Greetings on this July 24, Tuesday morning (Yes, once again, I am a day late). 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 185th apologetics short video. I believe there is much to learn from these nationally recognized Christian teachers and philosophers. Today's lesson is "Is the Trinity Unscriptural and Unreasonable?"
                                                                                                                                                             
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 52 lessons (one each week). This is Lecture 21 of 52, from the module: "52 Major Stories of the Bible" with Dr. Bill Mounce as teacher. Click this LINK for the lesson, "Isaiah the Suffering Servant". 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.
