  1. Preach the Word What the New Testament Teaches About Preaching and Teaching God’s Word in Worship to God

  2. Preaching and Teaching Basics • New Testament churches assembled together to hear God’s word proclaimed (Acts 2:42; 20:7; 1 Cor. 14:4,5,12,19,23,28,33,34,35; “church” here = “assembly”) • New Testament churches had teachers (Acts 13:1; 1 Cor. 12:28-29; Eph. 4:11-12; Heb. 5:12)

  3. Preaching and Teaching Basics • God’s word was read publically in the assembly (Col. 4:16; 1 Thess. 5:27; Rev. 1:3; 1 Tim. 4:13; see NRSV; see Neh. 8:8 in the LXX) • Public reading and exposition of the Bible text was patterned after the practice of public reading in the synagogue (Lk. 4:16; Acts 13:15,27; 15:21; 2 Cor. 3:14-15)

  4. How Can We Improve OurPreaching and Teaching God’s Word? • Remember the purpose of preaching is not to entertain, but to change (Acts 14:15), to save (1 Cor. 1:21), and to mature (Col. 1:23,28) • Remember what is preached is not human wisdom, but God’s word (1 Cor. 2:1-5; 2 Tim. 4:2) • Remember, we are reading the very words of God – show reverence and worship (Neh. 8:5-6)

  5. How Can We Improve OurPreaching and Teaching God’s Word? • Keep preaching and teaching a high priority in the assembly for the sake of our salvation (1 Tim. 4:16) • Come prepared to receive and accept God’s word (Jas. 1:19-22; 1 Pet. 2:1-2) • Read and examine the Bible text as it is read, take notes (Acts 17:11) [ Parents, encourage your children at an early age to read their own Bible! ]
