January 26 Weekly Training Materials

Good day to all of you on this crisp Monday, January 26, 2009. I trust that this will be a great week for you.

PERSONAL NOTE: I wanted to let you know that I felt yesterday's service was very powerful. I could see the Lord working in our midst. The Word of God is quick and powerful!

Let me invite you to our Wednesday Bible study on the 28th. We will be studying Romans chapter 3. It is entitled "Paul's Theology". I believe that this study will benefit you. Next Sunday my message from Galatians will be, "Blessed or Cursed" from 3: 6-14.

I think that some of you are aware that my appearances on "ASK THE PASTOR" have been juggled around lately. Whenever I announce I am on it, they change the schedule... so I am supposed to be on February 6 at 2 PM., channel 49 (channel 10 on cable). I look forward to the program.

Please start now inviting people to attend our Sunday 4 PM. concert on February 8 with the ROYALHEIRS. This quartet is from our area and they do a great job of sharing the message in song. There is no ticket charge for this but a love offering will be taken for them to help defray their cost in the ministry.

MONTHLY AUDIO: Please check the January 5th blog if you have not already downloaded the audio lesson.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING FEATURED ARTICLE: Click on this LINK to download the article entitled, "So now You're the Leader". This is definitely food for thought.

Please take the time to check out the new links that I have added to the right in the "Bonus Training Links" section. The new ones are the top five in the list. I know that you will find them challenging and helpful... and just so that you know, I do not necessarily agree with everything that is placed on those web sites (disclaimer). I just think that we should have access to tools and then use discernment as to how we use them.
