00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,704
Hello and welcome to the
Middletown Baptist Church podcast,

2
00:00:03,832 --> 00:00:06,500
where we are proclaiming the
truth to the world.

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,712
In this podcast series, we're
going to be looking into biblical

4
00:00:10,776 --> 00:00:14,140
words that have great
significance to our faith.

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,808
The name of this series is
called the Word of the Week, where

6
00:00:18,864 --> 00:00:22,888
once a week we will dive
deeper into these words that we are

7
00:00:22,944 --> 00:00:24,780
familiar with in Scripture.

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,376
So come along with me.

9
00:00:26,448 --> 00:00:29,010
Let's study the Word of the week.

10
00:00:29,950 --> 00:00:31,270
Pastor Josh here.

11
00:00:31,390 --> 00:00:33,190
The Word of the Week is gifts.

12
00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:36,310
Again, we are studying the
gifts that God gives us in our life

13
00:00:36,430 --> 00:00:39,062
so that we may serve him to
the best of our ability.

14
00:00:39,206 --> 00:00:41,910
And we've been looking at that
list in Romans chapter 12.

15
00:00:41,950 --> 00:00:44,774
If you've been following along
with this series, we've gone over

16
00:00:44,942 --> 00:00:48,598
so far two different gifts
that God has given us.

17
00:00:48,654 --> 00:00:51,606
The first gift we talked about
was the gift of prophecy or the gift

18
00:00:51,638 --> 00:00:54,850
of proclaiming the truth of
God to the world.

19
00:00:55,300 --> 00:01:00,108
And that is done through
preaching and through proclaiming

20
00:01:00,284 --> 00:01:01,964
different elements of Scripture.

21
00:01:02,092 --> 00:01:05,228
But we also looked at last
week the gift of service.

22
00:01:05,284 --> 00:01:06,444
And that's a broad category.

23
00:01:06,492 --> 00:01:09,772
That's a category that we can
see lived out in the church in many

24
00:01:09,796 --> 00:01:10,700
different ways.

25
00:01:10,860 --> 00:01:13,996
The Bible says to minister one
to another, but then we get to Romans

26
00:01:14,028 --> 00:01:17,916
chapter 12, and we see the
next gift that's given to believers

27
00:01:17,948 --> 00:01:18,764
there for service.

28
00:01:18,852 --> 00:01:21,040
And that is the gift of teaching.

29
00:01:21,370 --> 00:01:25,906
It says there in verse number
eight, he that teacheth on teaching.

30
00:01:26,098 --> 00:01:29,666
And so the Bible clearly tells
us that there is a spiritual gift

31
00:01:29,698 --> 00:01:33,394
of teaching given to
individuals to teach elements of

32
00:01:33,402 --> 00:01:33,890
Scripture.

33
00:01:33,970 --> 00:01:38,674
So there's the proclamation of
the truth of God, and then there's

34
00:01:38,722 --> 00:01:42,370
the teaching or the
explanation of the truth of God.

35
00:01:42,530 --> 00:01:43,250
And so there.

36
00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:46,594
There is that need for
proclamation, but there also is a

37
00:01:46,602 --> 00:01:47,990
need for explanation.

38
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,312
And the Bible tells us that
there is an importance to teaching

39
00:01:52,376 --> 00:01:53,816
within the body of believers.

40
00:01:53,848 --> 00:01:56,344
And some people are gifted in
that way.

41
00:01:56,512 --> 00:01:59,592
Some people are supernaturally
gifted to explain Scripture and make

42
00:01:59,616 --> 00:02:04,440
it very clear for individuals
to understand how to apply these

43
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,580
truths of God.

44
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,872
And so we think about other
passages of Scripture in the New

45
00:02:08,896 --> 00:02:10,360
Testament that talk about teaching.

46
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,312
And one that would hopefully
come to our minds is the passage

47
00:02:14,376 --> 00:02:17,990
at the end of Matthew,
Matthew, chapter 28, what we call

48
00:02:18,030 --> 00:02:19,170
the Great Commission.

49
00:02:19,550 --> 00:02:22,470
And the Great Commission tells
us to do a few different things.

50
00:02:22,510 --> 00:02:22,726
It's.

51
00:02:22,758 --> 00:02:27,750
It's proclaiming the truth of
God to a world that needs salvation.

52
00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:31,526
But we also do know that there
is that element of teaching included

53
00:02:31,558 --> 00:02:31,750
there.

