Greetings on this November 30th, Monday morning.
                                                                
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone who assisted in preparation for the Sunday worship service. Thank you, Mike and Jan Bard for lighting the first Advent candle. Thus begins the Christmas Season! Thank you Dee Spohn for bringing the special music. Very nice. I hope that all of you had a great Thanksgiving...I know that I did.
    
 
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 44th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "How to respond to an Atheist." Very interesting.
                       
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 9 of 18, "I and II Kings" 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!

You must put your thinking cap on for these studies.
                                                               
COUNSELING HELP: The category is Faith 101. Click this LINK for the article:"How do you become a Christian?". It is important that you understand this. Send this link to someone at risk.
                                                           
LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "Optimism is  the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." Helen Keller. 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 apparently talking about receiving mail. He said: "Never answer an anonymous letter."  There you have it...great advice.
 
My desire for you this week is that you experience optimism regularly.
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
