I have had one message for Jews and Greeks alike—the necessity of repenting from sin and turning to God, and of having faith in our Lord Jesus.
Acts 20:21Paul is one of the greatest preachers of all times. Yet, he did not spend his time while on his missionary journeys preaching and teaching stuff that does not matter in the church, his message was clear and simple. Repent from sin, turn to God, Have faith in Jesus. That’s it! There was no teaching on style of worship, what to wear, when and where to meet, how many songs should be played and in what genre, what translation to use, the pastor is the only one that can use the high pulpit, or any of the other nonsense that we are exposed to in the church.

Repent – Turn – Faith
Paul knew what the most important message was, and with his limited time with each church and with each group of people, he decided these three things were the ‘most important’ to focus on. If he thought anything else was equal to or more important than these three things, don’t you think he would have preached on them?
