    Messiah's Mandate Text: Matt. 28:16-20 Introduction 1. Illustration: It is easy to determine when something is aflame. It ignites other material. Any fire that does not spread will eventually go out. A Pentecostal church without evangelism is a contradiction in terms, just as a fire that does not ...read more
