Greetings on this October 26th, Monday morning.
                                                                
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone who assisted in preparation for the Sunday worship service. Thank you King's Kids (alumni), for the message in song. Thank you Sue Warner for your solo...nice work.

LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 39th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "Objections to Christianity", part 8 of 8.
                       
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 here is one of 18 lessons (one each week). This is Lesson 4 of 18, "Leviticus" from the module: Understanding the Old Testament with Dr. Paul House 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!                                                                                         
HOPE FOR PARENTS: Click this LINK for the article, "Never Settle for Mediocrity".
                                                                         
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK  for lesson 8 of 9 "The Bodily Resurrection of Jesus the Messiah". The host for this series is Dr. Allen Ross. The series is entitled:...Sound Doctrine: A Biblical Study of the Doctrines in the Nicene Creed.
                                                                           
HERE'S MY QUESTION: "What passage says that angels carry our petitions to God on their wings?" Click on this LINK .
                                                                     
GRADUATE STUDIES: "Introduction and Ordo Salutis". This is Session 1 of 10 under Soteriology. Click on this LINK . These are video lessons (they also have an audio version available on the same page). At the end of Dec. 2014, we started the Graduate Program over from the beginning. These lessons are at an advanced, graduate level of study. If you missed any lessons previously, get them this time around.
                                                               
COUNSELING HELP: The category is Faith 101. Click this LINK for the article:"Overview of Mere Christianity". Once again, please check out the article: When the Healing Doesn't come. Use this LINK. I think that you will find this helpful.
                                                           
LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible." Vince Lombardi. Here is a humorous bonus by that great (and now deceased) baseball player and philosopher, Yogi Berra, to lighten your day: One day, Yogi was asked why the Yankees weren't doing well. His response was: "I wish I had an answer to that, because I'm tired of answering that question." Way to go, Yogi.
 
My desire for you this week is that you accomplish much for the Kingdom.
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
