The Purpose of Teaching
The purpose
of teaching goes far beyond the transfer of information—the true purpose of teaching
is to create the potential for improvement in the life of
the one being taught.
Prerequisites
For Teaching
- The teacher must know
something.
- There must be someone willing to be taught.
The Teacher
Self
Preparation
Proverbs
16:23
Psalm 51:7-13
- Make certain that your life is clean before God.
How to Deliver Your Message
Do not try to
show how much you know.
- You will appear arrogant
- Pride of learning
Where gaining the information is of more
value than the application of it.
Do not point
out what they do not know.
- You will appear arrogant.
- The student will feel inferior.
The hearer is threatened.
Simply tell
what God has revealed to you.
- You need to know the information as much as they do.
- Never feel that you will loose credibility because you are
human.
It is often good to display your
humanity so your hearers will not feel quite so threatened.
Be merciful
The Benefits of Teaching
Romans 2:21a
Deuteronomy 5:31
The Student
Deuteronomy
4:1; 28:13
- God always expects those who hear to respond by doing.
You should have the same expectation.
