Teaching Them to Obey 2

Book excerpt: In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus gives teachers a clear and concise teaching goal: "Therefore go and make disciples, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." He did not tell us to teach people what to obey or even how to obey; rather, Jesus said, "make disciples" teaching them to obey." As a result, he made life-altering transformation (not simply information or education) our primary teaching goal. If you desire to fulfill the Great Commission through your teaching ministry, this book places at your fingertips a simple, practical, step-by-step process for how to develop and teach Bible lessons that change hearts and transform lives.

This innovative practical series is full of examples and how-to steps to ensure your Bible lessons lead listeners into an intimate relationship with Christ.
