A Walk that Serves Teachers Well
Galatians 6:6-10
I. How does a believer serve a teacher well?
1) By being present when the teacher teaches.
2) By being attentive and learning what the teacher would have you learn.
3) By sharing in discussions about what the teacher presents.
4) By passing on or sharing what is learned from the teacher.
5) By supporting and participating with the teacher in his/her full ministry.
6) By supporting the teacher financially.
7) By encouraging others to attend and learn from the teacher.
James 4:17
II. As Christian teachers, what do we teach?
We teach the word of God.
(Reference to the word means the word of God vs. 6)
What will this word do for you?
1) The word meets our greatest needs.
Our greatest needs are not always the needs that are most visible.
Mark 2:1-12 John 4:1-26
2) The word leads to our greatest good. (vs. 10)
Proverbs 3:5-6
When things are not going right (or the way you think they should go), it
doesn't mean that God is not working. Exodus 14
3) The word teaches continual service.
Philippians 1:6 Galatians 6:7-9 1 Corinthians 1:7-9 Psalm 23
Spergun: No one outgrows scripture; it widens and deepens as you grow old.
Our physical and spiritual lives cannot be limited to a check list of events:
Physical Spiritual
Good family Study the Word
Good education Attend church
Good job Sunday school
Good marriage My prayer life
Good retirement
Both lists give us the thought of reaching a goal and a point of rest.
4) The word holds our greatest hope.
Job 13:15 Job 19:25-27 Isaiah 55:11
