Of The Holy Scriptures II

Summary

The sermon explores the second Article of Faith regarding the Holy Scriptures as the only rule of faith and practice, focusing on how the early church worshiped and where worship took place. It highlights four elements of early church worship: doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayers, and discusses the dual venues of worship—formal gatherings in the temple and informal meetings from house to house. The sermon emphasizes orderly worship as described in 1 Corinthians 14 and the role of spiritual gifts within the church community. It also addresses the participation of women in informal worship settings and concludes with reflections on historical Primitive Baptist practices.
