Biblical Counseling Cohort Interest Meeting

Have you thought about becoming a biblical counselor? East Tennessee Biblical Counseling is currently training 17 people across four churches in pursuit of their vision to train people in local churches to become biblical counselors.
This fall, EastTNBC will launch its third training cohort! An interest meeting is planned to help potential members learn about the program and explore if biblical counseling training is their next step.

GO Spotlight
train leaders
One of our 5 Go Pursuits is Train Leaders. By training leaders we advance the gospel to people groups and regions that would otherwise be out of reach. Sometimes we equip teachers, pastors, and missionaries and train them to train and send their church members to advance the gospel themselves in their contexts.
In the month of March we sent two of our pastors to do such work. Pastor Daniel trained pastors at a Baptist college in Nairobi, Kenya and spent time encouraging local church leaders while also visiting a girls orphanage and school. Pastor Paul taught courses at Ethiopia Theological Seminary, spoke at a pastors’ training event, and preached at a church in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Give2Go was proud to help support this important work in Africa.

Family Discipleship
PreSchool BIG TRUTH:
GOD GIVES MERCY TO THE UNJUST
BIBLE VERSE: JAMES 2:13B
“Mercy triumphs over judgment.”
BIG IDEAS
- God, who is just, pursues those who are unjust.
- There is no human being who deserves God’s mercy.
- God gives mercy to those who turn from sin and trust in Him.
- God’s mercy triumphs over judgment through the true and greater Jonah.
HOOK
Using a children’s Bible, read the story of Jonah to your child. Talk about how God shows mercy to those who don’t deserve it. Help your child think through the things he or she does that make them undeserving of God’s mercy and then talk about how God still shows mercy
