This is a course I taught in Kenya for African Christian Restoration Evangelism Bible College, and also at the South Side Church of Christ in Danville, IL.
The course is “Principles of the New Testament Church.” This course had a great impact on the preachers in Kenya, Africa, as they began to see the need to restore the church back to the biblical pattern.
I created a few of the lessons, but leaned heavily on CC Crawford’s book “Sermon Outlines on the Restoration Plea.”
Enjoy and use it to the glory of God!
