I enthusiastically shared my ideas with her, but although she thanked me politely, she never used them. Each week her students went home with a boring fill-in-the-blank paper completed in class.

She pointed to her students, many of whom came from Spanish-speaking homes, and said, \u201cMy students use the papers to teach their parents.\u201d I realized that Jesus used more than one method to shared his message. He was the master of the miracle, a pro at teaching through parables, and a super sermon giver!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Luke 4:15: \u00a0&#8220;<\/strong>He was teaching in their synagogues,\u00a0and everyone praised him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What methods do you use to teach?
