He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe In My name: they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.\u201d So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.<strong>Mark 16:15-20<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.\u00a0 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.\u00a0 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.\u00a0 And this <strong>Gospel of the Kingdom<\/strong> shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. <strong>Matthew 24:11-14.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Gospel Of The Kingdom Is Light And Life.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee. And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: \u201cThe land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles: The people who sat in darkness <strong>have seen a great light<\/strong>, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death <strong>light has dawned<\/strong>.\u201d From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, \u201cRepent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.\u201d<strong> Matthew 4:12-17.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Gospel Of The Kingdom Is Healing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed. And the whole city was gathered together at the door. Then <strong>Jesus healed many who were sick with various diseases,<\/strong> and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him. Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, Jesus went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed. And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him. When they found Him, they said to Him, \u201cEveryone is looking for You.\u201d But Jesus said to them, \u201cLet us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also because for this purpose I have come forth.\u201d And Jesus was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and casting out demons. <strong>Mark 1 vs 32-39.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Gospel Of The Kingdom Is Free.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: \u201cDo not go into the way of the Gentiles and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, \u2018The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.\u2019 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. <strong>Freely you have received, freely give.<\/strong> Provide neither gold nor silver nor copper in your money belts, nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; for a worker is worthy of his food. <strong>Matthew 10:5-10.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Gospel Of The Kingdom Has To Be Treasured.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out. And when you go into a household, greet it. If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whoever <strong>will not receive you nor hear your words,<\/strong> when you depart from that house or city, <strong>shake off the dust from your feet<\/strong>.
