What Biblical Book Should I Begin Preaching in a Church Plant?

….especially as AIG argues that to reach people, we need to start with Genesis, and I’d argue that to recover the vitality of a church, it’s essential to preach the Gospels. I hope I’m painting with a brush which is far too broad here, but some things I’ve seen suggest to me that the bane of many churches is an over-emphasis on partial understanding of the Epistles with a neglect of the Gospels and the character of Christ.

Now if I posit that I’m working with believers who are coming from less-sound churches to form a doctrinally sound church, I’m with the author here. If I’m trying to reach a community with few believers, though, I wonder if a mixture of Gospel and Genesis preaching might be more effective–this is who Jesus is, this is why you want to get to know Him.

Doesn’t matter which book you preach. Just preach Christ.
