Introduction

The Five Fold Ministry Is Like An Army

Apostle - The Seal Team - Get in behind enemy lines and form new troops to take ground from the enemy.
Prophet - Reconnaissance Team - They scout out the battlefield and let people know what they see.
Evangelist - The Recruiter - Every army needs new enlistments
Pastor - Medical Team - They care for the weary and the wounded.
Teacher - Generals/Commanders - They are giving vital instructions for the health and wholeness of the troop.

Teaching Is A Foundational Ministry

1 Corinthians 12:28 ESV
And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues.

Teachers Have A High Level Of Responsibility

James 3:1 ESV
Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.

Teachers Should Teach and Exhibit Godly Character

Titus 2:7–8 ESV
Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.
Teachers Must Show Integrity - That is to say we cannot be hypocrites. We must do what we teach. We must be doers of the word and not just teachers only.
Teachers Must Exhibit Dignity - In other words a teacher must be respectable. They need to live a life worthy of being followed.
Teachers Use Words And Their Words Matter - Sound speech is the idea that their words have power and they need speak words that bring health and wholeness to the congregation, not death, deception or destruction.

Teachers Save Souls

1 Timothy 4:16 ESV
Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.
Matthew 5:19 ESV
Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Teachers Are Disciple-makers

2 Timothy 2:2 ESV
And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.
