The Gospel the Apostles Preached

Intro.

1. Why should you (anyone) believe and follow the gospel of Jesus? Mark 1:14-15

2. Answer is given in 1 Thess. 1:5: “For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.”

3. The gospel they preached is still here. Let it save you and establish you in faith and hope all the days of your life.

I. A REVEALED GOSPEL (“in word”), John 16:13; Gal. 1:11-12.

3. The commands of the Lord, 1 Cor. 14:37.

B. Inspired by God, 1 Cor. 2:10-13; 2 Tim. 3:16-17.

B. The Power of the Holy Spirit Confirmed the Apostles Were from God, Luke 24:47-49; Acts 1:8 (5).

1. Lord worked with them, confirmed word by signs, Mark 16:15-20; Heb. 2:3-4.

2. Signs, wonders, and miracles, Acts 4:12-16; 13:12; 1 Cor. 2:5.

B. It Was Boldly Preached, Acts 4:13; 1 Cor. 2:1-5; Phil. 1:19-20.

-Without shame, Rom. 1:16; Only power to save us, 1 Cor. 15:1-2.

C. A Gospel that Establishes Our Faith and Hope, Rom. 16:25.

1. By its facts (to believe), 1 Cor. 15:1-4.

2. By its commands (to obey), Mark 16:16 (Acts 2:37-38; 10:47-48); Rom. 10:16; 2 Thess. 1:8.
