October 24, 2016...Training Material

Greetings on this October 24th, 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 Choir,  for the special music in song. Thanks, Lauran Bethell, for sharing with us the important work you do with ABC. It was very interesting and challenging...we wish you well in your ministry.
                                    
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 93rd apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "Are Mormons Christians?". 
                       
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 16 of 16, "The Power of the Gospel." 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: "Waiting." Click this LINK.                                                                  
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK  for lesson 1 of a 17 lesson series entitled: Pursuing Spiritual Maturity.  Lesson 1 is: "Introduction". 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: "What is the function of  deacons?" Click on this LINK .      
        
GRADUATE STUDIES: This is Session 3 of 10 under Humanity and Sin. Click on this LINK . This lesson is "What is man...Pt.2?" 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:"Managing Stress." Be prepared to offer advice to others that is biblical.    
         
LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "The most important thing about goals is having one." G. F. Abert.
               
My desire for you this week is that you have chosen important goals. 
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
