Greetings on this August 3rd Monday morning. I trust that you will have a great week.
                                                                
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone who assisted in preparation for the Sunday worship service. Thank you to all who helped set up for communion. Thanks Linda and Nikki for the reminder skit concerning Back To The Bricks and our participation.
Here is a special note that on August the 23rd we will have The Royaheirs in concert here at FBC. It will take place at 4 pm. and we will receive a love offering for the group. Don't miss the concert!
  
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 27th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn for these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "The Movies, pt 2".
                       
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 session is one of 10 lessons (one each week). Thi is Lesson 9, "Life Changing Letters..." from the module: Bible Survey with Dr. Bert Downs as teacher. Click this LINK  or 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: "People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society." Vince Lombardi. Here is a humorous bonus by that great baseball player and philosopher, Yogi Berra, to lighten your day: Yogi's alarm clock didn't go off and he commented: "If I didn't wake up I'd still be sleeping." It is amazing how profound we can be if just given a chance.
 
My desire for you this week is that you work with each other to win.
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
