• The gospel must be preached.
Mark 16:15-16
15 And He said to them, "Go into all the
world and preach the gospel to every
creature.
16 "He who believes and is baptized will
be saved; but he who does not believe
will be condemned."
Romans 10:14, 17
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?
17 …So then faith comes by hearing, and
hearing by the word of God.

good work.

Preach The Word Of God
Preach The Word Of God
2 Timothy 4:1-2
1 I charge you therefore before God and the
Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and
the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:
2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out
of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all
longsuffering and teaching.
Preach The Word Of God
2 Timothy 4:3-5
3 For the time will come when they will not
endure sound doctrine, but according to their
own desires, because they have itching ears,
they will heap up for themselves teachers;
4 and they will turn their ears away from the
truth, and be turned aside to fables.
5 But you be watchful in all things, endure
afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill
your ministry.
Preach The Word Of God
2 Timothy 2:15
15 Be diligent to present yourself
approved to God, a worker who does not
need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the
word of truth.
Preach The Word Of God
2 Timothy 2:1-2
1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the
grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that you have heard
from me among many witnesses, commit
these to faithful men who will be able to
teach others also.
Preach The Word Of God
Titus 3:1, 8
1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and
authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good
work…
8 …This is a faithful saying, and these things I
want you to affirm constantly, that those who
have believed in God should be careful to
maintain good works. These things are good
and profitable to men.
Preach The Word Of God
Titus 2:1-3
1 But as for you, speak the things which are
proper for sound doctrine:
2 that the older men be sober, reverent,
temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
3 the older women likewise, that they be
reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given
to much wine, teachers of good things…
Wage The Good Warfare
Wage The Good Warfare
1 Timothy 1:18
18 This charge I commit to you, son
Timothy, according to the prophecies
previously made concerning you, that by
them you may wage the good warfare.
Wage The Good Warfare
1 Timothy 6:12
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold
on eternal life, to which you were also
called and have confessed the good
confession in the presence of many
witnesses.
Wage The Good Warfare
2 Timothy 2:23-25
23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes,
knowing that they generate strife.
24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel
but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,
25 in humility correcting those who are in
opposition, if God perhaps will grant them
repentance, so that they may know the truth.
Wage The Good Warfare
1 Timothy 1:3-4
3 As I urged you when I went into
Macedonia -- remain in Ephesus that you
may charge some that they teach no
other doctrine,
4 nor give heed to fables and endless
genealogies, which cause disputes rather
than godly edification which is in faith.
Wage The Good Warfare
1 Timothy 1:19-20
19 …having faith and a good conscience,
which some having rejected, concerning
the faith have suffered shipwreck,
20 of whom are Hymenaeus and
Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan
that they may learn not to blaspheme.
Wage The Good Warfare
2 Timothy 1:15
15 This you know, that all those in Asia
have turned away from me, among
whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
Wage The Good Warfare
2 Timothy 2:17-18
17 And their message will spread like
cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of
this sort,
18 who have strayed concerning the
truth, saying that the resurrection is
already past; and they overthrow the
faith of some.
Wage The Good Warfare
Titus 3:9
9 But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies,
contentions, and strivings about the law;
for they are unprofitable and useless.
