THE GIFT OF teaching GRACE

Your contribution to the ministry of God is to make the truth and knowledge about God accessible to all. You have an anointing for breaking confusion and misinformation. You are strategic in helping people know the truth of God and also how it applies to their own life. You have a unique gifting that is essential to the ministry of God.

Here is Dann Farrelly of Bethel Church discussing the role of a Teacher within the fivefold ministry.

TRAITS OF A TEACHER?

  • You are curious for deeper understanding, learning and revelation.

  • You are able to explain complex ideas and concepts in ways people understand.

  • You are the type that will search and research what you don’t understand.

  • You are interested in topics some other people find very boring.

  • You feel like you can see situations clearly and provide clear answers.

  • You feel like you never stop learning.

  • The opportunity to share my perspective excites you.

  • You can feel frustrated when others don’t have the same hunger to learn like you.

Without you

  • Lies are never challenged.

  • People lives never embody the scriptures.

  • People don’t understand why they should change.

  • People are bored with the Bible.

  • People are not curious and hungry to read the Bible.

The Vision for the Teacher

  • Every person can know God’s truth. Every person can be able to understand the Bible. Every person can know how to apply the truth of God to their life.

As you dream, pray and plan, ask yourselves these questions:

  • How do we best accomplish spreading the truth of God?

  • How do we best stir curiosity and desire for the scriptures?

  • How do we best help know how to apply the Bible to their life?

  • How do we best make complex and confusing topics clear?
