MODELING THE LORD'S MINISTRY: The Ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew 9:35; cf. 9:31, 36)

"And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction." ~Matthew 9:35 ESV~

This is a clear prospective of how the LORD did ministry.  

1. (Discipleship) - Teach - "teaching in their synagogues" - within the fellowship of believers (the church) -- (9:35b). 

2. (Evangelism) - Preach - "proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom" - to those out of fellowship of believers (the lost) -- (9:35b).

3. (Benevolence) - Meeting needs -"healing" those with "disease" & "afflicted" with acts of charity/love (amongst the church and the lost - "every") -- (9:35c).
