Examples of teaching by example
So, in my previous post, I said that “teaching” in the NT sense includes telling, showing, and helping others do. As a friend pointed out, “teaching” also continues to the point where the one learning is also teaching others.
Note, telling someone how to apply (typically called “application” in a sermon or lesson) is just another form of “telling”.
Now, thinking of “teaching” as telling, showing, and helping others do, how would you teach these things?
- Trust (have faith in) God
- Love God
- Love your neighbor
- Make disciples
If there are other examples you’d like to include, feel free to add them.
