and have more confidence when they discuss their faith with others.
