The Bible is our rule of faith and Christ alone is Lord. This statement guides our Iives and directs our paths as the Church of God. From the Word we hear the call of God. He sends us to do His will and He equips us to answer His call. The gift of the Spirit manifests itself in our work for Him as spiritual gifts. One is the gift of teaching.
I was a teacher before I was a preacher. I was a preacher before I was a pastor. The Scripture names one of the spiritual gifts as pastor-teacher. As I have used my time preaching and pastoring, I have never forgotten my first call - that of teaching. What does it mean to have the Spirit-given capacity to teach? And how is the gift used in God's church? These questions and others I will deal with here.
