Early to bed, early to rise makes a man wealthy, healthy and wise. Right? Sure…

This week we discussed proverbs in depth, and played a little Proverb fill-in-the blank. I hope you enjoyed and learned a bit as we had fun with them. This week’s handout and PowerPoint file about studying Proverbs is in a zip file. Several of you mentioned that you’ve had trouble opening these.

If you’re using Windows XP or Vista, you have a built-in zip file opener. If not, you’ll need to download something like WinZip or 7Zip to do the trick.

To open the zip files, after you’ve got one of those programs or operating systems–simply right click on the link, select “save target as” and once the file is downloaded, click open. This will open a folder that will show you all of the files inside. A zip file is basically a compressed package that holds several files within it…that way, you only have to download one file instead of two or three, and I only have to upload one. See? Win-win! :-)

You then should be able to see the files. This week’s package includes a PDF Handout (requires Acrobat Reader) and a PowerPoint Viewer (either from Microsoft or a third-party). If you have any questions, please send me an email or leave them in the comments.

I hope you enjoyed our discussion about the temple, famous last words, and what it means to be a man. Our lesson PowerPoint led us through some of that conversation.

Here’s the awareness test video and the temple fly-through.

Here’s this week’s powerpoint — enjoy! :)

This week’s files are an overview to understanding the Psalms of the Bible. We delved a bit into the basics of Hebrew poetry, literary devices, as well as categorization of psalms. We closed with a bit of homework: analyze a particular psalm using the analysis form. If you’re reading here, feel free to share your results in the comments. :)

This week we dipped a bit into restoration history to tell the stories of two preachers in Nashville: Jesse B Ferguson and David Lipscomb. One you’ve heard of, the other you haven’t

Here’s the Powerpoint..

This week we studied Saul and his mistakes — and the class made the PowerPoint in class. I’ve also included in our class files a PDF that describes some of the ways that David prefigured Christ.

Download zipped class notes on Saul and David from week 15.

Well, they asked for it, and boy, do they get it. I hope you enjoyed reading about the beginning of Israel’s monarchy this past week. Here’s a compressed version of our PowerPoint lecture.
