Paul's Preaching

Necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel! - 1 Corinthians 9:16.

Paul Preaches in Athens 

While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply troubled by all the idols he saw everywhere in the city. He went to the synagogue to reason with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and he spoke daily in the public square to all who happened to be there - Acts 17:16,17.

Paul and Silas ministering at Berea

Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men - Acts 17:10-12. 

Paul addressed the Areopagus

Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands - Acts 17:22-24. However, some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them - Acts 17:34.

             Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature - Mark 16:15.        

 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes - Romans 1:16.

                Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age - Matthew 28:18-20.

                                                     

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
