If the ability to study, understand, and respond to God’s truth is one of the greatest joys in life, then the ability and opportunity to communicate that hard-won truth to others is a very close second. Having experienced the transforming power of the Holy Spirit through the understanding and application of God’s word, there is always a contagious ...
The examples we are using in this lesson are taken from three of the predominant genres2in the Bible: (1) expository writing, (2) narrative literature, and (3) poetry. We need to comment on these briefly in order to help you work with and teach these various genres.
B. Study the Passage Using Observations and Questions/Answers
We completed this in the previous lesson. Go there now and review the material if you need to. Think through the words, structure (grammar and literary), mood, as well as the type of literature you’re working with. We gave you a little help above with teaching three different kinds of literature, e.g., expository, narrative, and poetic.
C. State the Subject/Complement:
We said that the subject/complement for John 1:1-18 was something like:The reason that the eternal Word of God became fleshwas so that he might reveal God to all men and that they might believe in him and become God’s children.

Stories “show” their meaning, they don’t generally explain it. They a...
We chose Psalm 23 because it is short and you probably know it fairly well. We will not go into great detail in this section on poetry, but we will show you how we outlined the poem and then how we developed that exegetical outline into a homiletical outline according to the big idea. We followed the same method as with John 1and 9, but we were sen...
We find a warning in James 3:1 that should cause anyone wanting to be a teacher to evaluate the proposition carefully. “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness” (James 3:1 ESV). Those who use the King James Version of the Bible will notice that it has the ...

As groups study together they grow closer and they grow closer to God. Effective teaching helps spiritual growth. When we learn we develop an appetite for learning more.
- The Habit of Preparation. There have been a few times in my life when I began to teach knowing that I was painfully unprepared. I hadn’t spent the time necessary to give people my best.
- The Habit of Love. Excellent Bible teachers cultivate a love for the people whom they teach. They spend time with people and enjoy people. The best teachers make the best spouses, parents, and companions.
- The Habit of Prayer. Love will naturally lead the excellent teacher to pray for those whom they teach. Keeping lists of names and needs, they habitually labor in intercession for others.
- The Habit of Learning. Excellent Bible teachers regularly sharpen the axe of their own teaching. They read those with whom they agree and also those with whom they disagree.
Apr 25, 2022 · Principle #1 — Select Your Starting Point. Effective Bible teaching must have a definite starting point. This is a simple step for expositional teaching.
