How we Teach?
The teaching DNA of ValleyPoint focuses on the use of scripture in a topical-expository format. We value scripture as the “breathed out words of God” and see them as essential for following the way of Jesus as they “stand close to the center of this whole process of being conformed to the image of Christ” (Mulholland, Shaped by the Word, p. 28).
Topical-expository teaching combines elements of both topical and expository preaching. In this approach, the teacher will discuss a theme that is prayerfully developed and chosen by the Lead Pastor and then systematically examine scripture passages that speak to that theme. Topical-expository moves beyond merely referencing verses to carefully unpacking the passage explaining the text’s history, words, and other unique aspects in its context. Topical-expository teaching also keeps the talk biblically grounded while addressing practical and relevant themes for the congregation. Topical-expository teaching is a method Jesus used as he taught.

>> Outcome Matters
Teaching should be more than the transfer of information. It should be more than a “content dump.” The outcome of our teaching should be transformation – into the person of Jesus for the sake of others.
Consider the example of Jesus, the greatest example of excellence in teaching style, who was known as a compelling storyteller, relevant communicator, fabulous illustrator, and brilliant wordsmith. In his teaching, style was never eclipsed by content. His teaching style was part of his strategy for effectiveness as he engaged the audience to know, do, and feel something.

3. What do we need to feel (orthopathia)?
