December 26, 20116...Training Material

Greetings on this December 26th, Monday morning...I hope that you had a great Christmas celebration....I know that I did! I want to thank everyone who assisted in making Christmas Sunday a great day. We had a great day of fellowship and sharing the Word of God...and saying good-bye. Thank you Savior Singers and Bud Myers,  for the two special selections in song.
                                                      
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 102nd apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "How Can Evil Reveal God's Greatness?". 
                       
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 10 of 31, "Matthew 5-7" 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: "Are you a Jesus Coach to your kids?" Click this LINK.                                                                               
 
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK  for lesson 10 of a 17 lesson series entitled: Pursuing Spiritual Maturity.  Lesson 10 is: "Beware of Complaining and Arguing.". 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: "According to Ephesians 4:11, shouldn't pastors run the church?" Click on this LINK . This is a good question. You need to ask why you want to become a Pastor.   
                          
GRADUATE STUDIES: This is Session 2 of 10 under Soteriology (Doctrine of Salvation). Click on this LINK . This lesson is "Predestination...Pt.1of 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 Anger Management. Click this LINK for the article:"My Husband is Angry, What Should I Do? " Be prepared to offer solid advice...share this link with anyone who needs to read this. We have started through the articles on this site from the beginning again. Please note the resources listed.

My desire for you this week is that you imagine what can be accomplished.    
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
