the word of God.

5. People Desire to Hear
Romans 10:13-16 NKJV For "WHOEVER CALLS ON THE
NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED." (14) How then
shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And
how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?
And how shall they hear without a preacher? (15) And how
shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
"HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO
PREACH THE GOSPEL OF PEACE, WHO BRING GLAD
TIDINGS OF GOOD THINGS!" (16) But they have not all
obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS
BELIEVED OUR REPORT?“

Paul dwelt two whole years
in his own rented house,

Christ with all confidence,
no one forbidding him.

7. Acts 28:23 NKJV So when they had
appointed him a day, many came to him at
his lodging, to whom he explained and
solemnly testified of the kingdom of
God, persuading them concerning Jesus
from both the Law of Moses and the
Prophets, from morning till evening.

8. Preaching the Kingdom of God
Daniel 2:44 NKJV And in
the days of these kings
the God of heaven will set
up a kingdom which shall
never be destroyed; and
the kingdom shall not be
left to other people; it
shall break in pieces and
consume all these
kingdoms, and it shall
stand forever.

9. Preaching the Kingdom of God
Daniel 7:27 NKJV Then
the kingdom and
dominion, And the
greatness of the
kingdoms under the
whole heaven, Shall be
given to the people, the
saints of the Most High.
His kingdom is an
everlasting kingdom, And
all dominions shall serve
and obey Him.„

10. Preaching the Kingdom of God
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 NKJV (1) 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,

11. Preaching the Kingdom of God
Acts 28:24 NKJV And some were
persuaded by the things which were

the Son has eternal life; whoever does
not obey the Son shall not see life, but
the wrath of God remains on him.

and Barnabas grew bold and
said, "It was necessary that the
word of God should be spoken to
you first; but since you reject

of everlasting life, behold, we turn
to the Gentiles. (47) For so the
Lord has commanded us: 'I HAVE
SET YOU AS A LIGHT TO THE
GENTILES, THAT YOU SHOULD
BE FOR SALVATION TO THE
ENDS OF THE EARTH.' “
