Edwards, like a true brother in the faith, encouraged me countless times to keep plow after plow. I would also be remiss if I did not also thank those men who served as my peer review board.
INTRODUCTION
Faithfulness to the message of Christ and stability in the face of error is the result if the teaching of the Word prospers. Equally important in the coming days will be the teachers of the Word of God who.
Introduction and Theological Foundations Theological Foundations
At the beginning of the first session, students were pre-assigned to an individual student provided by my assistant. This allowed me to remain blind to the source of the feedback as the students remained anonymous. In addition to this number of students, the students were also digitally handed a course syllabus, which was again distributed at the beginning of the first lesson.
Genre, Words, and Arguments
The third step for the class was to emphasize that not only the form of writing matters, but also the words themselves, especially in how they are used. The class then practiced scanning the parameters of their passages, and dividing their passages into statements and phrases. At the end of this class, I assigned them specific teaching passages.9 In addition to this, I also introduced a class passage, Ephesians 6:1-9, for which the class would work through the steps of preparation to teach together.
Historical and Literary Context
At the end of this class, and in preparation for the next, students were encouraged to research the background, the author, the general theme of the book in which their specific passage is found. Likewise, they were encouraged to note any historical threads in their passage that would warrant further investigation. Finally, they were also encouraged to make an effort to skim, stitch and summarize the entire book in which their passage was placed.
Theological Considerations
This lesson ended by encouraging the students to continue working on the assigned passages and asking if there were any theological concerns that needed their attention.
Meaning
This timeless truth can be difficult to determine and is best sought by carefully examining not only the fallen state of transition presented, but also the redemptive focus. The last part of this lecture dealt with taking the contextualized meaning and now timeless principle of the passage into the listener's world. This act of creating a single central idea was labeled as creation in this class.
The Outline and Beyond
Finally, the class was encouraged to work on three or four message statements that would accurately describe what they would learn. This lesson ended with the instruction that students now work to construct an outline that, from the text, is accurate, relevant to their message, clear and simple, and direct to their audience. At this point in the course, the class portion had served its purpose, and students began working exclusively on their passages.
Illustrating and Applying
The discussion on mechanics moved forward in the description and practice of the act of blocking Scripture by marking transitions. By articulating both the importance and practicality of a lesson's message, the app responds to the "So what?" and "Now what?" of the text. 19 I have chosen what are understood to be four of the most common: auditory (learning by listening), visual (learning by seeing or observing), intrapersonal (learning by self-study), and kinesthetic (learning by doing or practicing).
Final Words
The second half of this class focused on broad truths that a teacher of the Bible needs to be constantly reminded of. The goal of this step was to evaluate the effectiveness of the class in training lay leaders within the HBC to teach the Bible. In the fifth grade, I introduced an illustration of a ring to demonstrate what Bible teachers should pursue in study.

How Do the Words Fit Together?
Compare your passage in at least two other translations (suggested: NASB, CSB, NIV, or KJV). Information about the historical background can certainly enrich our understanding of individual passages of the Bible, making it more precise and illustrative.

It can help identify tensions, but it can also tempt you to resolve them too quickly. It can help you align your text with others, and it can also lead you to develop your own "canon within a canon." It can directly address contemporary issues, but it can also more easily overlook the text because it moves further away from it.

And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them in all the scriptures the things pertaining to himself. Thus they approached the village to which they were going. Remember, I cannot teach the Bible unless I teach Christ, and I cannot teach Christ unless He is glorious to me. Message Formulating a biblical concept in such a way that it both accurately represents and inculturates its meaning in the Bible.
What Does it Mean?
Instead, we try to discover the meaning the author gave it.74. The question of cultural relevance is important because of the two tasks of the interpreter: to determine what the text meant to its immediate readers in that cultural setting, and to determine what the text means to us now in our context.”75. 34 Or what woman who has ten silver coins and loses one coin does not light a lamp and sweep the house clean and seek diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors and says, "Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost." Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

Each passage of the Bible touches on some aspect of the fallen human condition and presents a part of God's remedy in Christ.

We will not consider our class and therefore we will not build our lesson around them at all. We will think that the application is very obvious, so we will not learn how to apply the truths to our class. You know your people's history You know your people's situations You know your people's struggles.
