July 11, 2016...Training Material

Greetings on this July 11th, Monday morning. I hope that you had a nice week. I want to thank everyone who assisted in making Sunday such a great day. Thank you Elizabeth Warner, for the special wood wind number...I always enjoy hearing you play. Thanks Jr. Choir for your message in song.
      
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 77th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "How do we live the 5th Gospel?"
                       
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 1 of 16, "Introduction..." 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, "Hope in the midst of hassles."
                                     
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK  for lesson 24 of a 24 lesson series entitled: Introduction to Islam.  Lesson 24 is: "Islamic Apologetics Surveyed". The host for this series is Dr. Timothy Tennent. This is a much more extensive study of Islam than our previous essentials' study. I believe that you will profit greatly from this study.
                                                                           
HERE'S MY QUESTION: "What does the Bible mean when it says Christ descended into Hell?" Click on this LINK . This is an important question to understand.
                                                                     
GRADUATE STUDIES: This is Session 8 of 10 under Bibliology Hermeneutics. Click on this LINK . This lesson is "Inerrancy". 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 Pornography. Click this LINK for the article:"How a wife can deal with her spouse's pornography problem." This is a difficult subject to be aware of...even though it may not apply to you.
                                                           
LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished. If you're alive, it isn't." Richard Bach. Here is a humorous bonus by that great (and now deceased) baseball player and philosopher, Yogi Berra, to lighten your day. This is from one of Yogi's family members, keeping up the tradition. Nicholas said: "I'm hiding these right here!".?. Just like Yogi.
 
My desire for you this week is to continue to fulfill your mission!
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
