Wayne Simien visits the BSG

I am blessed to have a Bible study where I work.  Wayne Simien came and spoke there last Thursday.

I got to introduce Wayne, one of my all-time favorite Jayhawk basketball heroes.  Wayne explained why he walked away from a pro basketball career to pursue Christian ministry with Called to Greatness.

Wayne proved to be just a regular guy, completely humble and fun to hang out with.  He shared his testimony of coming to faith in Christ while in college, gave some unique insight into the life of a professional athlete, and encouraged the audience to follow Christ in every aspect of life.  His message is worth listening to; in fact I hope entire families will gather and listen together!  CLICK HERE to download the audio.

Parenting Seminar Mp3

The Bible study group at my work put on a parenting seminar luncheon on August 4th. The guest speaker was our very own Dan Pentimone, a pastor at Christ Fellowship of KC, who also works with me downtown!

Whether you have children now or plan to in the future, you will benefit from this study!

One of the toughest jobs you will ever face is parenting. With all the influences confronting your children, how do you assure that you have the strongest influence? Join the Bible Study Group in KC for lunch as we discover what the Bible says about this important topic.

• Do you want children who respect and honor you?
• Are you preparing your children to face the tough decisions of life?
• Is it really possible to raise children where you have the strongest influence over them even through their teen years?

Christ at Work! Unlocking the "Mystery" of the Bible

In May, Dan Pentimone taught a Bible Study at the BSG in which he gave an overview of the entire Bible in 3 lessons! This was one of our most successful studies to date! Dan was really bringing the Word and the Spirit was pleased to use him! If you can take a listen to these messages and look over the powerpoints and handout, I guarantee you will walk away with a 'big picture' view of this Great Story (of which we are a part!) and a fresh sense of wonder at the God who authored it!

• Part 1 * PPT1 * AUDIO1
  
• Part 2 * PPT2 * AUDIO2
• Part 3 * PPT3 * AUDIO3

Here is the handout that pulls it all together.

Christ at Work!

It is a huge blessing to work for a company that sponsors employee network groups, including a Bible Study Group. We occasionally have guest speakers who come and share from God's Word.

This post is a way to 'open the vault' so to speak and share this treasure of Biblical wisdom from some of the guest speakers to the Bible Study Group since early 2008. These recordings worked best for converting into mp3 audio (unfortunately several others could not be converted due to technical issues).
