Many have attended classes to learn how to teach, many learned from each other. Religion can be confusing, and the world is big, and there are so many sources but the bible is my only source of learning interweaved with prayer. When one represents God it should be acceptable to God. This is a scripture that every teacher should acknowledge. Our job is to take care of the sheep, everyone should apply God’s word to their life, to apply means to take action, seek out. To truly teach is to find the best we will find that a wise person lives with eternity values. The scriptures give us eternity values, a sermon should never be rushed, it should always be much thought and care taken. This is God we are speaking for, we should show the world how awesome the creator truly is.
