Teaching Through The NT Powerfully With A Biblical Timeline Chart
Unfortunately, a large number of preachers and Bible teachers in our churches continue to preach superficial, flimsy, shallow, light weight messages and their members barely grow in Bible knowledge and understanding. Preachers love to preach'moral essays' and'warming affirmations' because supposedly, if we really love people this is what we will do. Too bad it seems, if God's men and women are falling through the cracks'for an absence of knowledge' as long as we are nice and loving to all. Truly, the more relevant we become to our world, the less relevant we are to our world.
Years ago, I was teaching on the burial, death, resurrection and life of Jesus, and a retired pastor and strong preacher of the Bible, who had been in the ministry for 40 years, came to me and reproved me smartly over some fascinating points I made and he said 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 humbly asked him if I was teaching anything of a heretical nature in any way, to which he answered"No". I continued to explain that in the case of that particular Scripture, it was not referring to examining Scripture but to the false teachings and philosophy of Gnosticism, but he would not have it. Let me ask, how can a 40 year minister & laborer in the Gospel, not understand and know about something that possibly half the books of the New Testament relate to?
How can he study and preach the Bible fully without being aware of something that was so influential in the New Testament church? And then how can the congregation hope to comprehend these things and be in a position to interpret their Bible properly, if they're not told?
Let's us as tutors and preachers stitch together the aspects of God's Word and His plan into a seamless tapestry that our people are able to draw on for the rest of life, helping them to comprehend God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and ways to better interpret the Bible to order our lives by.
It's not hard to do, and it's not boring if we are prepared to put in a bit of study and prayer and fervor, and just maybe you can use a Bible Timeline too.
