A few Sundays ago, June 10th to be exact, I had the privilege of teaching the Adult Sunday School class at our church.
I taught on the following passage:
2 Timothy 2:1-22:1 You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, 2 and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. (ESV)
I’ve been meaning to post the audio and put together a transcript, but I’ve been so swamped that the transcript will have to wait.
In the meantime, you can download the audio here.
Preparation for teaching is always at the same time a wonderful and troubling experience. Wonderful because there is nothing better than digging deeply in God’s truth; troubling because it’s always very convicting and magnifies my own sin and negligence at the same time.
The summary version of the lesson was this:
Learn the Gospel and learn to be a disciple, and teach others. It’s the only way to sustain the church, and to grow God’s kingdom. Otherwise, we fall away from His truth and rely instead on our own ideas, instead of His.
