Hi, Pastor Dan Cu here greeting you a blessed day which God has made for you and for your loved ones. May the joy of the Lord and the blessings of the Almighty God be upon you as you watch this short very useful video. Hallelujah!
Do you know HOW TO TEACH HOME BIBLE STUDY COURSE EFFECTIVELY? Did you know that The Greatest Teacher and you be the greatest combination?
We can see the command of our Lord Jesus Christ which He initially had given to His Apostles saying in Matthew 28:19-20 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen”.
Have you read Romans 10:13-17 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
In Matthew 9:35-36 “And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
But who shall go and become a laborer in God’s field? Please intently and seriously read Isaiah 6:8; “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
The Greatest Teacher . . .
. . . on earth was Jesus Christ. His life and words teach us how to live. So intriguing were His new concepts, many forsook their careers and lifestyles to follow everywhere He went.
His words were certain to evoke a response from listeners. All were profoundly affected by His tender, yet powerful manner of teaching.
But the Greatest Teacher did not complete the task He began, purposely for us to study His ways to be able to share to others the salvation which was provided by Him. Into our hands fell the responsibility of continuing Christ’s mission on earth. You and I have been entrusted with the blessed obligation to study His Words and share to everybody in this last generation!
Such a successful Teacher merits our attention. Let’s examine the methods found in His personal textbook, the Bible.
We often assume that a great teacher must possess charisma, a head full of knowledge and fantastic lesson plans. However, Christ prescribed none of these qualities when encouraging His followers to spread the Word. His method was simple . . . so simple that we stumble over it in search of a more dramatic way.
We often seek the fantastic, the phenomenal. We dream of great methods, grandiose ideas and impressive projects.
So did the demoniac of Gadara whom Christ delivered. He was so impressed that he wanted to get into the ship with Jesus and sail to faraway places. But Christ had a better idea: “Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee” (Mark 5:19).
Fulfilling your Bible study mission may not be as complicated as imagined. The key to success may lie in following Christ’s prescribed method: “Go home and tell thy friends.”
Much of the Bible is written in narrative form. It is descriptive, interesting and beautiful. Yet it is always open, clear and direct. A Bible study can be taught in a home with God’s Word, the Search for Truth charts, and relating the story. Simple!
How do I prepare my Bible study? Christ, the Greatest Teacher, spent weeks in the wilderness preparing for His teaching ministry. If He needed adequate preparation, how much more should we!
The Bible and the Search For Truth #2 Manual will be your most valuable tools.
Glancing through your new Manual, you will discover many exciting concepts designed to aid your study preparation.
Remember, the Manual is an aid— not just a script to be read. You will also discover that the twelve lesson texts are very lengthy. The wealth of information included in each lesson is designed for you to read, digest, and retain. Please understand that time will not permit you to study all the material given in a single lesson.
The writers have purposely included additional material for your benefit. A student should always know how to study better. Dale Carnegie, founder of the Carnegie Institute for Public Speaking, makes a valid point. He insists that effective public speakers should know forty times as much about their subject as they actually use! Be an “authority” on each lesson by reviewing it … Again and again! By developing that priceless asset known as “reserve power,” your studies become more effective.
Be selective in your studies. Since every fact in the text obviously cannot be covered, customize your attention to fit your needs. Think about yourself for a moment. Have you already received salvation? Do you have any previous Bible knowledge? Are you an adult or a teenager?
Each group differs according to background, culture, education, and age. Be sensitive to your comprehension and acceptance levels. Set a slower pace or divide lessons, if necessary— especially Lesson Nine. Analyze your audience and emphasize needed principles.
Keep your vocabulary simple. Never assume that students are acquainted with even the most familiar Bible stories.
Unfamiliar terms, such as atonement, remission, repentance, spiritual circumcision, saints, covenant, redemption, and others should not be used without clear definitions.
Strive to cover the major concepts illustrated on the charts, including only as many details as time permits. Since some charts are more involved than others, plan your lesson accordingly.
Watch the time. Don’t study too long. Forty five minutes per session is enough. If you do not finish the material, continue the next time according to your preference.
At the beginning of each session, pray to the Lord, review charts from the previous session, or those which may establish the topic you are going to study. As you point to the illustrations, make brief comments. Such review will help refresh your memories and will get your mind in gear to begin studying.
A wealth of Scripture references are included on each chart. You may read all the scriptures during the study. Or, make yourself some notes you write while studying, or a Study Sheet that provides a lesson outline and appropriate Scripture references. You may study your self-made outline sheet between sessions.
Study the lessons in their designed, logical sequence. Should you skip around, an incomplete picture may be formed in your mind. Lesson One immediately establishes the authenticity of the Word of God. Remember, the first lesson makes a lasting impression that sets the mood for the entire series. Make every effort to make it exciting, informative and intriguing. Astounding discoveries are daily occurring around our globe to validate the truth of God’s Word!
Enjoy this lesson! Impress upon yourself that you will study the Bible independently of all religious groups. Nor will any derogatory statements be made against any church denomination. The Bible will be the sole authority. This is the prime rule for the entire series.
Prepare brief notes on a sheet of paper or index cards to prompt your memory. Place them inside your Bible for occasional reference. Closely examine the charts as you study and relate them with the lesson material. As you become more familiar with the lessons, the illustrations will prompt your memory and notes will not be needed. Study the emphasized important points appropriately.
Don’t be easily become bored throughout the study. Reading your lesson aloud can keep you awake, too! Likewise, never memorize the material word for word. While under stress, it is easy to forget and disrupt the whole thought process. If you like to, many busy students consider the Cell phone recorder a priceless aid for home Bible study. Why not record each lesson on your Cell phone as you read it directly from the manual. Listen to it over and over en route to work or during lunch break. Hearing a tape once or twice a day will help implant the lesson in your mind. You might also tape an actual reading session to evaluate and improve your studies.
Before embarking on His three-year ministry, the Greatest Teacher retreated into the wilderness for forty days of fasting and prayer. Here was the real secret of His impressive ministry. Never underestimate the importance of prayer and fasting in your preparation to study the Word of God! You should “feel” the love of God flowing through you.
This is possible only through consistent, daily prayer in behalf of your Bible study. Fasting one day per week coupled with prayer will generate divine power and spark an anointing in your studies.
Dedicated prayer and fasting give birth to a “burden” or deep concern for others to become a Bible student too, like you. Acquiring a burden for others ensures the blessings of God upon your Bible study. You will be so eager for yourself, your family, and others to accept salvation, you will do anything to prompt that response! Studying the Bible drains physical strength. Replenish that strength with prayer power!
Soon you will discover prayer has become a joy—not a drudgery! Like a gushing stream, a burden will flood your prayers, bringing tears, supplication and intercession for your needs and for others as well.
A burden enables you to talk from your heart— not from the manual. You will be studying “from the inside out.” When an invisible love and compassion are flowing, you will be affected far beyond the ability of mere words.
A sincere burden also affects the attitude. Rather than thinking, “I’m going to prove my point!” or “I’m going to show these folks where they have been wrong!”, you will feel a genuine desire to encourage yourself and others to continue the Christian walk.
Determine that your studies will build a bridge of love! Feel inadequate, incapable, and helpless to meet your new challenge? You need not. Remember, you have Help. You are a co-partner of God’s team. And that’s a winning combination!— Jesus Christ the Greatest Teacher . . . and you!
I hope you can hear and feel God’s calling in your life. Please remember: To be a servant of God is the highest and most noble Profession of all. Let’s be servants of the Lord Jesus Christ this endtime by helping people come to Him and get reconciled with God before it will be too late… God bless you.
