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....

God has been kind to me....
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....

I believe one person can be both a preacher and teacher. My husband can preach evangelistic on a Sunday night and he also can teach bible studies (break down the scriptures to where everyone can understand) on Wed. night. I know many Pastors that can do both.

I agree my Dad was both as well. It is like a singer who can also preach. They are blessed with more than one talent.

The first UPC church I ever attended (and did so for many years), all they did was teach. We rarely heard preaching unless it was a special speaker that came in, or the rare occassion of one of the young preacher got to preach. I love good teaching...some of my favorites are:

Bro. Munsey (cannot remember his first name right now)
Bro. Jonathan Maki
Dr. James Hughes
Bro. Nate Wilson (more of a favorite of my husband's)

I made a comparison. How can they hear without a preacher? I understand.

But the teacher is there for the road.

The preacher is there for the conversion.

Hmmm...C-minus for this one....I guess.

Assuming you're right...which is more important? The conversion or the road? Can you have one without the other?

Many folks have been there for the conversion. Not many continue on the road.


That is why many times a large church has a great teacher behind the founding walls.

They tend to keep a larger percentage of the folks who get converted.

Both the preacher and the teacher are needed in every church....

A few more possibilities....

Preaching draws men unto Christ, while teaching develops men in Christ....

Preaching compels the emotions, while teaching deals with the mind and soul....

Preaching is the salesman that causes men to buy into a dream, while teaching is the construction crew that builds that dream according to the blueprint design brick by brick.... precept upon precept....
