"Observations About Jesus' Method as a "Teacher"

I. Truth Baptist Church, 2-8-98, Teacher's Meeting 5pm

	1. Jesus Prioritized Individual People. -- Spent time with them more than preaching to them.
	2. Jesus Moved Slowly Through Crowds. --ILLUS. "Bill Rice" a preacher that "worked through the lobby at this church" (had a relevant greeting for each one!)
	3. Jesus Was Uniformly Kind. -- Firm, yet kind.
	4. Jesus Refrained from Judgment. "Who made Me a judge over you?" "Neither do I condemn thee."
	5. Jesus Always Accepted People.
	6. Jesus Stressed "Relationships."
	7. Jesus Gave Himself to Others. -- He washed Judas' "feet!" --A most incredible act of absolute humility in light of His omniscience!
	8. Jesus Pointed Away from Self.
	9. Jesus Condemned Externalism. -- He judged not by the outward appearance.
	10. Jesus Sought Forgiveness. -- "Forgive them for they know not what they do."

II. "Mentoring-Emotional & Spiritual Encouragements"

Truth Baptist church, 6-13-98, Men's Meeting 8am

Dr. Charles Wood

A. 7 Categories of "FRIENDS" 1. Convenience Friends--"wear" easy; always around. Not close. Not "dinner" friends. 2. Special Interest Friends--e.g. hobbyists. 3. Historical Friends--never known [except through writings]; deceased. e.g. Spurgeon, Maxwell--leadership. 4. Cross road Friends--one with a lifelong impact. 5. Cross generational Friends--age no factor. 6. Close Friends--few of these, rare to have more than 3 or 4, some have none, especially men. 7. Mentor Friends--they "grow" with us. e.g. Reuben. Ewert. Living the Truth Ministries

 

	B. 8 Things "A Mentor ..." (Has) "Barnabas" Son of Encouragement. AC 4.32-37 Has A Generous Spirit. Time, Listening ear, not only $, Fun to give. Has A Gracious Spirit. AC 9.26 Takes time to assimilate others into the body, makes an outcast part of the group. Gets Excited when good things happen to others in the group. AC 11.19-25 Plays NOT "Can you top this?!" BUT "Can you tell me more?" Takes the Initiative to help others grow. AC 11.25-30 Barnabus had a hand in raising this money. Enjoys God's Blessing. AC 13.1-5 We are blessed to be a blessing. Raises Up Mentor Friends. Willing to Take a Risk in differences of opinion with a potential leader. AC 15.36-41 Both were right! Is Without "Position" Consciousness. AC 1.23f Barnabus was most prominent in Acts really.
	C. 10 Ways To Be A "Barnabus" Write encouraging notes. Share with Him Ways that God has dealt with you that will help Him! Offer Support of your Presence. (You don't have to speak.) Affirm him by acts of kindness while he's hurting. Compliment him on spiritual progress. Be Available and Willing to Listen. Be a Cheerleader in Life. Jump in and Help Him with Something. Stand Up for Him. Help Him Gain "Perspective" (seeing life from another's point of view).
	D. Challenges Who are Yours? Who do you pour yourself into? List them: Who can you add to this list? What have you done in the last seven days? To What degree are you willing to sacrifice?
