November 8, 2016...Training Material

Greetings on this November 8th, Tuesday morning...one day late. I hope that you had a great week. I want to thank everyone who assisted in making Sunday a good day. We had a great day of fellowship and sharing the Word of God. Thank you Choir,  for the special music in song...nice work. A mighty thank you to all of our veterans!
                                        
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 95th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "Is Rob Bell a Universalist?". 
                       
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 3 of 31 (I am skipping the Intro), "Can We Trust Our Bible?" 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: "God is Good! Give Thanks!" Click this LINK.                                                                      

ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK  for lesson 3 of a 17 lesson series entitled: Pursuing Spiritual Maturity.  Lesson 3 is: "Marks of Spiritual Maturity". 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: "How should a church be organized?" Click on this LINK . This is a good question...worthy of your time...may take a little reading.   
            
GRADUATE STUDIES: This is Session 5 of 10 under Humanity and Sin. Click on this LINK . This lesson is "How are people in the "image 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 Suicide. Click this LINK for the article:"Suicide Help." Be prepared to offer advice to others that is biblical and helpful.

My desire for you this week is that you fight the good faith.
