Sermon Discussion Questions :
The 3rd General Rule : “Attending to the Ordinances” Begin by Listing the Ordinances. 1. To Overflow With Thankfulness (Colossians 2:6-7) How have others seen this overflowing thankfulness in my life? 2. To Remain Secure in Christ (Colossians 2:8-9) What false teaching threaten the believers’ faith? 3. To Contribute To Another’s Growth in Christ (John 21:15-19) • Feeding Others • Caring for Others • Suffering as part of Following Jesus. How is God preparing me in these 3 areas? ========================= The General Rules First: By doing no harm, by avoiding evil of every kind, especially that which is most generally practiced… Second: By doing good; by being in every kind merciful after their power; as they have opportunity, doing good of every possible sort, and, as far as possible, to all men. Third: By attending upon all the ordinances of God; such are: The public worship of God. The ministry of the Word, either read or expounded. The Supper of the Lord. Family and private prayer. Searching the Scriptures. Fasting or abstinence. These are the General Rules of our societies; all of which we are taught of God to observe, even in his written Word, which is the only rule, and the sufficient rule, both of our faith and practice. And all these we know his Spirit writes on truly awakened hearts. If there be any among us who observe them not, who habitually break any of them, let it be known unto them who watch over that soul as they who must give an account. We will admonish him of the error of his ways. We will bear with him for a season. But then, if he repent not, he hath no more place among us. We have delivered our own souls.
