Jesus the Teacher, Part 4 - by Solly Kganyago

May 24, 2026

Sermon recap:

Teaching one another is an essential part of discipleship. Jesus modelled experiential learning through obedience to the Father’s will (John 6:38) and taught that love for God is demonstrated by keeping his commands (John 14:15–17, 23). Since we cannot give what we do not have, effective teaching begins with personally living out God’s Word. The Great Commission calls believers to teach others to obey everything Christ commanded (Matthew 28:18–20).

Teaching occurs at different levels: disciple-to-disciple relationships, public teaching from the pulpit, and designated teachers entrusted with preserving sound doctrine (2 Timothy 2:2). All teaching must faithfully communicate God’s truth rather than personal opinions.

To teach accurately, we must practice exegesis—drawing meaning from Scripture—rather than eisegesis, which imposes our own ideas on the text. Teachers should understand context, distinguish between descriptive and prescriptive passages, and identify timeless biblical principles. Because teachers are accountable before God (James 3:1), their goal must be to lead others into faithful obedience and spiritual maturity.

Embracing Divine Tension: Pendulum Swings (Part 10)

By Justin Renton • September 2, 2026
The physics of the pendulum Picture an old grandfather clock in a quiet hallway. Its long brass pendulum swings steadily: tick, tock, tick, tock. Now give that pendulum a hard shove to the right. It does not simply glide back to the center and stop. It races right past the middle and sways just as far to the left. Left to its own momentum, a pendulum never rests at either extreme; it finds peace only when it hangs still at the center, held by gravity and its fixed point. The church behaves in much the same way. Push her too far toward one side of a truth and she does not gently settle into balance, she swings. Often for a whole generation toward the opposite error, and then back again, wounding people at both ends of the arc. And here is the crucial thing the clock teaches us: the pendulum comes to rest not by being frozen in place, but by being held. Balance is not the absence of force; it is the fixed point that keeps opposing pulls in tension so that the weight can finally hang still.
