How to Choose Relevant Bible Topics for Effective Christian Discipleship and Evangelism
Choosing a topic to teach from the Bible to Christians wanting to grow in their faith and be witnesses to the gospel of Jesus Christ can be a daunting task, but there are a few things you can consider to help guide your selection.
Pray and seek guidance from the Holy Spirit: Ask God to reveal to you what topic or passage would be most beneficial for your audience. The Holy Spirit is the best guide to help you choose the right topic that will speak to the hearts and minds of your listeners.
Consider your audience's spiritual needs and what topics would be most relevant to their current situations. For example, if your audience is struggling with anxiety, you might choose to teach on the topic of peace and rest in Christ.
Choose a topic you are passionate about: Your enthusiasm for the topic will help engage your audience and make the teaching more impactful. Choose a topic that you feel strongly about and that you have studied and reflected on.
Select a topic relevant to the gospel message: Whatever topic you choose, make sure it is rooted in the gospel message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. The goal of teaching should be to help your audience grow in their understanding of the gospel and their relationship with God.
Some potential topics to consider might include:
The character of God (i.e., love, good, infinite, etc.).
The life and teachings of Jesus Christ
The power of the Holy Spirit
The importance of prayer and worship
The nature of sin and redemption
The role of the church in the world
Remember, the most important thing is to seek God's guidance and choose a topic to help your audience grow in their faith and be better equipped to share the gospel with others.
