Preach the Word because it is God's message of freedom!

 

1)    Preach the Word b/c God uses it to turn back the kingdom of darkness and radically changes the lives of all who believe.

[1] I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:  [2] preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.

 

2)    Preach the Word b/c others will treat it like dirt!

[3] For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, [4] and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.  [5] As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

3)    Preach the Word b/c it fixes your gaze on the eternal.

[6] For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. [7] I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.  [8] Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.
