Bible Teaching Skills Needed

Share:

To provide Bible teachers with curriculum and expect them to effectively teach without providing training on how to teach the Bible not only is a disservice to the teachers but also to the students and ultimately the glory of God.

Bible teachers need to have a sense of accountability both for what they teach and how they teach it.

Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. (James 3:1)

Bible teachers need to know how to prepare a lesson so they accurately present truth to students.

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. (2 Tim. 2:15)

Bible teachers need to teach in ways that glorify God.

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. (1 Cor. 10:31)

Much more goes into Bible teaching than following a lesson plan. Bible teachers need training on a variety of teaching skills. A good curriculum might include some age level tips or how to implement the teaching methods or visual aids used in the lesson. But what about the following? (Clicking on the following links will take you to pages with resources on these topics.)

Even people who taught for years in the public school setting should be trained to teach the Bible. Here’s why:

  1. The Bible is a unique Book, different from textbooks for teaching math, science, history, etc.

A Lesson Worth Teaching Workbook gets into some of the uniqueness.

  1. The aim of Bible teaching differs from that of teaching general education subjects.

Teaching for Changed Lives Workbook examines the goal and suggest how to get there.

  1. The source and model of creative teaching must be the Lord to make an eternal difference.

Creative Bible Teaching with Results Workbook uses God’s creativity in the creation of this world as an example.

To be sure, teachers will be at different places in their teaching skills both in terms of their level of mastery and particular skills needing to be enriched. A teacher training plan that looks at individual teacher needs and tailors training to them, will be most effective.
