The Home Missionary
Mark 5:18-20
And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.…


A converted man should be a missionary to his fellow men.

I. CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY WORK, THE DUTY OF EVERY CONVERTED MAN, should be undertaken

(1)  out of gratitude to God;

(2)  from regard to human need,

(3)  to promote the glory of Christ.

II. CHRISTIAN EFFORT SHOULD BEGIN AT HOME.

III. CHRISTIAN USEFULNESS MUST BE BASED ON PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

IV. CHRISTIAN OBEDIENCE WILL BE CROWNED WITH THE REWARD OF SUCCESS.

(H. Phillips.)
