Greetings on this October 31st, 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 Bud Myers,  for the special music in song...nice job.
                                    
 
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 94th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "What is Hell in a nutshell?". 
                       
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 31 lessons (one each week). This is Lesson 2 of 31 (I am skipping the Intro), "How the Bible was Written." from the module: New Testament, Its Structure, content and Theology with Dr. Bill Mounce 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: "Keep On Going." Click this LINK                                                                   
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK  for lesson 2 of a 17 lesson series entitled: Pursuing Spiritual Maturity.  Lesson 2 is: "Signs of Healthy Church Members". The host for this series is Dr. Gregory Brown. I believe that you will profit greatly from this study from Philippians.
                                                                           
HERE'S MY QUESTION: "Does Titus 1:6 require elders' and deacons' children to be believers?" Click on this LINK . This is a good question...worthy of your time.    
        
 
GRADUATE STUDIES: This is Session 4 of 10 under Humanity and Sin. Click on this LINK . This lesson is "The When, What and How of the Human Soul." 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 Stress Management. Click this LINK for the article:"Stress Inventory." Be prepared to offer advice to others that is biblical.    
         
 
LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score." Bill Copeland.
               
 
My desire for you this week is that you score a touchdown.
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