54
00:02:31,790 --> 00:02:35,446
And so if you have your Bibles
or if you have some sort of device

55
00:02:35,478 --> 00:02:37,862
that you can follow along with
me, I'D like you to turn there with

56
00:02:37,886 --> 00:02:39,650
me to Matthew, chapter 28.

57
00:02:39,950 --> 00:02:43,382
Just as Jesus is about to
ascend into heaven, he speaks to

58
00:02:43,406 --> 00:02:46,144
the disciples about the power
that's given to him.

59
00:02:46,342 --> 00:02:50,268
And he then challenges his
followers to go.

60
00:02:50,404 --> 00:02:51,724
He says, go ye, therefore.

61
00:02:51,772 --> 00:02:56,220
And then the next thing we see
here is the word teach and teach

62
00:02:56,300 --> 00:03:00,012
all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father and of the

63
00:03:00,036 --> 00:03:01,036
Son and of the Holy Ghost.

64
00:03:01,068 --> 00:03:02,396
So what are we going to teach them?

65
00:03:02,548 --> 00:03:05,308
What's, what's the need for
teaching within the Church?

66
00:03:05,404 --> 00:03:08,988
It says very clearly here,
teaching them to observe all things

67
00:03:09,044 --> 00:03:10,492
whatsoever I have commanded you.

68
00:03:10,516 --> 00:03:13,668
And lo, I am with you always,
even to the end of the world.

69
00:03:13,804 --> 00:03:16,420
And so what are we supposed to
teach within the Church?

70
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:20,276
Teaching folks how to observe
the things that have been commanded

71
00:03:20,308 --> 00:03:20,996
to us in Scripture.

72
00:03:21,028 --> 00:03:25,348
How to obey Christ, how to
obey His Word, how to live out His

73
00:03:25,404 --> 00:03:27,412
Word in the world.

74
00:03:27,596 --> 00:03:30,564
And so the Bible does teach us
in a few different passages in the

75
00:03:30,572 --> 00:03:34,948
New Testament, the way that we
prove our love for God is by obedience,

76
00:03:35,044 --> 00:03:38,724
is by living out the things
that are given to us in Scripture.

77
00:03:38,772 --> 00:03:41,460
So somebody needs to
understand that, to live it.

78
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:44,772
And so part of the teacher and
part of the role of the teacher would

79
00:03:44,796 --> 00:03:49,172
be to explain to people what
it means to understand the Word and

80
00:03:49,196 --> 00:03:51,012
what it means to live out the Word.

81
00:03:51,156 --> 00:03:52,804
And Scripture is our source.

82
00:03:52,852 --> 00:03:56,260
We don't take other sources
outside of Scripture and use that

83
00:03:56,300 --> 00:03:57,556
as our teaching material.

84
00:03:57,668 --> 00:03:59,000
We use scripture.

85
00:03:59,340 --> 00:04:03,812
Second Timothy 3, 16 says, all
scripture is given by inspiration

86
00:04:03,876 --> 00:04:09,182
of God and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction,

87
00:04:09,326 --> 00:04:11,070
for instruction in righteousness.

88
00:04:11,230 --> 00:04:15,806
And so we know that the
Scriptures are given to us to teach

89
00:04:15,838 --> 00:04:18,334
us, that's the first thing,
doctrine, what to believe.

90
00:04:18,502 --> 00:04:23,278
But then you know, where we're
wrong, how we can fix that, and really

91
00:04:23,334 --> 00:04:26,690
where we can walk in the truth
of God.

92
00:04:27,190 --> 00:04:31,214
And so the Bible tells us to
go, to preach the gospel, to teach

93
00:04:31,262 --> 00:04:35,450
the gospel, but to teach how
we can live out Scripture in our

94
00:04:35,490 --> 00:04:36,122
lives.

95
00:04:36,306 --> 00:04:38,234
And teaching is done in a few
different manners.

96
00:04:38,282 --> 00:04:40,970
Obviously, teaching can be
done in a classroom.

97
00:04:41,050 --> 00:04:43,910
It can be done in a setting
where there's a group.

98
00:04:44,450 --> 00:04:48,010
It's mostly done through what
is said, how it's explained, but

99
00:04:48,050 --> 00:04:51,642
also teaching can be done
through lifestyle.

100
00:04:51,706 --> 00:04:54,090
Teaching can be done through
the way that we live our lives, because

101
00:04:54,130 --> 00:04:59,870
it is a message that's heard a
lot more when it comes to application,

102
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:03,236
when we walk the walk and not
just talk the talk.

