How to Teach the Bible to Any Age

Before Jesus fed the five thousand with bread, He gave them something even more necessary — the Word of God. Mark 6:34 records that when Jesus came out of the boat and saw the crowd, He was "moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd." And before the miracle, before the loaves were broken, He began to teach them many things. The greatest hunger in humanity isn't physical. It's spiritual. And the further we drift from God's truth, no amount of comfort or convenience can fill that void. In this message from Mark 6:34 and Hebrews 5:11–14, Pastor Paul Chapman brings a challenge that isn't just for pastors, missionaries, or Sunday school teachers — it's for every believer. God has called all of us to pass on His truth. Not from pulpits, necessarily. But from our lives, our conversations, our homes, our workplaces. Drawing from Hebrews 5, Pastor Paul highlights the "holy frustration" of the Apostle Paul, who rebuked the Hebrew Christians not simply for failing to learn, but for failing to teach what they'd already been given. Because when you don't pass on what you know, you lose it. The truth fades when it isn't shared. Whether you teach a Sunday school class, lead family devotions, share your faith at work, or simply want to be someone who passes on what God has given you, this message gives you a practical, encouraging, and biblical framework to do it.
