God Has A Keen Memory
I am showing love to the Lord when I prepare and present Bible studies. He won't forget my labor.
God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. |

Sow-Reap Principle
If I sow to the Spirit, I'll reap from the Spirit as well.
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature[a]will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. |

How God Gets Glory
When I'm experiencing trouble or feel inadequate that's when God can get the most glory through my life & ministry. I am forced to call on Him for help and He gets an opportunity to display His might or intervene on my behalf.
and call upon me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you will honor me |

God Uses Unlikely People
God delights in using unlikely, sometimes less qualified people b/c it minimizes the likelihood of pride and gives him the glory.
Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29so that no one may boast before him. |

Nature of Scripture
My hope and confidence as a Bible study teacher lies in the nature of God's word. It is inherently powerful and life-changing.
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. |
