The Ancient Pattern of the Faith #2

Philip 1: 1-11Neil Woodbury

Today I want to express to you why the ancient pattern for the Assemblies of Christ is so very important. In our assembly here we are holding to the ancient pattern – the teachings of the Lord’s Apostles.

This is what nearly all churches say about themselves, but the proof is in the teachings of the leadership. This does not mean that we do not use modern technology to teach the Bible! A good example of what I’m talking about is found in the Letter to the Church in Philipi.

I. Jesus The Messiah

a. Read Philip 1: 1-2

b. Words mean so very much

II. In fellowship with the Lord’s Apostles

a. Read Philip 1: 3-8

b. What is required? Read 1 John 1: 1-4

III. The deeds and rewards of true fellowship a. Read Philip 1: 9-11
