“GOSPEL
OF GOD”
“GOSPEL OF CHRIST”

It is called the “Gospel of the
Kingdom of God”, the “Gospel of

Slide 63
Slide 63 text
When Paul declares,
“For though I preach the
Gospel…” he is referring to his
compulsion to preach the
Gospel.
Slide 64
Slide 64 text
In other words in saying here
that he must preach the
Gospel.
Slide 65
Slide 65 text
He did not glory because he
was called to preach.
Slide 66
Slide 66 text
Being a preacher of the
Gospel was no reason for him
to glory more than a Lawyer
or Doctor is a reason for them
to glory.
Slide 67
Slide 67 text
Simply put, God called him to
preach the Gospel.
Slide 68
Slide 68 text
He was compelled to preach,
he did not have a choice—he
could not negotiate with God
by asking Him,
“What’s in for me?”
Slide 69
Slide 69 text
Paul wants to make it clear
that he does not preach for
his own benefit.
Slide 70
Slide 70 text
Paul wants to make it clear
that he does not preach for

Slide 71
Slide 71 text
But he preaches because the
Lord commanded him to
preach.
Slide 72
Slide 72 text
The gospel is his priority,
Paul felt compelled to preach.
it was his duty and all he wanted
to do was preach the Gospel in
the way God would have him
preached it
Slide 73
Slide 73 text
But since
preaching is God’s idea,
then our preaching of the
Gospel is accountable to Him.
Slide 74
Slide 74 text
Look how serious Paul took
his accountability of preaching
the Gospel as he says,
“…woe is unto me, if I preach
not the gospel!”
Slide 75
Slide 75 text
All preachers especially
pastors are accountable to
God, and all Believers
regardless of their position in
the Church are accountable to
God too.

God called Paul to preach,
the stewardship and trust of
preaching was his.
Slide 78
Slide 78 text
The call to preach is an
awesome responsibility,
God placed His Gospel into
his hands and how he treated
it was extremely serious.
Slide 79
Slide 79 text
Paul said when I preach—
I do it willingly.
Slide 80
Slide 80 text
Paul enjoyed the privilege of seeing
people saved free of charge, and the
confidence of people in him, because
he was free of greed—for Paul there
was a removal of any charge that he
was only in it for the money.
Slide 81
Slide 81 text
The truth is we preach out of
necessity and not for the
money.
Slide 82
Slide 82 text
The preacher, not money’s
preacher, but God’s preacher
should constantly search his
heart and make sure his heart is
pure and cleansed of any
wrong motive.
Slide 83
Slide 83 text
Let him be found blameless,
it doesn’t that they won’t try to
blame him—but that when
they do, he will be found
blameless.

thought for his life slew his son,
