Greetings on this November 9th, Monday morning.
                                                                
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone who assisted in preparation for the Sunday worship service. Thank you Jr. Choir, for the message in song. Thank you Brandon Eger for your message in song. I liked it! I hope that you picked up your Operation Christmas Child box. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAN!!!
 
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 41st apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "Where should I start?"
                       
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 6 of 18, "Joshua" 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!

GRADUATE STUDIES: "Predestination, pt. 2 of 2". This is Session 3 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. You must put your thinking cap on! You need to know the thinking behind this view.
                                                               
COUNSELING HELP: The category is Faith 101. Click this LINK for the article:"How to Know God Personally".
                                                           
LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price." 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, at a Yoo-Hoo (chocolate drink) convention a woman asked Yogi if Yoo-Hoo was hyphenated? Yogi's response as a spokesperson was: "No ma'am, it isn't even carbonated!"  Oh well, that's Yogi.
 
My desire for you this week is that you will be willing to pay the price.
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
