Oldest Christian Sermon

;Second Clement; has been called “the oldest complete Christian sermon that has survived.” But Clement did not write it as even Roman Catholic scholars admit. Do you know what the oldest preserved sermon outside the New Testament teaches? Does it define a Christianity that is taught in the Church of God. Does it have any lessons that can assist in preparation for the Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread? Does it frequently reference scripture? Does it refer to the New Testament writings as scripture? Are there any translation issues to consider? Are the commandments to be kept by Christians? Dr. Thiel gives that sermon and also answers many questions related to it.
