Thanks for your respond. I think the audience does not make a difference because the gospel is the same to the jew first and also to the greek. I would imagine philip spoke to the ethiopian eunech from the jewish scriptures! Now I agree that a gospel presentation may take more than one setting as in 1 cor 3 , one plants one waters and so on, but if the recipient is regenerated fruit will be borne ! As far as the simple truth , 1cor 15: 1-4 is the gospel in a nut shell if you ask me. To preach christ is to preach who he is and what he has done. You must preach christ substitute death , not just merely for sinners but for chosen sinners , his elect. You must preach christ representative aspect , who he represented on the cross, you also preach who it is he imputes righteousness, and whose sins were imputed to him. I believe in our day of apostacy, these simple truths have vanished. Those of us who God hass called to witness the truth, must witness, and distinguish the christ of scripture from the watered down christ of the apostate religon. Just saying christ was crucified for sinners,( thats not enough) well thats a popular message today, and you know that. God does not mind detail , we can look bact in the ot and see that. Don`t mean to be contetious, but we as Gods witnesses need to be passionate and thorough about the christ of the bible...
