Workshop Overview ___________________ 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Matthew 28:19-20 __________________ If you can do these three things, you can teach a study: 1. Read a Scripture (that you have underlined in your Bible). 2. Ask a question (that you have written in the margin). 3. Turn to the next page (whose number you have written in the margin).
Northwest Church of Christ believes we should: *Speak where the Bible speaks. *Be silent where the Bible is silent.
Bible Study Method: *Use just the Bible and a pad of paper. *No tracts or brochures, etc. Only the student, teacher and a silent partner (to take notes for the student to keep) are involved in the study.
The verses flow in orderly fashion and discuss: *Authority of the Scriptures *Difference between Old and New Testaments *Necessity of Christ’s blood *Gospel Plan of Salvation
*Organization of the church *How to worship *What the Bible teaches about Christian living
Teaching ability is of little importance. *Scriptures teach and convict honest hearts. *Simple, Short, Systematic and Scriptural *One congregation wrote, "This method is simple and exciting because we are able to see results by almost everyone who tries to teach.”
At your workshop we will: *Teach your Sunday morning class: “Should We Teach?” *Preach your Sunday morning sermon: “The Challenge of Evangelism.” *During the 2 ½ to 3 hour afternoon workshop we will: >Show you how to mark your Bibles, teach the study and ask for obedience. >Conduct a demonstration study. >Show you how to ask people to study.
Costs to your congregation: *We neither expect nor will accept a stipend or honorarium. *We hope you can reimburse our cost of $6 for each King James Bible. *We hope you can reimburse our cost for two airline tickets if you are not within driving range.
