Awakened to Deliver – The Teaching Ministry, Day 1: What Is a Teacher?Key Verse: Matthew 28:19–20 (NASB 2020) – “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”Episode Highlights• Teachers shape minds, hearts, and destinies—handling God’s Word with both power and responsibility.• James 3:1 warns that teachers are held to stricter judgment because of their influence.• Teaching is not just giving information—it’s leading people into obedience and transformation.• Apollos in Acts 18 shows that true teachers are humble enough to keep learning.• Jesus modeled teaching with authority, rooted in God’s Word (Luke 4:31–32).• Teaching appears as both a spiritual gift (Romans 12:6–7) and a Fivefold office (Ephesians 4:11–12).• A true Teacher is committed to accuracy, diligence, and reliance on the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 2:15).• Teachers must also live what they teach—credibility comes from lifestyle as well as doctrine (Titus 2:7–8).• The heart of teaching is discipleship: moving believers from spiritual milk to maturity (Hebrews 5:12–14).Scripture References• Matthew 28:19–20 – Teaching disciples to obey all Christ commanded.• James 3:1 – Teachers face stricter judgment.• Acts 18:24–26 – Apollos corrected and equipped more accurately.• Luke 4:31–32 – Jesus taught with authority.• Romans 12:6–7 – Teaching as a grace gift.• Ephesians 4:11–12 – The office of Teacher equips the body.• 2 Timothy 2:15 – Accurately handling the Word of Truth.• 1 Corinthians 2:4–5 – Teaching in the Spirit’s power, not human wisdom.• Titus 2:7–8 – Teachers must model what they teach.• Hebrews 5:12–14 – Moving from milk to solid food.Reflection Questions• Do you view teaching as information or transformation?• How can you grow in both knowledge of the Word and obedience to it?• If you are called to teach, are you humbly remaining a student yourself?Stay ConnectedFor more resources, teachings, and ways to partner, visit:👉 Awakened Bible Ministries LinktreeSupport This MinistryThis podcast is listener-supported!

If you teach, do so with humility and accuracy. If you learn under a teacher, put the Word into practice so your life reflects Christ’s truth.
