EP 210 Congregational Theological Education
Well Bootcampers, the Battle of the Boot is over, Jimbo and his LSU Tigers win again. Bob will wear the pajama top in Oklahoma. In this week’s EP the guys get down to the important business of discussion facilitating theological education for the church. Here are the highlights
Introduction
- Spiritual maturity does not always correlate to age – the young can be spiritually mature, the seasoned immature.
- We are often theologically educated beyond our level of obedience.
STUDYING God’s Word makes a major impact – more so than just reading it – but we need to teach our people how to STUDY God’s Word
Strategies for providing theological education (it is not a one size fits all scenario and there are multiple ways to layer this into the culture of your congregation):
- Sermon series
- Sunday School or small group series
- Sunday night seminars
- Guest speakers and workshops
- Online resources like right now media, replant hub etc.
- Utilize denominational confessions and creeds
