• Jesus started his ministry with preaching (Mk 1:9-14)
• He ended by commissioning his disciple to do likwise (Matt 28:18-20)
• This is a strong indicator of the value he places on preaching the gospel.

5. MARK 16:15-20
15] And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall
speak with new tongues;
18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall
lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19] So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the
right hand of God.
20] And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming
the word with signs following. Amen.

6. [1] A MUST FOR ALL BELIEVERS
• The Lord Jesus christ commands all believers to go and preach:
- The gospel (Matt 28:18-20)
- The power and wisdom of God (1Cor 1:24)
• Refusal to preach has consequences (1Cor 9:16)

(2Tim 4:2; Act 18:26)
• God doesn‘t want anyone to perish (2Pet 3:9; 1Tim 2:4)

for the repentant sinner (Matt 11:28, Jn 3:36)

1:8-10)
