Why We Keep Preaching First Principles

There are lost people who need to hear those sermons

Preaching of Philip (Acts 8:4-5, 12) Christ The kingdom A response that included baptism

Philip and the Eunuch (Acts 8:35) Preached Jesus A response to Jesus that included

baptism

There are lost people who need to hear those sermons

Often lost people that are at our services: People trying to serve God but don’t

know how. People who came with a friend visiting People who don’t know they are lost. People who have not yet been persuaded

These people need the gospel!!! (Rom 1:16)

There are lost people who need to hear those sermons

Our Response: Rejoice and delight for those who

need to hear Say a quick prayer Humility Faith that God’s power works

Those who are Children need such lessons

Rom. 10:14

Sometimes baptism isn’t talked about a lot at home. Repetition is crucial

First principles don’t just deal with baptism: One church concept Worship of the church Bible authority

Those who are Children need such lessons

Major difference today: “Do you have to be baptized or does faith alone save?” “Are the scriptures the actual inspired

words of God?” “Can we add to the scriptures or take

away from them?” “do all roads lead to heaven?” “do we need bible authority for

everything?” “how should the church be organized?”

Eph. 6:4

Christians need these lessons because they forget

2 Peter 1:12-15; 3:1-2

A letter Peter writes before he dies

YOU NEED TO BE REMINDED!!! We aren’t exempt When we quit paying attention to

these things our faith erodes.

Gentlemen, this is a football!!!
