1. Inspired Men Gave us Words From God
John 14:26 “He will teach you all things”
1 Corinthians 2:13 “word…which the Holy Spirit teaches…”
We Dare Not let ourselves Forget that the ACTIONS of GODLY MEN reflect the WISDON which comes from GOD!

2. Teach Us To Teach

3. Learn By Association Jesus used parables – Matthew 13
Matthew 7: Wise and Foolish
James 1: Face in a Mirror
Examples that are TRUE and EASISLY UNDERSTOOD
Use Everyday Events that people can Remember and Associate with the Lesson

4. Learn From Where We Are Now
Don’t take gigantic leaps into the unknown
God’s direction in Acts 8:
Vs 26 – Vs 39 the Holy Spirit Guided Philip to Properly Teach
Vs 35 Found him reading from Isaiah he began There and Preached Jesus to him
Where Was This Man?
He was in DOUBT, wondering WHOM the Prophet had in mind

5. Learn From Where We Are Now
Pentecost
Acts 2:22 – Recognized all knew the facts he presented up to that point
Went on to impress upon them the Gospel plan
Stephen
Acts 7 -Took them step by step to their present condition
To Doubt the METHOD is to doubt GOD!

6. Learn What We Need To Fulfill Some Desire Or Need
Must FIRST be convinced that they have a PROBLEM or a NEED which must be satisfied
Then the SOLUTION offered MUST be shown to SOLVE the problem or meet the need
The NEW solution must be SUPERIOR to the PRESENT solution

7. Learn What We Need To Fulfill Some Desire Or Need
Acts 2:
PROBLEM placed upon them is Vs. 36
SOLUTION is found in Vs. 38
RESULTS of this in the same verse “the remission of sins; and you shall receive the give of the Holy Spirit.”

8. Learn What We Need To Fulfill Some Desire Or Need
Acts 3:
PROBLEM placed upon them is Vs. 14
SOLUTION is found in Vs. 19
RESULTS of this in the same verse “that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord”

9. Is It Wrong To Motivate People On The Basis Of Reward and Punishment?
Paul reasoning with Felix-
Acts 24:25 “about righteousness, self control, and the judgment to come”
People need to be TOLD what they are IN FOR if they DON’T OBEY GOD – and what they can REALLY HOPE FOR whenever they DO OBEY HIM!

10. Appeal To Special Interests
Get Their Attention!
Appeal to things Familiar to Them
John 4
Used something she was INTERESTED in to get her attention – John 4:10,13,14

11. Appeal To Special Interests
Acts 17
Confronted “experts” on the subject of gods
Chose one they ADMITTED they did NOT KNOW and introduced Him to them
Look for ways to utilize them to steer them toward Spiritual Matters

12. Teach What The Bible Says
2 Timothy 3:16,17
Teach it the way the Bible demonstrates it being taught
2 Timothy 2:2; Philippians 4:9
When we have Taught the Gospel, the way Holy Spirit led men to do it – leave the rest up to God – 1 Corinthians 3:6

13. UNLESS we Believe That The Gospel is The Power of God Unto Salvation
AND that Obedience to the Gospel is the ONLY WAY people can be SAVED
We CAN NOT be EFFECTIVE TEACHERS of the GOSPEL!
Are YOU willing to let the Bible teach YOU How To Teach Others?
