October 12... Training Materials

Welcome and greetings to all of you F.M.T. Blogites on this cool fall day in October. I trust that you will have a very profitable day.

PERSONAL NOTE: I want to take the time to thank everyone who made yesterday's worship experience what it was... especially our musicians and sound people. A special thanks to Mr. Bud and the Savior Singers for their message in song to us. Great job kids (and Mr. Bud)!

Remember that on Sunday, October 18, 2009 we will have as a special guest, Rev. Roy Schwarcz with us from Chosen People Ministries (a Jewish Messianic ministry). He will be presenting the "Messiah in Shavout, How the Feast of Pentecost Foreshadows the New Covenant and the Coming of the Messiah". We look forward to his ministry among us. This is a good opportunity to bring a guest with you to Church. Take advantage of it.

We have just begun a new Sunday morning message series on the Book of Daniel form the Old Testament. I believe that you will find this study to be helpful, challenging and applicable to us today. I know that you will find the prophetic themes of Daniel right of the history books and our news media. Jesus is going to come back to earth to rule and reign, and Daniel sets the stage for that. Make sure that you are here on Sundays to be challenged by God's Word. Know what is coming!

YOU CAN KNOW GOD'S WILL: In I Peter chapter 3 and verse 15, we see that the will of God is expressed by saying that each of us must always be prepared to make a defense of our hope in the Lord Jesus Christ. In theology circles this is called apologetics. It is necessary for every believer to learn why they believe what they believe. The purpose is to be able to share clearly from the Bible the what and why of God's provision of salvation and the ramifications of it. Be prepared!
