Greetings on this August 22nd, Monday morning. I hope that you had a great week. I want to thank everyone who assisted in making Sunday a great day. Thank you Church Family, for the special efforts surrounding participation in "Back To The Bricks". We accomplished the task! 
                  
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 83rd apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "What are the marks of a cult?" 
                       
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 7 of 16, "Translation Philosophy." 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, "Five Tips for Resolving Conflict in Your Marriage."
                                                 
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK  for lesson 6 of a 14 lesson series entitled: God's Battle Plan for Purity.  Lesson 6, strategy 5 is: "Guard Our Ears". The host for this series is Dr. Gregory Brown. I believe that you will profit greatly from this study.
                                                                           
HERE'S MY QUESTION: "Was the Last Supper a Passover Seder?" Click on this LINK . This is an interesting question... there is controversy on the subject.                                                                    
GRADUATE STUDIES: This is Session 4 of 10 under Trinitarianism. Click on this LINK . This lesson is "The Incommunicable Attributes of God, Part 1". 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 Self-esteem. Click this LINK for the article:"Coping with Low Self-Esteem." Be prepared to offer advice to others that is biblical.
                                                           
LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people who live what they teach, who walk their talk." Tony Robbins.
 
My desire for you this week is for you to be one of those who walk the talk!
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
