home page help

you can use below code just replace your post type (page,post, etc.).

<?php // The Query
$args = array('post_type'=>'your_post_type',
              'cat'=>'featured_posts',
              'post_per_pages'=>'3',
              'order'=>'ASC');

	query_posts( $args );
// The Loop
     while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
			<h2> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
 <?php the_title(); ?> </a></h2>
        <div> the_content(); </div>
<?php endwhile;
// Reset Query
wp_reset_query(); ?>

if you do not have a home.php in your template you can create it.

either

you can add this code in :-

single.php if you want to show posts on home page
or
page.php if you want to show pages on home page

it’s better to create a home.php file in your theme folder. The final code look like this,

<?php
get_header(); ?>

		<div id="container">
			<div id="content" role="main">

			<?php // The Query
			$args = array('post_type'=>'your_post_type',
			              'cat'=>'featured_posts',
			              'post_per_pages'=>'3',
			              'order'=>'ASC');

				query_posts( $args );
			// The Loop
			     while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
						<h2> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
			 <?php the_title(); ?> </a></h2>
			        <div> the_content(); </div>
			<?php endwhile;
			// Reset Query
			wp_reset_query(); ?>

			</div><!-- #content -->
		</div><!-- #container -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