103
00:05:03,308 --> 00:05:07,012
So, right, I can teach all day
about the truth of God, but the application

104
00:05:07,076 --> 00:05:10,980
is going to miss if I don't
back it up with what I live by now.

105
00:05:11,020 --> 00:05:12,052
Nobody's perfect in that.

106
00:05:12,076 --> 00:05:16,436
But a teacher is a lot more
effective when he or she can demonstrate

107
00:05:16,468 --> 00:05:20,036
the truth that they're
teaching, not just by word, but also.

108
00:05:20,108 --> 00:05:21,060
Indeed.

109
00:05:21,220 --> 00:05:24,404
And so there's a few other
passages that talk about teaching,

110
00:05:24,452 --> 00:05:28,446
obviously more than we could
go over in this short amount of time.

111
00:05:28,598 --> 00:05:31,838
But one that I really
appreciate is a passage in second

112
00:05:31,894 --> 00:05:32,382
Timothy.

113
00:05:32,446 --> 00:05:36,494
Second Timothy, chapter two
tells us another directive when it

114
00:05:36,502 --> 00:05:38,158
comes to that area of teaching.

115
00:05:38,334 --> 00:05:44,302
And so God gives us the
example, God gives us the practice,

116
00:05:44,366 --> 00:05:47,550
the practicality of this, and
he gives us what the outcome should

117
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,990
look like within the church.

118
00:05:49,150 --> 00:05:53,784
Second Timothy, chapter two,
it says in verse one, thou, therefore,

119
00:05:53,832 --> 00:05:57,592
my son, be strong in the grace
that is in Christ Jesus.

120
00:05:57,656 --> 00:06:02,904
Meaning Paul is talking to
Timothy here, his son in the faith,

121
00:06:02,952 --> 00:06:07,832
and he says, hey, as you
pastor this church, as you minister,

122
00:06:08,016 --> 00:06:12,472
you know, rely on the strength
of God, the grace of God, and then

123
00:06:12,496 --> 00:06:15,016
he says, and the things that
thou has heard of me.

124
00:06:15,088 --> 00:06:18,940
So, so Paul talks about what
he has taught to Timothy.

125
00:06:19,310 --> 00:06:22,726
So, so we see the element of
the teacher teaching the student.

126
00:06:22,918 --> 00:06:26,998
It says, and the things which
thou has heard of me among many witnesses.

127
00:06:27,094 --> 00:06:28,966
So there's not just Timothy
here that's learned.

128
00:06:28,998 --> 00:06:34,006
It's, it's the corporate
group, the same commit thou to faithful

129
00:06:34,038 --> 00:06:37,926
men, meaning as I have taught
you, so you teach others.

130
00:06:37,998 --> 00:06:41,702
And that's really the goal of
teaching is it's not just to impart

131
00:06:41,766 --> 00:06:45,188
knowledge upon someone's life,
which that is an element of teaching,

132
00:06:45,294 --> 00:06:48,600
but it's also to train people
to teach the same things to other

133
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:48,888
people.

134
00:06:48,944 --> 00:06:49,160
Right?

135
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,720
And that's how the
discipleship process goes within

136
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:52,104
the church.

137
00:06:52,152 --> 00:06:56,488
And so God has gifted certain
individuals to teach within the church

138
00:06:56,584 --> 00:07:00,152
so that those people who are
learning can then turn around and

139
00:07:00,176 --> 00:07:02,728
teach those other people that
are in the church.

140
00:07:02,824 --> 00:07:03,240
And there.

141
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:04,168
And there's more here.

142
00:07:04,224 --> 00:07:07,940
So he says, I teach you so
that you teach others.

143
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,208
And then he goes on to say,
who shall be able to teach others

144
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:11,528
also?

145
00:07:11,584 --> 00:07:15,328
And so we see that progression
going down the line as one person

146
00:07:15,384 --> 00:07:18,832
teaches another person, then
that person teaches another person.

147
00:07:18,936 --> 00:07:21,040
And it goes on and on and on.

148
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,296
And so that's what's been
happening here for, for thousands

149
00:07:25,328 --> 00:07:25,680
of years.

150
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,568
And that's what will continue
to happen as the church moves forward,

151
00:07:29,624 --> 00:07:34,272
is that God gives us his word
and then teachers will teach his

152
00:07:34,296 --> 00:07:37,808
words as people, and the
people will understand that, believe

153
00:07:37,864 --> 00:07:38,080
that.

154
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,384
And as I said there, that are
faithful individuals, faithful people.

