    Knowing and Loving God

    People often carry the faith of their childhood with them throughout the rest of their lives. Therefore, it is very important to teach children to know and love God, and parents and teachers play a huge role in that. Drs. Kelly and Watson stress the need for authentic, lived-out faith rather than just adherence to rules. Their conversation underscores the transformative power of personal faith and the role of community in fostering spiritual growth, particularly in the context of family and educational settings.

    Why Teach the Old Testament

    The Old Testament can sometimes seem a little intimidating. We often read Paul's words and he frequently quotes the Old Testament, but for some it can be hard to seeing God in the OT as loving. However, it is absolutely essential that we study and teach the Old Testament because it provides the history and context for our brokenness and the depth of healing Jesus brings.

    Teaching on Parables

    Jesus often taught in parables, and his parables are rich in truth for Bible teachers. However, teaching the parables can have some challenges. Some approach parables allegorically, expecting every element of the story to have a spiritual application. This can be problematic because the parable becomes hard to interpret. Some approach teaching the parables in a word by word, line by line, or verse by verse style looking for various points from the story. This often misses the point of the parable. Interpreting a parable takes work, often the context of the time gives essential information in finding the point of the story.

    Sincerity of Heart

    In this episode of The Bible Teaching Podcast, Dr. Kelly and Dr. Watson focus on a few passages in the book of Micah and the themes relating to God's presence, transformation, and teaching methodologies. Micah teaches about the importance of heart sincerity over mere adherence to religious rituals. Teaching should aim to facilitate a deeper relational understanding of God rather than just imparting knowledge or behavioral modifications.

    Understanding the Bigger Picture

    In this episode, Dr. Gregg Watson and Dr. Paul Kelly talk about understanding scripture within the broader context. They emphasize the importance of grasping the big picture before delving into the details, dissecting every verse can sometimes obscure the author's intended message. Using the analogy of the armor of God from Ephesians, they illustrate how each piece contributes to the larger theme of spiritual warfare and the necessity of prayer in facing spiritual challenges.

    How to Approach Biblical Texts

    In this episode of The Bible Teaching Podcast, Dr. Watson and Dr. Kelly emphasize the need to delve into the historical and cultural context of the Biblical text, consider the ancient language and the specific circumstances for which it was written. It can be dangerous to quickly skip over important details in the text. Theology should grow out of the text rather than precede it, spend time meditating on and interacting with the text to gain a deeper understanding.
