The Spiritual Gift of Teaching Defined<\/h2>\n

to instruct others in the Bible in a logical, systematic way so as to communicate pertinent information for true understanding and growth<\/em><\/p>\n

Example of How the Same Gift Can be Used Differently<\/h2>\n

Servant #1:<\/strong>\u00a0 He could almost always be found teaching somewhere … in Sunday School, men’s ministry, small groups, and even from the pulpit.\u00a0 He enjoyed studying the Word to prepare the lessons\u00a0but came alive when he could share what he learned with others, field their questions, and take them to higher levels in their knowledge of God.<\/p>\n

Servant #2:<\/strong>\u00a0 She rarely taught in Sunday School but she had the gift of teaching.\u00a0 It came out in other ways.\u00a0 She led worship in accordance with musical talents she had but didn’t simply lead singing.\u00a0 She taught people how to worship.\u00a0 She started homeschooling her children.\u00a0 She viewed it as a means of discipling\u00a0them and poured everything into it.\u00a0 She gave homeschooling a good name.<\/p>\n

Servant #3:<\/strong>\u00a0 She writes curriculum and training materials for others to use.\u00a0 When she directed children’s ministry, she would often develop the Bible lessons to fit her church’s situation as it was hard to find suitable material.\u00a0 She carefully designed the material to be teacher friendly and to help students understand truth in ways appropriate with their age level.\u00a0 When she would teach Sunday School or Bible studies, she most enjoyed when she could develop her own lessons rather than use pre-written curriculum.<\/p>\n

Each of these servants had the spiritual gift of teaching but enjoyed using it in different ways.\u00a0 One thrived in the classroom where he could interact with people, the other in unconventional or less formal settings, and the third more behind the scenes in developing Bible lessons.<\/p>\n

Lesson to be learned:<\/em><\/p>\n

People with the same gift, even in the same measure, can look very different in the way they use that gift.\u00a0 Personality is a big factor but also heart passions and life experiences.\u00a0 Spiritual gifts are only one piece of the puzzle in forming our best fit in ministry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Ministry<\/a>Get this example of the ways the spiritual gift of teaching can be used, along with 20 other gifts, in the Ministry Handbook: Spiritual Gifts in Use<\/a><\/strong>.