155
00:07:41,512 --> 00:07:44,312
So people who believe in the
teachings will then Turn around and

156
00:07:44,336 --> 00:07:45,624
teach those to other people.

157
00:07:45,712 --> 00:07:47,720
And that goes on and on and on.

158
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,464
So that's the importance of
teaching within the church.

159
00:07:49,512 --> 00:07:50,728
And so we need teachers.

160
00:07:50,904 --> 00:07:52,456
Not everyone can be a teacher.

161
00:07:52,488 --> 00:07:54,184
Not everyone is gifted in the
area of teaching.

162
00:07:54,232 --> 00:07:56,872
Now, some people might be able
to teach whether they know that they

163
00:07:56,896 --> 00:07:57,768
have the gift or not.

164
00:07:57,824 --> 00:08:00,696
Maybe they don't have the gift
of teaching, but yet still can teach

165
00:08:00,728 --> 00:08:04,792
in certain elements and grow
in that expertise, if you will, or

166
00:08:04,816 --> 00:08:06,136
that, that discipline.

167
00:08:06,328 --> 00:08:09,266
But what we're talking about
when it comes to the spiritual gifts

168
00:08:09,298 --> 00:08:11,474
is that there are going to be
some people that are supernaturally

169
00:08:11,522 --> 00:08:14,322
gifted to do it and have a
desire to do it right.

170
00:08:14,346 --> 00:08:17,310
And desire is always linked to
the gift that is given.

171
00:08:17,610 --> 00:08:20,354
And so for someone who has
been given the gift of teaching,

172
00:08:20,482 --> 00:08:23,538
there is going to be a strong
desire to teach the Word, and there's

173
00:08:23,554 --> 00:08:27,810
going to be a strong
competency to teach the Word, a strong

174
00:08:27,850 --> 00:08:28,550
ability.

175
00:08:28,890 --> 00:08:31,522
Not that they're any more
spiritual than anybody else, but

176
00:08:31,546 --> 00:08:36,026
there is that ability to take
a passage of Scripture and dig deep

177
00:08:36,058 --> 00:08:39,802
into it and to pull out from
it, application, to pull out from

178
00:08:39,826 --> 00:08:43,050
it the, the ways in which we
can learn and grow.

179
00:08:43,090 --> 00:08:45,722
And the beautiful thing about
Scripture is that every time we go

180
00:08:45,746 --> 00:08:47,738
back to Scripture, we can pull
something else out.

181
00:08:47,874 --> 00:08:50,490
And that's what that passage
in Second Timothy, chapter three

182
00:08:50,530 --> 00:08:51,562
talked about is.

183
00:08:51,586 --> 00:08:54,346
It's there to teach us what to
believe, but also how to correct

184
00:08:54,378 --> 00:08:57,594
us, how to guide us,
instruction in, in righteousness.

185
00:08:57,642 --> 00:09:01,338
And so that's the beauty of
Scripture is that it's just a wealth

186
00:09:01,434 --> 00:09:02,392
of, of.

187
00:09:02,496 --> 00:09:03,880
Of blessing to us.

188
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,100
And so we can keep coming back
to that well, and it never runs dry.

189
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,344
And so as a teacher, the goal
is to obviously take the first fruits

190
00:09:12,392 --> 00:09:12,904
for ourselves.

191
00:09:12,952 --> 00:09:15,976
I mean, as a teacher, the
teacher is the one who's learning

192
00:09:16,008 --> 00:09:18,072
the lesson first and growing
in that lesson first.

193
00:09:18,096 --> 00:09:22,008
And then we take those lessons
that we learn, hopefully as we're

194
00:09:22,024 --> 00:09:25,192
teaching, and then turn that
around and explain that to other

195
00:09:25,216 --> 00:09:25,780
people.

196
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,362
And so it simplifies,
simplify, simplify.

197
00:09:29,426 --> 00:09:34,386
The more simple that we can
make a concept, the more attainable

198
00:09:34,418 --> 00:09:37,490
it can be for people that,
that need that truth.

199
00:09:37,650 --> 00:09:41,378
If we put all these
theological truths on such a high

200
00:09:41,434 --> 00:09:45,186
pedestal that nobody can
really obtain them, then, then we're

201
00:09:45,218 --> 00:09:47,154
not making it accessible for people.

202
00:09:47,242 --> 00:09:51,586
Now, are there going to be
some complex issues, topics, belief

203
00:09:51,618 --> 00:09:53,266
systems that are going to be
found in Scripture?

