July 25, 2016...Training Material

Greetings on this July 25th, Monday morning. I hope that you had a nice week. I want to thank everyone who assisted in making Sunday a great day. Thank you Sue Warner, for the special number in song. 
          
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 79th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "The Emergent Church on SIN."
                       
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 16 lessons (one each week). This is Lesson 3 of 16, "Questions and Answers." from the module: Why we trust our Bible, with a variety of teachers. 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, "Grasp the Hour."
                                         
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK  for lesson 2 of a 14 lesson series entitled: God's Battle Plan for Purity.  Lesson 2 is: "Count the cost of failure". The host for this series is Dr. Gregory Brown. I believe that you will profit greatly from this study.
                                                                           
HERE'S MY QUESTION: "What would have been Christ's eternal destiny if He had yielded to temptation?" Click on this LINK . Put your thinking cap on. This is an interesting question.
                                                                     
GRADUATE STUDIES: This is Session 10 of 10 under Bibliology Hermeneutics. Click on this LINK . This lesson is "Toward an Evangelical Hermeneutic". These are video lessons (they also have an audio version available on the same page). In March 2016, we started the Graduate Program over from the beginning again. These lessons are at an advanced, graduate level of study. If you missed any lessons previously, get them the next time around. You must put your thinking cap on for these studies. They are sometimes difficult, yet profitable. See the box for your choice of media...audio, video, download.
                                                               
COUNSELING HELP: The category is Relationships. Click this LINK for the article:"Having Sexual Temptations." This is a subject all should be aware of...even though you may think it may not apply to you because you are not a teen. Be prepared to offer advice that is biblical.
                                                           
LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "We think about our tomorrows, but we don't know how many they are, so let's start making the most of our todays!" Ivana Trump. Here is a humorous bonus by that great (and now deceased) baseball player and philosopher, Yogi Berra, to lighten your day. This is one of my all time favorite quotes from Yogi: "Pair up in threes." I hope you have enjoyed all of these Yogi-isms. They are just plain fun.
 
My desire for you this week is for you to get after today.
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
