February 12, 2018...Discipleship Training Material.

Greetings on this snowy, Monday afternoon. It is my hope and desire that you will gain much help in this edition of my blog...but you do have to study. Take your time...stretch out the lesson material over the week. If you put in the time, you will grow spiritually.
                                                                                                                                                                 
 
LEADERSHIP APOLOGETICS: Click this LINK for our 162nd apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "A Conversation About the Emergent Church."
                                                                                                                  

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 desire 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 40 lessons (one each week). This is Lecture 38 of 40, from the module: A Guide to Christian Theology with Dr. Gerry Breshears as teacher. Click this LINK for the lesson, "Eternal State". Visit their website and see that there are different levels for your involvement. By registering with them (free and necessary), 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: "Getting Your Priorities Straight." Click on this LINK.                                                                                                                                                             
ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP: Click this LINK for a multi-lesson [new series] Parables of Jesus.  This is lesson 1 of 30: "The Parabolic Sayings".  The host for this series is Hampton Keathly, IV. I believe that you will profit greatly from this study of Jesus' parables.
                                                                           
HERE'S MY QUESTION: "Will we see the Holy Spirit in Heaven?" Click on this LINK to read the answer.
                                                 
GRADUATE LEVEL THEOLOGY STUDIES: This is Session 1 of 10 under Soteriology. Click on this LINK . This lesson is "Introduction and Ordo Salutis (order of salvation)." These are video lessons (they also have an audio version available on the same page). As of May 8, 2017, 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 of study is Forgiveness . Click this LINK for the  article:"What Makes Forgiveness So Hard?" Be prepared to offer solid advice...share this link with anyone who needs to read this.

DAILY JOURNEY: This material is from John Ankerberg...his thoughts about various Bible passages. February 12...Daily Journey Entry. LINK.

My desire for you this week is that you see the overall unity of the Old and NT.
