Title: The Church Has a Mandate To Evangelize! (1)
Author: Dr. Darrow Perkins
Text: Mark 16:15-16
INTRODUCTION: Evangelism is not a task that we just learn to do, but rather it is a lifestyle that we live. As we daily come into the revelation of Jesus Christ, we become personally transformed into worshippers. In order for this to take place, it is necessary that we receive a revelation concerning who God is and who we are in Christ. Knowledge of the Holy is the greatest need in our lives and in the Church of Jesus Christ today.

I think it's important for us to understand that Paul shared what he received first. That tells us it's imperative that we have a relationship with Jesus before we try to tell somebody else about Jesus.

The Greek word in its various forms appears fifty-five times in the New Testament, includes warning people about sin and the consequences of sin, and provides an explanation of God's remedy for sin-which is the gospel. Evangelism has been given to the church and we have the mandate to carry out the Lord's order ...
