The “ABCs” of Acts – Pleasant View Church of Christ
Weekly Adult Bible Class
Beginning Wednesday, September 8, 2021 at 7:00pm
Will also live stream weekly on Facebook Live via the link above

I will be updating this post below with links to PDF copies of the handouts and notes for the class each week as we move to a new chapter in Acts of Apostles.

When I was a student at Lipscomb University back in the mid 90s, Dr. Gerald Fulks, one of the Finance/Economics professors, taught a class every semester on personal evangelism. During that class, he made the argument that it was essential to have a good recollection of the main ideas of the book of Acts when attempting to teach someone God’s plan of salvation.

In keeping with this, Dr. Fulks presented the concept of the ABC Outline as a tool for remembering the key points of each chapter. It works by matching the sequence of the alphabet with the sequence of each chapter (i.e. Chapter 1 = A, Chapter 2 = B, and so on). For each chapter, we were encouraged to come up with a keyword or phrase that captures the main idea, and also begins with the designated letter.

This has been a powerful tool for me, and is something that I have shared with a number of classes through the years. I’ve always challenged my students to come up with their own keywords, and the first link below is to a worksheet for creating your own ABC outline.

During this class we will attempt to cover a chapter of Acts of Apostles each week and then the following week we will ask for suggestions on keywords or phrases that go along with that chapter. By doing this, each student will be able create their own, customized outline. Handouts and notes for each chapter will be posted below as they are available along with live stream recordings from the class.

We are at the beach this week, and for the first time in more than 25 years I’m not either compulsively checking my phone or otherwise worrying about what fires need to be put out at the office or with a client. The reason I’m not doing any of this is because I just retired from the corporate world and Formos (FDH) Consulting, where I was a partner, and am looking to pursue opportunities in ministry.

This is something we’ve been thinking about for quite a while, and Olivia and I finally decided it was time for a new season of life where I can pursue opportunities in the ministry for God’s Kingdom. At this point I’m not sure what this will look like, but my passion is in preaching and teaching the Word of God.

This was not always the case. When I was in college at Lipscomb back in the 90s, I had absolutely no aspirations to be a preacher in any capacity. This began to change when an Elder at Hillsboro Church of Christ asked me to preach on a Sunday evening when I was a senior. After this sermon, the minister, Dr. Marlin Connelly, took me under his wing and for the next 20+ years was my mentor and friend.

Largely because of his influence, I have been able to preach at around 20 different churches over the years in Middle Tennessee for Gospel Meetings, interim and fill-in preaching, vacation bible school, and summer series, all while working full-time in the IT industry. Now I’m ready to make preaching, teaching, and ministry a larger part of my life and am looking at what opportunities and needs are out there. My feeling is that part time / interim work and gospel meetings would be the best fit for me and my family but I’m also praying that God will open doors and give me the courage to walk through them.

So far I’ve committed to co-leading a trip to Israel next year and am meeting with a church in August that is currently going through a transition. I’m also in the process of reaching out to preachers, elders, and others that are tied into the needs of churches in Middle Tennessee to seek advice and see if they know of any opportunities.

For those wanting to keep track of where this journey takes me, I’ll be maintaining my preaching schedule at the following link:

It is pretty thin right now, but I’m confident that God will lead me to many more opportunities in the future.

If anyone reading this knows of any opportunities or has suggestions about people I should speak with, please let me know. Above all, I would appreciate your prayers as we begin this new season of our lives.
