Pastoral Priorities — Part One

 (ID: 2875)

The leadership of the early church devoted themselves to prayer and to preaching. When a dispute arose that threatened the unity of the church, they faced the temptation to reorder their priorities. Instead, as Alistair Begg explains, the leaders took a firm stand on the priority of preaching. Although good works bear witness to the Gospel message, it is only through the Word of God proclaimed that men and women come to faith in Christ.
