Our Only Job

 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." Mat.24:14

There seems to be much confusion in the world as to the role of the church. Most unsaved people seem to have a clear understanding about what role the local church is to play in society.  They start schools or food banks because they think that this is our responsibility.

In this verse it tells us as a local church what the focus of our church ought to be. Jesus said that a mark of the end times is evangelism. Preaching the gospel in all the world. It is not building cathedrals or professional worship teams. It is not producing music or publishing books. It is to be salt and light by the medium of preaching.

Jesus said that by preaching we become a witness to the nations. We, by preaching, testify to the reality of God. And that preaching is what we must do until the end of the age.

The church age is defined by Jesus as a preaching age. God had only one son, and He made him a preacher. God has only one church, one that preaches the Gospel to the whole world. Our Fellowship has been faithful to do this. Will we take up the mantle and continue to do God's will? 

Jesus told us that a mark of the end times is deception. Staying faithful to preach the gospel is the best way to avoid being deceived. This is our only job.
