August 8, 2016...Training Material

Greetings on this August 8th, 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 Brandon Eger, for the special number in song. Thank you to those of you who set up for communion. Thanks to everyone who was part of the going away luncheon for Dan and Marty Hermon...we will miss them.
              
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 81st apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "Is Jesus God?" Listen to this short, concise answer. 
                       
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 5 of 16, "Positive reasons for believing the Bible is reliable." 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, "Taste and See."
                                             
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK  for lesson 4 of a 14 lesson series entitled: God's Battle Plan for Purity.  Lesson 4 is: "Strategy Three: Declare War". The host for this series is Dr. Gregory Brown. I believe that you will profit greatly from this study.
                                                                           
HERE'S MY QUESTION: "Where did Christ go after he died and before he rose from the dead?" Click on this LINK . Put your thinking cap on. This is an interesting question.
                                                                     
GRADUATE STUDIES: This is Session 2 of 10 under Trinitarianism. Click on this LINK . This lesson is "The Knowability of God". 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:"Giver - Take Inventory." Be prepared to offer advice to others that is biblical.
