Great Bible Teaching Flows from Life in Christ

Are study and teaching tactics important? Yes.

Is good content organization important. Yes.

But the most important thing is to be connected with Jesus. (John 15:5)

Consider this post from the Biblical Preaching blog:

“We shall never have great preachers until we have great divines.” That was
C.H.Spurgeon’s opinion. In the busy world we now inhabit, a world of phone
calls, emergencies, emails, travel, financial complexities, family
responsibilities and ministerial intricacies, we need to freshly recommit
ourselves to the core vision of the preacher. Our core vision is not a
philosophy of ministry, a theological stance or sense of calling. Our core
vision is God Himself.

We have the privilege of being so captivated by
the greatness and grace of our Lord that every moment of our lives is lived in
the shadow, no the glory, of that vision. A deep awareness of who God is will
continue to drive us back to His Word, diligently pursuing more of Him so that
we might respond further. This is not about discipline and effort, this is about
delight and response. We dive into His Word so that we might see Him more
clearly, be captured more fully, and be stirred more deeply. Then we will preach
more effectively.

Our preaching should flow from a personal intimacy
with God and a personal commitment to His Word. That is what our people need.

This is true for great Bible teachers like you, too! Create the time and space today in your life to reconnect with Jesus.
