January 5... First Training Blog!

Greetings on this beginning of a new year!

PERSONAL NOTE: I feel we got off to a great start to the new year this last Sunday. It is my desire that we all strive to focus upon God and His work. Here are some things coming up: Jan. 11th, I will be preaching from our studies in Galatians. Wed., 7th, I will be in Acts 26. On Jan. 23rd, I will be on "Ask the Pastor" on WAQP, channel 49 in Saginaw at 2 PM. Don't forget the Church workday on Saturday the 10th.

BONUS SECTION: In this bonus section from week to week I will offer several ideas or selections for you to consider. This week I would suggest that if you are a teacher or a leader, it would be wise to get a good study Bible. Some good choices are: NIV Study Bible; MacArthur Study Bible; ESV Study Bible; Ryrie Study Bible. You will find it handy from a teaching/study point of view. I will mention the NET Bible also. It offers some tools that require a little more advanced study, but very worthwhile. One extra note: I do not recommend the NLT Study Bible as a main study text. The reason is that it is a paraphrase.

Make sure that you use what you can and be sure to check out the other sites to your right. Peruse at your leisure.

Have a great week as we serve together, Pastor Foltz
