Proclaiming New Testament Gospel

Evangelism Sermon Outline

Introduction:

1. In our series, when we think of this present age, THE CHRISTIAN AGE, we find something entirely new: An evangelistic thrust taking men and a message to all the world!

2. Such did not exist in the Patriarchal Age. In the age of Moses, the law was for Israel and not for the Gentiles. Evangelism was not a part of the law, except as one man under the law would give encouragement or rebuke to another man also under that same law.

I.   Even Under The Law, We Find A Pointing To The New Testament — And Benefit To All Men.

A. Isaiah 2:1-3 — The law from Jerusalem — all nations to benefit.

B. Joel 2:28 — A pouring out upon ALL FLESH.

C. John 10:16 — Christ, having other sheep not of His present fold.

D. Acts 2:39 — Promise to Jews, their descendants, and those afar off.

II.  New Testament Fulfillment Of Old Testament Promise Waited Upon Two Events.

A. The death of the Christ. Redemption for man (Eph. 1:7); justification for man (Rom. 3).

B. The resurrection of the Christ, pictured here as the gist of the gospel (1 Cor. 15:1-4).

C. Christ had promised the apostles an empowering, giving them truth (John 16:13).

D. They were then to wait in Jerusalem for that power (Luke 14:49; Acts 1:4-5).

E. The power came upon them (Acts 2:1-4), and now they speak that gospel!

F. The Lord had earlier said it was to be taken to the whole world (Mark 16:15-16).

III. And There, Acts 2, Is The Beginning.

A. Remembering Isaiah 2:2 — All nations.

B. The Great Commission — All the world (Mark 16:15-16).

C. In Acts 2, promise to all — Jews, Jewish descendancy, and those afar off (Acts 2:39).

D. Here then, the beginning of the CHRISTIAN AGE, the GOSPEL AGE.

IV.  The Business Of The Church Is The Making Known Of The Gospel.

A. What is that business? Preaching the good news (1 Cor. 1:21).

B. What is that preaching called?

1. Preaching of the gospel (Mark 16:15; 1 Cor. 1:17).

2. Preaching of the cross (1 Cor. 1:18).

3. Preaching of the Christ (1 Cor. 1:23).

4. Preaching of Jesus (Acts 8:35).

5. Preaching the faith (Gal. 1:23).

6. Preaching the Word of God (Acts 13:5).

7. Preaching the forgiveness of sins (Acts 13:38).

8. Preaching the kingdom of God (Acts 8:12).

9. Preaching the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 8:12).

10.Preaching peace (Eph. 2:17).

C. And yet, there is but ONE MESSAGE.

Conclusion:

1. The gospel is thus commanded to be preached, that you might be saved.

2. That gospel must be obeyed: Faith, repentance, confession and baptism into Christ are the terms.

3. In the ten points above, think of what you obey if you will not do the Lord’s will; think, on the other hand of what you reject if you spurn the message!
