November 14, 2016...Training Material

Greetings on this November 14th, Monday morning. 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 Jan Foltz,  for the special music in song...a very nice number.
                                          
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 96th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "Why do Christians suffer?". 
                       
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 4 of 31 (I am skipping the Intro), "How We Received the 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: "Your Use of Time" Click this LINK.                                                                      
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK  for lesson 4 of a 17 lesson series entitled: Pursuing Spiritual Maturity.  Lesson 4 is: "Becoming a Mature Witness for Christ". 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: "Is it OK to have a home Church?" Click on this LINK . This is a good question. You need to ask why you are starting a home church. That is a good starting point.   
              
GRADUATE STUDIES: This is Session 6 of 10 under Humanity and Sin. Click on this LINK . This lesson is "What Happened at the Fall...pt. 1?" 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:"Helping the Suicidal Person." Be prepared to offer solid advice.    
               
LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure." Colin Powell.
                     
My desire for you this week is that you learn from your failures. 
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