204
00:09:53,298 --> 00:09:54,030
Of course.

205
00:09:54,510 --> 00:09:57,670
But we try to simplify them
the best that we can so that people

206
00:09:57,710 --> 00:09:59,170
can take that and grow.

207
00:09:59,710 --> 00:10:03,238
Because, you know, the, the
greatest the greatest teaching is

208
00:10:03,294 --> 00:10:06,630
only going to be as good as
the person who is hearing it and

209
00:10:06,670 --> 00:10:08,210
how they can receive it.

210
00:10:08,670 --> 00:10:10,982
So, you know, obviously you
have to know your audience.

211
00:10:11,046 --> 00:10:12,614
You have to know who you're
talking to.

212
00:10:12,702 --> 00:10:16,102
I'm going to talk differently
to a 5 year old than I am a 50 year

213
00:10:16,126 --> 00:10:16,550
old.

214
00:10:16,670 --> 00:10:19,750
I'm going to talk differently
to someone who's been saved for five

215
00:10:19,790 --> 00:10:22,330
years or someone who's been
saved for five minutes.

216
00:10:22,830 --> 00:10:26,054
And so there's going to be
differences to the way that we teach,

217
00:10:26,102 --> 00:10:29,158
but we don't compromise what
we are teaching.

218
00:10:29,334 --> 00:10:32,502
But we definitely need to go
in and understand where we're at

219
00:10:32,526 --> 00:10:37,330
when it comes to discerning
our audience, so to speak, our students.

220
00:10:37,790 --> 00:10:42,102
And so that's the third list
there, or, excuse me, the third gift

221
00:10:42,166 --> 00:10:43,830
there in that list in Romans
chapter 12.

222
00:10:43,870 --> 00:10:46,550
We'll come back next week and
we'll look at our next gift.

223
00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:49,990
But I do hope that you are
understanding these gifts that are

224
00:10:50,030 --> 00:10:54,920
given to us in the spirit
listed there in Romans chapter 12

225
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,352
and how we can utilize these
gifts within the church.

226
00:10:57,416 --> 00:11:00,024
Because if you remember back
in First Peter, Chapter four, it

227
00:11:00,032 --> 00:11:03,000
tells us that these gifts are
given to us so that we can bring

228
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,360
glory to God, so that we can
do that through Jesus Christ and

229
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,800
so that other people can be
strengthened and encouraged in their

230
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:10,856
spiritual walk.

231
00:11:11,008 --> 00:11:14,088
So I hope this has been a
challenge for you as you've gone

232
00:11:14,104 --> 00:11:15,640
through these spiritual gifts
so far.

233
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,278
And I hope that you're able to
discern where you are gifted and

234
00:11:20,334 --> 00:11:24,170
so that you can serve where
you are at the capacity that God

235
00:11:24,590 --> 00:11:26,214
desires for you.

236
00:11:26,302 --> 00:11:28,454
Not everyone's able to serve
at the same capacity.

237
00:11:28,502 --> 00:11:32,290
Not everyone's able to serve
at the same area.

238
00:11:32,590 --> 00:11:36,982
There's diversity to these
gifts, but there is also that unity

239
00:11:37,046 --> 00:11:40,134
of the gift that we all have a
purpose and we're all serving in

240
00:11:40,142 --> 00:11:40,854
these capacities.

241
00:11:40,902 --> 00:11:44,110
And so hope that that's
helpful for you here today.

242
00:11:44,270 --> 00:11:47,710
I hope that you have a great
New Year's as we're coming into this

243
00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:49,422
new year, 2025.

244
00:11:49,526 --> 00:11:51,022
Can't believe that we are here.

245
00:11:51,126 --> 00:11:52,830
I hope that you have a
fantastic year.

246
00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:57,694
I hope that you have a, a
wonderful time with friends and family.

247
00:11:57,862 --> 00:12:01,998

here this year in 2025.

253

bringing these truths to you in this

254
00:12:21,850 --> 00:12:26,722
year and we would love to also
have you share our podcast with some

255
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:27,938
people that you might know.

256
00:12:28,074 --> 00:12:31,458
If it's been beneficial to
you, maybe you could share that with

257
00:12:31,514 --> 00:12:34,642
some other people that you
know and it could be beneficial for

258
00:12:34,666 --> 00:12:35,768
them as well.

259
00:12:35,954 --> 00:12:39,212
And so we really, really would
appreciate that if you could do that

260
00:12:39,236 --> 00:12:40,012
for us.
