Candidate Seminar - Day 8

Today the main session was on dynamic Bible teaching techniques. We also had other training sessions.

The sessionp on teaching techniques was excellent. The Bible is deap and rich, and I'm guilty of making it boring or relating it in a way that is not relevant to the listeners.

The "suprcultural" truth of scripture needs to be communicated in a way that is apropriate to the culture of the listener. The truth doesn't change, but the methods of delivering it do.

Any message, no matter how life changing, can be communicated in a way that is boring or even incomprehensable. It was challenging to learn techniques to communicate the life saving message of the Bible.
