October 10, 2016...Training Material

Greetings on this October 10th, Monday morning. I hope that you had a great week. I want to thank everyone who assisted in making Sunday a great day. We had a wonderful day of fellowship and sharing the Word of God. Thank you Dee,  for the special music...it was nice to hear that song again. Thanks, Teens, for the message in song.
                                
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 91st apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "Is the Bible reliable?". 
                       
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 14 of 16, "Scope and cohesiveness of the Bible." 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.

ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK  for lesson 13 of a 14 lesson series entitled: God's Battle Plan for Purity.  Lesson 13, strategy 12 is: "Declare Victory". The host for this series is Dr. Gregory Brown. I believe that you will profit greatly from this study.
                                                                           
HERE'S MY QUESTION: "Does the Lord's church have authority to earn interest on its money?" Click on this LINK .      
     
GRADUATE STUDIES: This is Session 1 of 10 under Humanity and Sin. Click on this LINK . This lesson is "Why did God create man?" 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 Sexual Addictions. Click this LINK for the article:"Overcoming Sexual Addictions." Difficult subject. Be prepared to offer advice to others that is biblical.    
     
LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "History shows us that the people who end up changing the world - the great political, social, scientific, technological, artistic, even sports revolutionaries - are always nuts, until they are right, and then they are geniuses." John Eliot
           
My desire for you this week is that you serve the Lord with all of your might.    
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
