Greetings on this mid-March Monday morning.
                                            
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone who assisted in preparation for the Sunday worship service. Thank you Dee and Choir for the special number in song...good job! Once again, there were a lot of sick people Sunday...pray for those who are ill.   
 
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINKfor our seventh apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn for these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "Relativism?"
   
TRAINING THE TEACHER: This new section replaces the Theology Article position in the blog. I am calling this: TRAINING THE TEACHER. My intent is to provide long-term biblical training for those who are in church work but may not feel adequately trained in the Bible and Christianity teaching in general. I want all of you to take this training (whether you teach or not) because it will better equip you to teach or live as a disciple of Christ. All of the material for this training is  coming to you by Biblical Training.org. I am linking you to their site for each of the lessons. You will be exposed to some of the finest Bible teachers in the country. You will receive Bible Institute level training. Our second session is one of 12 lessons (one each week). It is Lesson 2, Change from the module: Life is a Journey with Dr. Bill Mounce as teacher. Click this LINK for the video lesson. Visit their website and see that there are different levels of involvement. By registering with them (free), you can have access to outlines, transcripts, etc. If you choose to do more than one lesson each week...go for it! Enjoy.

LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "After a storm comes a calm." Matthew Henry. Here is a humorous bonus by that great baseball player and philosopher, Yogi Berra, to lighten your day: "A writer asked me: What makes a good manager? I answered: Good players!".
 
My desire for you this week is that you be ready for the storm, but enjoy the calm.
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
