I have just finished a five-week study with my group about the elementary teachings.
Let us read: Heb 6 Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, 2 instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And God permitting, we will do so.

Next Matt 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
v20 and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you

When I first approached these subjects, I based the foundation on these two passages, fundamentally.

Yeshua tells us to 'Make', disciples and to not generate converts.

In Hebrews 6, we are given a clue into what should be attained and understood as a believer. Discipleship must include these teachings and it is incumbent on all of us to teach these elementary principles to those who are being established.

These elementary teachings are foundational to every disciple, but how many are taught them and how many can teach them?
The challenge is: Can you?

The early church had to have a good grasp of them. Laying this foundation helps us to move on to maturity.

it is one thing to debate the aspects of the law and the observances but it is another to obey the teachings of Yeshua and to live in the freedom which His commands bring.

Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, Because the Lord has anointed and commissioned me To bring good news to the humble and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up [the wounds of] the brokenhearted, To proclaim release [from confinement and condemnation] to the [physical and spiritual] captives And freedom to prisoners

Perhaps the lack of this foundation illuminates what will be the destabilising factor in the faith community and which will in some part explain the turning away of many from the Word.

Is our foundation built upon the sand or the Rock?
The journey of the Hebrews in their exodus took forty years and they walked predominantly upon the sands of the wilderness. They could base their future upon what they walked upon (the sand) or on what they could rest upon (the Rock). Both were with them throughout.

The law of YHVH's covenant would bring freedom to them but only when they understood its foundation and the true freedom it is meant to give.
