Panel Discussion – SBC and Its Future - sorry there is audio in the first five minutes or so, the video is delayed and kicks in about the 5 minute mark.
Alvin Reid – “Passion and Power: Marks of Men Who Lead Movements”
Bruce Ashford – Luke 14:25-33 “Men and Idolatry”
Darrin Patrick – “Gospel, Men and Marriage”
Kenny Qualls – 1 Corinthians 16:8-9 “Living a Life on Mission for Jesus”
What is “B21 Men on Mission” A one-day event covering the topics of men in the Church and men on mission.
Why this topic? There seems to be a tendency for men in our culture to be complacent and take the path of ease, or to be grown children who are consumers and those who are limited on commitment. However, God’s mission calls them instead to something radically different, courage, commitment, and action. Come hear godly, experienced ministers lay out God’s mission for men, especially young men, in the world and in service to His Church.
When is this event? Monday MAY 10 (Noon to 5pm)
Where is this event? First Baptist Church Arnold, Missouri (about 30 minutes from St. Louis, MO)
