Since then God has allowed me the opportunity at a few different cool things.... as of most recent, I've gotten the chance to teach the last 75+ weeks a Sunday morning adult SS class (45 minutes of teaching a clip).... next week, I'll be starting a new 12-week series on the book of Jonah....

A teacher feels just as comfortable talking about his message one-on-one after the service.
A preacher just wants to talk to the pews with no one talking back.
A preacher looks for an Amen, a teacher looks for a student.
A preacher counts those filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized after they preach.
A teacher longs to learn from their student at some point down the road.
A preacher looks for instant results.
A teacher looks for lasting results.
A preacher will be quoted for the "Title of their sermon".
A teacher will be quoted as to the title of their book.
A preacher will be noted for their style.
A teacher will be noted for their insite.
Most preachers have a hard time learing new revelations.
Teachers are always first a student.
I could go on and on....
These are my own thoughts....
