Some "Dr. Charles Wood" Sermon Notes Relating to Social Skills
"Observations About Jesus' Method as a
"Teacher"
I. Truth Baptist Church, 2-8-98, Teacher's Meeting 5pm
- 1. Jesus Prioritized Individual People.
- -- Spent time with them more than preaching to them.
2. Jesus Moved Slowly Through Crowds.
- --ILLUS. "Bill Rice" a preacher that "worked through the
lobby at this church" (had a relevant greeting for each one!)
3. Jesus Was Uniformly Kind.
4. Jesus Refrained from Judgment.
- "Who made Me a judge over you?" "Neither do I condemn
thee."
5. Jesus Always Accepted People.
6. Jesus Stressed "Relationships."
7. Jesus Gave Himself to Others.
- -- He washed Judas' "feet!" --A most incredible act of absolute
humility in light of His omniscience!
8. Jesus Pointed Away from Self.
9. Jesus Condemned Externalism.
- -- He judged not by the outward appearance.
10. Jesus Sought Forgiveness.
- -- "Forgive them for they know not what they do."

Truth Baptist church, 6-13-98, Men's Meeting 8am
Dr. Charles Wood
- A. 7 Categories of
"FRIENDS"
--"wear" easy; always
around. Not close. Not "dinner" friends.
- 2. Special Interest Friends
--e.g. hobbyists.

--never known [except through
writings]; deceased. e.g. Spurgeon, Maxwell--leadership.
- 4. Cross road Friends

--age no factor.
- 6. Close Friends
--few of these, rare to have more than 3
or 4, some have none, especially men.

Encouragement. AC 4.32-37

"Can you tell me more?"
