This document discusses lessons that can be learned from Philip in the book of Acts about being an effective teacher. It outlines that Philip prepared himself through knowledge and good reputation, was obedient to God's commands to go to certain places and share the gospel, seized opportunities like proclaiming Christ in Samaria and explaining Scripture to the Ethiopian man, and consistently proclaimed the truth about Christ. Philip provides an excellent example for Christians to follow in their teaching.

The Power of Teaching
Lessons from Philip
Synopsis: The little knowledge we have from Philip reminds us of how
powerful teaching should be in our lives. We find that Philip prepared
himself; that he was obedient to God’s commands; that he was
opportunistic and that he told them the truth. He is an excellent example
for us.
