May 26, 2015...Training Material

Greetings on this May Tuesday morning. I hope you had a nice Memorial Day.
                                                              
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone who assisted in preparation for the Sunday worship service. Thank you Jan and Dee for the special number...We really enjoyed it!  Are you getting ready for V.B.S.? I hope so. Tell Bill Swift that you want to help. Thanks, Russ for being on the platform for the pledges.

A sad note: RoseMarie LePage went home to be with the Lord on May 25, 2015. We will miss her. Dale and family have all of our love and prayers. Details are not yet final.
 
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINKfor our 16th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn for these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "Desire".
                     
TRAINING THE TEACHER: My intent here 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 ninth session is one of 12 lessons (one each week). It is Lesson 11, "Walking Together." 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 for your 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! Study at your pace!

LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.." Vince Lombardi. Here is a humorous bonus by that great baseball player and philosopher, Yogi Berra, to lighten your day. Yogi said this when in the 1960 World Series : "We made too many wrong mistakes." Think about it.
 
My desire for you this week is that you exercise the will to do the task.
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
