Matthew 4:23, “Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.” The gospel should be preached by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit with the words of Scripture.  The four main components involved in preaching are, (1) God the Holy…

Revelation 15:4, “Who will not fear you, Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.” The God of the gospel is both fully loving and completely holy.  Some people choose to focus only on one attribute;…

Mark 4:14, “The farmer sows the word.” The four responses to the gospel are based on the four kinds of hearts, which are; (1) Rejection: from a hard unbelieving heart, (2) Backsliding: from a shallow heart, (3) Sinful: from a heart overwhelmed with sin, and lastly, (4) Acceptance & Growth: from a believing and accepting…

Isaiah 53:5, “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” The gospel, the “good news” concerning God’s glory and humanity’s salvation by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ, didn’t start in…

Acts 5:42, “Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.” Preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ is the central theme of the entire book of Acts.  The name “Acts” comes from the shortened name, “The Acts of…

1 Thessalonians 2:4, “On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts.” Other than Jesus, Paul is the most significant person in the New Testament concerning the gospel.  In his book to the Romans, he…

Galatians 1:6-7, “6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel — 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel…

Acts 19:20, “In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power.” Never before have we seen the gospel spreading faster and more effectively across the world than we are right now.  Just like in the book of Acts the gospel net is spreading wide and growing by the power of…
