Summer 2015
The Great Commission
•
14 Later
He appeared to the eleven as they sat
at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief
and hardness of heart, because they did not
believe those who had seen Him after He had
risen. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the
world and preach the gospel to every
creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized
will be saved; but he who does not believe will
be condemned.
The Great Commission
•
17 And
these signs will follow those who
believe: In My name they will cast out
demons; they will speak with new
tongues; 18 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.”
