Greetings on this December 28th, Monday morning...I hope that you had a Merry Christmas.
PERSONAL NOTE:
I want to thank everyone who assisted in preparation for the Sunday
worship service. Thanks to all who helped with the Christmas Eve service...I enjoyed Angela Foltz singing and Elizabeth Warner playing the clarinet...nice work.
I thought that you might like to know that our Church helped 4 families with their Christmas. Thank you for your generosity and love.
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 49th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to
learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and
philosophers. Today's lesson is "What is Apologetics?"
TRAINING THE TEACHER: My purpose 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 13 of 18, "The Book of the Twelve - Pt. 1" 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, "New Year's Resolutions Your family Can Live With." Check it out.
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK for lesson 3 of a 7 lesson series entitled: Essentials of Islam. Lesson 3 is: "Sunni, Shia, and Sufi Islam". The
host for this series is Dr. Timothy Tennent. The short series is
designed to introduce you to the subject. Once this 7 lesson series is
over, we will look at a second, but much more extensive study of Islam. I
believe that you will profit greatly from these studies.
HERE'S MY QUESTION: "How and when was the Bible divided into chapters and verses?" Click on this LINK .
GRADUATE STUDIES: "The Doctrine of Perseverance (Eternal Security)". This is Session 10 of 10 under Soteriology (The study of Salvation). 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 for these studies. Take your time with this one.
COUNSELING HELP: The category is Forgiveness. Click this LINK for the article:"Does Forgiveness = No Consequences?" Send this link to someone that you think needs this information.
LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "Never, never, never give up." Winston Churchill. Here is a humorous bonus by that great (and now deceased) baseball player and philosopher, Yogi Berra,
to lighten your day: When Yogi was told that a Jewish mayor was elected in Dublin, Ireland, he responded: "Only in America!". Yes, that's Yogi...geography was not his strong point.
My desire for you and me this week is that you take Churchill's advice.
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
