2. ACTS 2:42 The believers continually devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer

4. ACTS 5:42 Every day they were in the Temple and homes, teaching and preaching Christ Jesus, not letting up for a minute. (NLT) And every day, in the Temple and from house to house, they continued to teach and preach this message: “Jesus is the Messiah.” (NIV) Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

6. Acts 3:20 “And he will send you Jesus, the Messiah, the chosen one for you.” Acts 8:5 “Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them.” Acts 9:20 “At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God.” ACTS 17:18 “...Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.”

7. 1 John 1:1-3 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2 The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard….”

8. COLOSSIANS 1 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus …
COLOSSIANS 1 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus …., 2 To God’s holy people in Colossae… in Christ: 7 Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ ….live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way….11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might ….13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

9. 15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created… ; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things …by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. 22 now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy

10. 24 Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church…..26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. 29 To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.

11. “The gospel identifies in words who Jesus Christ is, and announces the in-breaking and coming rule and reign of his kingdom....This good news is the proclamation that originates with Jesus. It’s the message about who he is, and what he has done....”
