Let me stress this to those of you who want to teach the Bible to change lives: worship before you teach.
It's true that our whole lives should be worshipful. (Equally true that they aren't.)
Before you begin teaching a class or leading a small group discussion about God's truth, create some time and space for personal worship. Consciously reconnect with God through praise and celebration! Listen to music, sing songs, pray aloud with hands raised high, whatever you can do, but get your whole mind and heart and body engaged in worship that pleases God.
Having worshipped the living God, your teaching can flow from that. And that's teaching that can change lives!

Exactly, when I spend time worshiping before I speak my words are always more impacting...
Amen! How foolish to not have in our minds and heart the awesomeness and wonderfulness of the God we're teaching about.
