Equipping to Serve Workshop Resources

Since we closed down the School of Ministry we started a series of workshops called "Equipping to Serve" for all the Calvary Chapels in Romania. So far we have done three workshops- the gospel, Bible overview and How to study the Bible. Below are links to download the PowerPoints and handouts from the two Bible workshops and the video channel for all the teachings. All these downloadable resources are only in Romanian, as well as the teaching of the last two workshops.

Updated Gospel Series Resources

I forgot to add a link to download the videos I showed during the powerpoints. So here is what I added to my last blog entry:


PowerPoint Videos (93.5 MB)

I played three videos with the PowerPoints. Only the first one, Hubble Ultra Deep Field 3-D, is embedded in the first powerpoint slide 29, "Why is the Gospel Important?". I think you should put this video in the same file as the PowerPoint. The other two are not embedded but have a photo slide to indicate when they should be played. "A doua sansa - Jean" is shown in the fifth powerpoint slide 66, "How Do I Share My Testimony?" and "Isus al meu/My Jesus" is shown in the seventh powerpoint slide 67, "Why Don't Christians Live the Gospel?".

Links to Gospel Series Resources

Here are links to the videos, handouts and powerpoints from the 10 week gospel series I did. There is no powerpoint for week 6 as we watched the Hope DVD that week. On the gospel list you will find what handouts were given out each week.

To download the videos you would have to become a member then log-in. You can't download the videos from the channel page. What you would do is click on the title in the embedded video on the channel page and that will take you to the video's full page where you will find the button to download on the lower right part of the page. You will have to scroll down the page a bit to see the button.

How Do I Defend the Gospel? (Video & Notes)

The is the ninth and final teaching in a series I did on the gospel of Jesus Christ at Calvary Chapel Bucuresti on March 8, 2009. We looked at why we should defend the gospel, what apologetics is and it's goals and limitations, guidelines for doing apologetics and what the Bible says about how we deal with people. We finished by looking at arguments for the existence of God, for the Bible being the Word of God, the ten most common objections to Christianity and the "test drive" proof.

What are God's Purpose in the Gospel for Me (Video & Notes)

This is the eighth in a series of in-depth teachings I did on the gospel of Jesus Christ at our church,Calvary Chapel Bucuresti, on March 1, 2009. We looked at three purposes: 1. To be His Child. 2. To Follow and Obey Jesus. 3. To Become Like Jesus. As we looked at these three purposes we also looked at what it means to be a disciple, how we love God and people, what is character and it's importance and what Jesus did during His earthly life that we should apply to ours.
