LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINKfor our 18th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn for these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "Oprah's Spirituality".
                         
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. This session is one of 10 lessons (one each week). It is Lesson 1, Describing the "Elephant". from the module: Bible Survey with Dr. Bert Downs 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: "Winners never quit and quitters never win." Vince Lombardi. Here is a humorous bonus by that great baseball player and philosopher, Yogi Berra, to lighten your day. After a tough game and some tough reporter questions, Yogi said: "If you ask me a question I don't know, I'm not going to answer."
 
My desire for you in this week of ministry is that you don't quit.
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
