======================================================================== TEACHERS by John Follette ======================================================================== Summary: Paul's role as a teacher was driven by a profound urge to share the Truth and bring people into a new realm of Spirit with contact with God. Topics: "Christian Teaching", "Spiritual Growth" Scripture References: Proverbs 9:9, Matthew 28:19, Ephesians 4:11, 2 Timothy 2:2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Follette emphasizes the profound role of teaching in Paul's ministry, highlighting how Paul's missionary work was driven by his passion as a teacher. Early teachers introduced people to a new realm of Spirit and contact with God, providing knowledge, Truth, and revelation to feed and instruct the Body of believers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The reason why Paul taught as earnestly as he did, was because his great field was that of a teacher. He was a missionary -- that was the external manifestation of the work which he did, but underneath all of that, there was the most profound urge and drive in that man as a teacher; absolutely! What did those early teachers teach? They introduced the people into a new realm of Spirit with contact with God. The Jews hadn't had that in the old order. Teachers were chosen, illuminated spirits, with personality gifts; illuminated in the field of spiritual reality. Their ministry was to bring from that field the knowledge, the Truth, the revelation; all that would feed this Body; instruct it; give it its place. ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/john-follette/teachers/ ========================================================================
