Lessons

The lesson on June 27th discussed the concept of expounding and the scripture passages that used the term “expounded”  One scripture reading was found in Acts 28:23 KJV “And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.”  Notice how long it took?  The Apostle Paul expounded all day long.  Today, the generations that exist have certain attributes that makes expounding rather difficult.  Baby Boomers, Gen-X, Gen-Y, and Gen-Z are have unique ways of communicating and it is greatly shortened.  With the invention of the computer, ways of socializing has changed dramatically.  If it isn’t “text-ed” or “blogged” or “streamed”, it may not be accepted.  Especially not within my “group”.  Taking time to study and be involved in debate is becomming a lost art.  When expounding, you must be educated on your topic and and take the time to explain the details.  Your audience must also take time to listen and engage.  In Psalms 46:10 KJV it says “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”  Listen to the lesson and download the handout.
