TEACH AND PREACH JESUS CHRIST
“And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.”
Acts 5:42
Main Text: MAIN TEXT: Matthew 28:18-20
The call to share the gospel is simple and clear—it’s not limited to those in the fivefold ministry, but extends to every believer. We are all commissioned by Jesus Christ to preach, teach, and heal. There’s no need for gimmicks or complicated strategies—the message is straightforward: Jesus Christ. The early Church centered their teachings on Christ, emphasizing the power of the cross and His resurrection. We, too, must keep these at the heart of our message, for they are the key to the salvation of the lost.
Matt 28:19-20 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Jesus has called us to teach this dying world the ways of the Lord. We must boldly proclaim that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation and demonstrate the saving power of the Lord. Never be ashamed to preach Christ, for in Him we witness power, miracles, salvation, prosperity, and even the call to suffer for His sake. All these elements reveal the fullness of life in Christ, and we are entrusted with the responsibility to share this truth with the world.
Commit yourself fully to evangelistic efforts. Imagine how heartbreaking it would be if you could save the perishing, but those you entrusted to spread the message refused. We cannot afford to neglect this sacred duty. You must dedicate yourself to evangelism and embrace the call to do the work of an evangelist, sharing the gospel with a world in desperate need of salvation. 2 Tim 4:5 “But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.”
Confession
I boldly proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. With wisdom and love, I teach the truth of His Word, bringing light to those in darkness. I am an instrument of His message, sharing His love and salvation with all I encounter. By the power of the Holy Spirit, I lay hands on the sick, and they recover. The healing power of Jesus flows through me, and I see miracles, signs, and wonders as I carry out His work on the earth. I am committed to the great commission, leading souls to Christ and spreading the good news to every corner of the world. I reach out with compassion, and by God’s grace, I depopulate hell and populate heaven.
