  1. Preaching the Gospel

  2. Introduction • Paul preached the gospel with great desire and determination (Rom. 1:8-17). • The message of truth, the gospel, forms the basis of our hope of salvation (Eph. 1:13-23).

  3. In Prophecy • In the Old Testament dispensation, the gospel was preached in prophecy. • Consider God’s promise to Abraham (Gen. 12:1-3; Gal. 3:6-9) and also Isaiah’s prophecy of the Messiah (Isa. 61:1-3; Luke 4:16-21).

  4. In Practice • In the present dispensation, the gospel must be preached at home, near, and far (Mark 16:15-16; Rom. 10:14-17; 15:18-21; Rev. 14:6-7). • Our upcoming Gospel Meeting with brother Chris Reeves begins next Sunday. • The Alvin congregation supports the preaching of the gospel in the United States: Rosenberg, Brenham, Abilene, Lampasas, Seminole, and Washington State. • We also support the preaching of the gospel in foreign lands, both in the Philippines and also India.

  5. In Purpose • In personal evangelism and public proclamation, the gospel must be preached with purpose. • Consider the example and exhortations of John, early disciples, and Paul (Luke 3:15-18; 16:16; Acts 14:21-23; 1 Cor. 9:16-17).

  6. In Purity • The gospel must be preached in its purity and fulness. • Not recognizing the danger of digression (Gal. 1:8-9), the Corinthians foolishly accepted those who taught a different gospel (2 Cor. 11:1-6). • Like Paul, we must fully preach the gospel of Christ (Rom. 15:18-21), and not shrink back from declaring the whole purpose/counsel of God (Acts 20:25-32).

  7. In Persecution • The gospel must be preached even in the face of persecution. • Although they were threatened, and subsequently beaten, the apostles continued to preach Jesus as the Christ (Acts 4:13-22; 5:27-32, 40-42). • Later, Barnabas and Saul evidenced similar courage (Acts 14:1-7).

  8. Conclusion • The preaching of the gospel leads to the obedience of faith (Rom. 16:25-27). • The preaching of the gospel prepares us for the final judgment (1 Pet. 4:1-6).
