Episode Synopsis

Awakened to Deliver – The Teaching Ministry, Day 5: How Teachers Equip the BodyKey Verse: Ephesians 4:12–13 (NASB 2020) – “For the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.”Episode Highlights• Teachers equip by building understanding—filling gaps, clarifying Scripture, and making truth applicable (Nehemiah 8:8).• They move believers from milk to meat, helping the Church mature and discern truth from error (Hebrews 5:12–14).• Teachers protect the Body from false doctrine by exhorting in sound teaching and refuting error (Titus 1:9).• True equipping isn’t just about information—it’s about transformation through obedience (Matthew 7:24–25).• Teachers multiply ministry by raising up disciple-makers for future generations (2 Timothy 2:2).• Their role brings unity and stability, ensuring the Body remains grounded in truth and grows into the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13).• Without teachers, the Church lacks stability; with them, it matures into Christlikeness.Scripture References• Nehemiah 8:8 – Explaining Scripture so God’s people understand.• Hebrews 5:12–14 – Moving believers from milk to solid food.• Titus 1:9 – Holding firmly to sound doctrine and refuting those who contradict.• Matthew 7:24–25 – Building life on the rock of obedience to God’s Word.• 2 Timothy 2:2 – Entrusting truth to faithful people who can teach others.• Ephesians 4:13 – Growing into unity, maturity, and the fullness of Christ.Reflection Questions• How has solid biblical teaching equipped you to grow in maturity?• Are you still on “milk,” or are you moving into the deeper truths of God’s Word?• How can you take what you’ve been taught and pass it on to others?Stay ConnectedFind resources, teachings, and ways to partner here:👉 Awakened Bible Ministries LinktreeSupport This MinistryThis podcast is listener-supported.
