July 5th, 2016...Training Material

Greetings on this July 5th, Tuesday morning. I hope that you had a nice week and a great holiday...I know that I did. I want to thank everyone who assisted in making Sunday such a great day. Thanks to all who were involved in the communion setup. Thank you Jan Foltz, for the special number in song...a very nice arrangement.
    
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 76th 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's 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 10 lessons (one each week). This is Lesson 10 of 10, "Last Things." from the module: Understanding Theology with Dr. Bruce Ware 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, "Planting Seeds."
                                   
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK  for lesson 23 of a 24 lesson series entitled: Introduction to Islam.  Lesson 23 is: "The Christian Community in an Islamic Context". 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.

GRADUATE STUDIES: This is Session 7 of 10 under Bibliology Hermeneutics. Click on this LINK . This lesson is "Proving Inspiration...". 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.

LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "Make your life a mission - not an intermission." Unknown. 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. Maria said: "I double-checked it six times.".?. Just like Yogi.
 
My desire for you this week is expressed in this verse: "We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed." II Cor. 4:8.
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
