I do not think "laymen" have to present a three point sermon on the street,or in a public place. However I believe it is sin not to prayerfully seek any and all opportunities to present Christ to a dying world.
As part of that presentation a person could explain the special place that God has given to the word of God ,and how Preacher's are given as gifts to the church. It does not have to be an either ,or , situation.
Explain the christian life, from regeneration and justification, to santification and glorification showing how the word is central to our knowing God and His salvation. Then invite the person to hear the word preached the next Lord's day.
