Day 11: Teach

www.NewsletterNewsletter.com

Over the years I have taught a variety of age groups - Daisies, Teenagers, Ladies' bible studies, Adult Sunday School classes, and most recently, Wednesday night bible studies.

I have found out some things during those experiences.  It is a whole lot easier to get your point across if you can relate it to personal experience. People want to know if what you are saying relates to their lives.  

Same thing applies to sermonizing.  To me, the best preacher is one who can illustrate his sermons.  The examples shared will stick with you a lot longer than a long speech.

Did you know all believers are called to be teachers?  The Great Commission, which is for all believers, tells us to go out and make disciples, and then, teach them to observe all He has commanded us.

Teach them to observe - in other words, model what the Bible says. Live it before them.

A tall order, but He has promised to help.

I once sat under the teaching of Wes Woodruff who did an amazing job of coming up with real life experiences. Every. Time. He. Taught. Thanks, Wes.  I appreciate your labors.
