Today we are continuing our study of the religion of Islam by looking at the integrity of the Koran. Is the Koran, the Bible of Islam, really trustworthy?

Welcome you to our study of the subject of prayer. We're going to be thinking about some of God's laws that govern the subject of prayer, and how we can know those so that our prayer life will be so much richer.
The Bible teaches that if I'm going to pray in a way that it really is according to the will of God, 1 John 5:14-16, I must pray through the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Praying by His authority, His guidance, and in His name is one of the first laws that governs the subject of prayer. Listen to the words of Jesus as He speaks on this in the gospel of John chapter 14. Jesus taught His disciples in John 14:13, “And whatever you ask in my
name that I will do that the Father may be glorified in the Son, if you ask anything in my name, I will do it.”

We hope that you get your Bible and stay tuned as we're going to study this very encouraging subject together.
The Greek word that you find in the New Testament for elder is really a combination of several different words. In fact, in our English Bible, there are six English words that are used to describe the office of an elder. Yet, in the Greek New Testament there are only three words.
We're going to take just a moment to discuss those words to help us understand exactly what office it is, what work it is that we're talking about in the New Testament.

When we think about the life and work of an elder one of the things that stands out as premier in his life is that an elder has got to, with love and compassion, watch out for and warn the people of God about anything that has the potential to jeopardize their souls.
Now where do we find this? Again the principles we're looking at on the life and work of an elder. Later, we'll look at the life and work of the gospel preacher.

As we examine the life and the work of the gospel preacher, what an awesome privilege it is to proclaim the message of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Paul said, “I thank God who enabled me to preach the gospel,” 1 Timothy 1:11-12. It is a privilege, and it's an awesome responsibility to proclaim the saving message of Jesus Christ.
What is the life and the work of a gospel preacher all about? What makes up the qualities of a good minister of Jesus Christ? 1 Timothy 4:12-16.

As always we encourage you to locate your Bible and let's study together as we think about this good subject.
What is a gospel preacher really like?
In our previous lesson, we noted some of the principles Paul laid out in his address to the Ephesian elders.
Today we continue with that idea identifying what makes a good evangelist, a good preacher of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We began with this very important principle gospel preachers must realize: don't let the trials and tribulations we face keep us from preaching the gospel.
Look at Acts 20:24. Paul has talked about some of the things he's dealt with, and some of the persecution that he's endured. What is Paul thinking when he says, “But none of these things move me?”

We welcome you today to our study of the religion of Islam. Today in particular, we're going to be asking the question: Was Muhammad a prophet of God or was he a religious impostor? Can we look at the evidence and can we know one way or the other? There is ample evidence to show that Muhammad was not a prophet
of God. He was indeed a religious impostor. Why do we need to consider whether Muhammad was a prophet or not? What does that really have to do with the religion of Islam?
