Twenty-four Discourses / On Some of the Important and Interesting Truths, Duties, and Institutions, of the Gospel, and the General Excellency of the Christian Religion; Calculated for the People of God of Every Communion, Particularly for the Benefit of Pious Families, and the Instruction of All in the Things Which Concern Their Salvation

A series of twenty-four sermons presents foundational Christian teaching and practical instruction for congregational life. It begins by arguing human inability to achieve salvation by inward principle and warns against misinterpretation of scripture and instability in belief. Several discourses set out duties such as stated prayer and public worship, defend the Lord’s Supper and baptism as apostolic institutions, and discuss the nature and responsibilities of local churches. Additional sermons consider right methods of scriptural interpretation, the authority of the apostles, the support of the ministry, and the observance of the weekly holy day, aiming to strengthen piety and guide families in gospel practice.
