GOD STICKS TO HIS PLAN

INTRODUCTION

Mark 16:14-20 emphasizes Jesus' commission to the disciples to overcome unbelief, to proclaim the gospel to all creatures, and the promise of His presence through miraculous signs.

CONTENT

Let us pay attention to the Word of God from Mark 16:14-20:

1. Rebuke unbelief (Mark 16:14)

Jesus rebuked the disciples for their hardheartedness and their unbelief regarding the testimonies of the resurrection.

  • This is a reminder for us not to doubt God's power.

2. The Great Commission (Mark 16:15-16)

The commission to go into the whole world and preach the gospel is an absolute responsibility for every believer.

  • Faith and baptism are the keys to salvation, not only rituals.

3. Signs of presence (Mark 16:17-18)

Believers were led by miraculous signs: the casting out of demons, speaking in new tongues, and God's protection against danger.

  • This confirms God's power in the ministry.

4. Enduring task (Mark 16:19-20)

After His ascension, Jesus did not leave the disciples alone; He worked with them and strengthened the proclamation of the Word with miracles.

CONCLUSION

Be a courageous witness of Christ, believe in His power, and be proactive (active and dynamic) in spreading the good news; be convinced that God guides every ministry.
