THE PURPOSE OF SPREADING THE WORD OF GOD

By Pastor Mary Kearney

As Christians, we are called to spread the good news of Jesus Christ and his teachings to those around us. We do this in several ways, including through worship, teaching, tithing, fellowship, and Bible study.

Firstly, worship is an essential part of spreading the word of God. When we come together to worship, we give thanks to God for all he has done for us, and we invite his presence into our lives. Through worship, we connect with God and with each other, and we share the joy of our faith with those around us.

Secondly, teaching is also crucial. We are called to teach others about the love and grace of Jesus Christ and his teachings, so that they too may come to know him and experience the blessings of his salvation. By sharing our knowledge and understanding of God's word, we can help others to grow in their faith and deepen their relationship with God.

Thirdly, tithing is another important aspect of spreading the word of God. When we give generously to our church and those in need, we show others the love and generosity of God. Our giving helps to support the work of the church and its mission to reach out to the world with the good news of Jesus Christ.

Fourthly, fellowship is a vital part of spreading the word of God. By coming together in the community, we build relationships with other believers and create a supportive and encouraging environment in which we can grow in our faith. Through fellowship, we share our joys and sorrows, our hopes, and fears, and we support each other in our spiritual journeys.

Lastly, Bible study is essential for spreading the word of God. Through studying and meditating on the Bible, we gain a deeper understanding of God's word and his teachings. We learn how to apply these teachings to our lives, and we become better equipped to share our faith with others.
