Learning from the
Greatest Teacher

Never has a man spoken the
way this man speaks (John 7:46)

  • Jesus was a revolutionary teacher who associated with common people and taught them God’s Word. They had never heard such refreshing words before (Matt. 7:28-29).
  • Jesus’ words had power and authority. They spoke directly to, and addressed, the conflict of the human heart. As a teacher, pattern your teaching from the Master, who really understood people (John 2:23-25) and met them where they were.
  • Jesus was a creative teacher. He used God’s creation, and His students’ environment as resources and tools to teach. We can use our Lord’s methods by teaching students with what is common and known to them and use that as a bridge to introduce greater truths (Matt. 13:44).

Start A Bible Readers’ Club At Your Church (Handouts)


ICEA – “Church at Study”

STARTING A BIBLE READERS CLUB IS A UNIQUE WAY FOR
MEMBERS TO LEARN THE BIBLE & INTERACT AT THE SAME TIME!

HERE IS A SAMPLE LETTER THAT WAS SENT OUT TO MEMBERS:

Praise the Lord ________________________ .
 
I want to invite you to our Bible Readers Club, where members will be reading the book of Philippians. The event will be this Sunday, from 4:15-5:45 p.m. We will have some light-hearted things to do to make the reading exciting. We will be giving out small gifts; have the audience shout out hard to pronounce words; find key verses throughout the chapters, and more!
 
The group will be reading (in rotating order) from the NIV version for better clarity. We plan to continue this study from various books on a monthly basis. For this meeting only, we will allow readers to use their King James Version, also. I have created a curriculum outline to break down and better understand Philippians.
 
We currently have over 50 members signed up! I sure hope they all will attend. Please e-mail me and let me know if you are able to make it.
 
Look forward to seeing you there.
 
Mike

Question About “Love Feasts” Associated with The Lord’s Supper During Saturday Night Sunday School.


bread-2193537_1920.jpg

After looking at the people God destroyed from the earth and our discussion this evening on those who had been sick and others that died in Corinth, my study led me to reading about how an author on the Compelling Truth website sees the early church meals and Lord’s Supper attended by Christians:

It is very likely that the early church fellowship and the Lord’s Supper took place similar to this author’s account and, as a result, many were sick and even died.
