Preaching Through The NT Effectively With A Bible Timeline
Alas, a large number of preachers and Bible teachers in our churches continue to preach superficial, flimsy, light weight, shallow sermons and their Church members scarcely grow in biblical knowledge and understanding. Preachers love to give us'moral essays' and'warming affirmations' because supposedly, if we love people this is what we'll do. Unfortunate it seems, if God's people are falling through the cracks'for a lack of knowledge' as long as we're positive and loving to all. In reality, the more like the world, the less relevant we're to the world.
Some time ago, I was speaking on the life, resurrection, death and burial of Jesus, and a retired minister and powerful preacher of the Bible, who had been in the ministry for 40 years, marched up and reproved me smartly over some interesting points I made and he referred to 1Ti 1:4'Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.' I quietly asked him if I had been preaching anything of a heretical nature at all, to which he answered"No". I continued on to spell out that in the case of that particular verse, it was not speaking to exploring Scripture but to the false teachings and school of thought of the Gnostics, but he would not have it. So, how can a 40 year preacher & laborer in the Gospel, not understand and know about a thing that probably half the books of the New Testament relate to?
How could he understand and preach the Bible in fullness without knowing about a thing that was so influential in the New Testament church? And then how can the congregation hope to figure out these things and be in a position to interpret their Bible well, if they are not told?
Let's us as tutors and preachers stitch together the fragments of God's Word and God's plan into a complete picture that our people are able to draw on for the remainder of life, to help them to figure out God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and how to better interpret the Bible to model our lives by.
It's not difficult to do, and it's not boring if we're prepared to put in a bit of effort prayer and fervor, and just maybe you can utilize a Bible Timeline too.
