Preach the Gospel• 1 Cor 15:1-8 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the

gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. 7 After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. 8 Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.

The Church’s Mission:




The Church’s Mission:• Follow the form of teaching (Rom. 16:17)


Rom 6:17

But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.



The Church’s Mission:• Follow the form of teaching (Rom. 16:17)• Hold the pattern of sound words (II Tim 1:13)


2 Tim 1:13-14

Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 14 That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.



The Church’s Mission:• Follow the form of teaching (Rom. 16:17)• Hold the pattern of sound words (II Tim 1:13)• Do the will of the Father in heaven (Mt.7:21)


Matt 7:21-23

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'




God’s Power:





God’s Power:•The gospel is the power of god (Rom. 1:16)


Rom 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.




God’s Power:•The gospel is the power of god (Rom. 1:16)• The word of the cross is the power of God

(I Cor. 1:18-21)


1 Cor 1:18-20

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written: "I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND BRING TO NOTHING THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRUDENT." 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?





(I Cor. 1:18-21)
