REMINDER: Please join us tomorrow, Wed., Dec. 14th from 10am – 11am CENTRAL for our ChurchNET free teleconference. Everyone is welcome.
December 14th - “3 Fast and Easy Ways To Generate
Topic Description: Many Pastors and Bible Teachers create
terrific teaching material every week that never sees the light of day again.
The internet provides a unique platform to create materials that can be distributed to a global audience. If you would ever sell a Christian book in a book store, then why not create materials for sale online? It's fun, easy and can be on the market for less than $20. Pastors who struggle to make sure the bills are paid, can use these resources to fund their ministry and home.
Brief Bio: Bishop James I Feel God Brown, also known as, “The Internet’s Favorite Pastor” is widely considered one of the web’s leading ministry and marketing consultants. He specializes in teaching the fundamentals of web ministry and business.
His common sense approach to using the Internet for Ministry and Business has made him an in-demand trainer, publisher, and listening ear. He has helped hundreds and hundreds of people establish and grow online ministries and businesses since 2001, and has created *numerous best-selling internet bible studies and marketing courses*.
Along with his partner for life Pastor Linda Brown the powerful duo minister to the “up and out”, as well as, “the down and out”. Their ministry is quite diverse but has a firm grounding on the Word of God and “the demonstration of the Spirit and Power”. They believe the churches mission statement should mirror Jesus’: to preach, heal, deliver, recover, and empower. Bishop is a respected community leader and organizer, in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, having served as an Assistant Event Coordinator for Promise Keepers and Convoy of Hope, both serving thousands.
In addition to being a powerful preacher and teacher, he is known as a prolific writer. His columns and articles are widely distributed on the internet and many print publications. He has also been instrumental in developing or producing several books by other pastors who were seeking to expand their ministries.
Believing that the church must be innovative and creative in order to reach this end time generation, Bishop Brown is active in utilizing and implementing technology for the spread of the Gospel. Having attended Michigan State University, he applies his expertise as a software engineer for the Kingdom of God. From internet web sites to CD duplication to print publications, Bishop Brown stands at the forefront of technological innovation for the Kingdom of God.
When he’s not working, Bishop is found spending time with his family (lovely wife Linda, Sons James and Todd, Daughter Tiffany, Grandsons Julian, Ralph, Hayden, and Noah, and Granddaughters Toddrianna and Morgan) and friends, attending his local church, and visiting yard sales.
He has a daily weekday devotional called the “Morning Encourager” available by text message, Twitter, and Facebook

Church Leadership: What works for our teens in church? What can we do about reaching them?
I saw this posting on the churchemarketingsucks.com website and I thought it was just plain GREAT!
We continue to miss the mark with young adults and teens in church, and there are a number of reasons why.
Ty, in the article below, clearly articulates why many of the approaches, we think should work, don't work.
I want my grandchildren in the Kingdom period! If I have to change my approach to reach them, so be it.
I just CANNOT and WILL NOT change the message. That position is non-negotiable and non-adjustable.
How do you feel about what Ty has to say?
Are you offended or motivated? Do you think he is right?
Tell us what you think after your read his plea.
In Him,

A Teenager’s Plea: Don’t Suck
by Ty Buckingham
There are some things that just get to me.
When I leave the Taco Bell drive through knowing, without even looking into the bag, that they have messed up my order.
I certainly don’t like it when I end up shaking hands and it was supposed to be a fist bump. That’s just awkward.
Those are little.
What seriously gets to me is when there is a lack in how the church talks to us. Especially as a teenager in high school, I couldn’t feel more neglected by the church at times.
Christian Leadership: Thanksgiving Sermon Ideas
Thanksgiving Sermon Ideas From Preachit
Scripturally, you will find the ritual of thanksgiving nearly from cover to cover. Individuals offered up sacrifices out of gratitude in the book of Genesis. The Israelites sang a song of thanksgiving as they were delivered from Pharaoh's army after the crossing of the Red Sea (Exodus 15). Also Later, the Mosaic Law set aside three separate times each year when the Israelites would gather together. All three of these times Unleavened Bread (also called the Feast of the Passover) (Exodus 12:15-20Exodus 12:15-20
English: World English Bible - WEB
15 Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 16 In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no manner of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you. 17 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall you observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever. 18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening. 19 Seven days shall there be no yeast found in your houses, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a foreigner, or one who is born in the land. 20 You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you shall eat unleavened bread.’”

English: World English Bible - WEB
15 “‘You shall count from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be completed: 16 even to the next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall number fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal offering to Yahweh. 17 You shall bring out of your habitations two wave-loaves of two tenth parts of an ephah: they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baked with yeast, for first fruits to Yahweh. 18 You shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to Yahweh, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Yahweh. 19 You shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings. 20 The priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering before Yahweh, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to Yahweh for the priest. 21 You shall make proclamation on the same day: there shall be a holy convocation to you; you shall do no regular work. This is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

English: World English Bible - WEB
33 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 34 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tents for seven days to Yahweh. 35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation: you shall do no regular work. 36 Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no regular work.
