Teaching Through The Bible Powerfully Using A Bible Timeline
Unfortunately, a numerous preachers and teachers in our churches go on and preach superficial, shallow, flimsy, light weight messages and their members barely grow in biblical knowledge and understanding. Preachers love to preach'moral essays' and'warming affirmations' because supposedly, if we truly love people this is what we'll do. Too bad it seems, if God's men and women are falling through the cracks'for a lack of knowledge' as long as we are nice and loving to all. In reality, the more relevant we become to this world, the less relevant we are to this world.
Years ago, I was preaching on the resurrection, burial, death and life of Christ Jesus, and a retired minister and powerful preacher of the Bible, who had been in the ministry for forty years, came to me and reproved me smartly over some fascinating points I made and he remarked 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 to explain that in the case of that particular Scripture, it wasn't referring to exploring Scripture but to the false teaching and school of thought of the Gnostics, but he would not accept it. Let me ask, how can a forty year minister & worker in the Gospel, not understand and know about something that possibly 1/2 the books of the New Testament discuss?
How can he study and preach the Bible fully without being familiar with something that was so influential in the New Testament church? And then how can the congregation hope to comprehend these things and be able to interpret their Bible properly, if they are not informed?
Let's us as tutors and preachers sew together the aspects of the Bible and His plan into a logical whole that our people can draw on for the rest of their lives, to help them to comprehend God, His Eternal Plan, the role of the Church and ways to better interpret the Bible to model our lives by.
It's not hard to do, and it's not boring if we are prepared to put in a bit of effort prayer and fervor, and just possibly you can employ a Bible Timeline as well.
