Extended Sermons

“Teaches how we are to practice what we preach, that what we’ve instructed others to do we must be willing to do ourselves.” ⇒ Jesus practiced what He preached. He gave the disciples a lot of instruction about speaking publicly for Him. Some of the best leaders have always been those who are willing to do what they ask their followers to do. This was also the case with Jesus. There is nothing worse than someone who preaches one thing, but then does another. One of the dangers for those who teach or preach God’s Word, is that they may put a great deal of effort into teaching and preaching; but then not put a big enough effort into practicing what they preach.

Additional Notes & Applications

Teaches how being a good leader or mentor means knowing when you’ve given enough tools, guidelines, and training, and then stepping back and letting those you’ve mentor put it into action.

Note: This verse marks the end of the “second” five-set division discourses that began at 10:1, suggesting another turning point in Jesus’ ministry.
