What the Bible says about A Unique Curriculum
(From Forerunner Commentary)
Paul counsels all Christians to use the gifts that God has freely given through His Holy Spirit to benefit their brothers and sisters in Christ. While our training and educational processes are individualized, we are all of one body. We may walk different paths, but relaying our perspectives, observations, and gifts from God to one another helps us participate together in reaching the wonderful goal God provides us.
Each week, we gather before God, giving us another opportunity to receive spiritual instruction. On the Sabbath, we hear messages from men who have devoted their lives to studying and sharing the Word of God. Through the inspiration of God's Spirit, they serve us by preaching on various worthwhile, spiritual, and often quite practical subjects.
Each person who hears, having a distinctive perspective, takes a slightly different understanding from each lesson. The subject may seem general to some, but to others, it is as if God were speaking directly to them. Questions they have been praying about may be answered during the message, or a subject they have been studying suddenly becomes clear. God uses many tools to help each of us grow and understand.
