Matthew 28:20, “Teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

In other words, “disciples…

John 15:20, “Remember what I told you: A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.

Acts 14:23, “Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, committed them to the Lord, in whom they had put their trust.” After the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost they went everywhere and preached the gospel with signs following (Mark 16:20). As…

Matthew 16:18, “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of [hell] will not overcome it.” When Jesus was on the earth He had a two-part mission; the first part of His mission was to redeem lost mankind by His death on the cross…

2 Timothy 2:15 (AMP), “Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth.” Do you love the Word of God?
