Pastor Chad concludes a study of Matthew 10 and the 11 principles of evangelism drawn from Jesus' training and sending of His 12 disciples to evangelize around the Sea of Galilee. The 11 principles applicable to evangelism today are:

1. (Mt. 10:1) Jesus commissions/empowers us to evangelize the entire WORLD (all nations).
2. (Mt. 10:2-4) Jesus commissions/empowers us to evangelize TOGETHER (pairs).
3. (Mt 10:5-6) Jesus commissions/empowers us to evangelize EVERYONE (Jews & Gentiles).
4. (Mt. 10:7-8) Jesus commissions/empowers us to preach a SPECIFIC GOSPEL message (repentance and faith in Jesus as Lord in order to enter the soon coming Kingdom of God).
5. (Mt. 10:9-10) Jesus commissions/empowers us to put off any HINDRANCES to the Gospel.
6. (Mt. 10:11-13) Jesus commissions/empowers us to seek SUPPORTERS of our evangelistic efforts.
7. (Mt. 10:14-31) Jesus commissions/empowers us to endure PERSECUTION while evangelizing.
8. (Mt. 10:32) Jesus commissions/empowers us to solicit a CONFESSION (heart response).
9. (Mt. 10:33-34) Jesus commissions/empowers us to warn of the CONSEQUENCES of rejecting the Gospel.
10. (Mt. 35-38) Jesus commissions/empowers us to stress a COUNTING THE COST of following Jesus as Lord.
11. (Mt. 39-41) Jesus commission/empowers us to remind ourselves of the REWARDS for believers who faithfully preach the gospel/evangelize the lost. Chad ends with a conclusion and encouragement of the great reward promised those who are faithful in evangelism (Matthew 6:19-21, 10:39-42, Mark 10:28-31, Colossians 3:23-24, 2 Timothy 4:7-8, 1 Peter 1:3-4).
