Styles of Communication, Part 2 of 12

Real Dudes,
Take into consideration what means Jesus used most. Sure there’s some overlap, but it does seem that He spent a lot of time giving instruction. Which means He was hands on with His students. He was heavily involved with teaching, informing and instructing. What means do you find yourself using most often? Do you do a lot of preaching, declaring, talking, confirming AT others. Or are your conversations more interactive? Obviously, there’s a time and place for both, but what did Jesus model for us most often?

I ask you to please…

• Allow me to share God’s Word with you by means of…

Preaching…

• 1:14, 38-39; 2:2

Declaring…

• 11:14

Teaching…(chose the word “taught” rather than “said” which is above in the Explaining section). Teaching has the idea of instructing in a formal or informal setting, which would then increase the Instructing section below.

Talking…

Informing…

• 9:1, 12, 37, 42; 14:18, 20-21, 24-25, 27-28, 30, 41; 16:16

Instructing…

• 3:9; 6:10-11; 8:26, 34-35; 11:1-3, 22-25; 12:17, 29-31; 14:13-15, 22-23 (this is at the Lord’s Supper), 32, 34, 38, 42

Confirming…

• 15:2; 16:20

Next time we’ll look at how I should desire my communication to come across at times.
