Available Resources For Teaching Others

Summary Of Tools That Can Be Used

There are many different ways to effectively communicate the gospel to others. What follows is a brief summary and description of various tools that I have found helpful. In using them, I try to be flexible, asking God for wisdom as to which approach to use depending upon the particular circumstances.

VIDEO STUDIES

• "How To Understand The Bible" by Robert F. Harkrider (five tapes)
  This is a five-lesson series that presents a survey of the Bible, salvation, and the New Testament Church. It includes study guides for each lesson. Designed for those who have at least a "basic" knowledge of the Bible.
• "The Visualized Bible Study Series" by Jule Miller (five tapes)
  Another five-lesson study, presenting a survey of the Bible, salvation, the New Testament Church, and the history of the church. There are also study guides that accompany the tapes. This study might be more appropriate for someone with virtually no concept of what the Bible is all about.

BIBLE CORRESPONDENCE COURSES

• "Know Your Bible" by Gene Tope
  The six lessons in this study include such topics as:
• Introduction To The Bible
• Sin And The Blood Of Christ
• What Must I Do To Be Saved?
• The New Testament Church
• Denominationalism
• Baptism
I have used this series on a number of occasions where I have simply given the lessons to a friend, and they taught themselves the gospel.


• "Jesus, The Way" by Sewell Hall
  The seven lessons in this study include such topics as:
• Jesus, The Way (Introduction)
• Finding Jesus, The Way
• Jesus, The Way To A Better Life
• Jesus, The Way To Forgiveness
• Jesus, The Way To God
• Jesus, The Way Out Of Religious Confusion
• Jesus, The Way To Heaven
The first lesson is designed for mass mailing, but can be used as a regular correpondence course.

TRACTS

• "Facts You Need To Face" By Haun Publishing Company
  A simple tract (reading time is five minutes) that presents the following "facts":
• You Need To Be Saved
• Christ Died For You
• To Be Saved You Must Accept Christ

  A good sized booklet that discusses:
