Bible Study

What is this?

Welcome to BK's BS (Brent Kassing's Bible Study).

From May of 2020 to October of 2021, I recorded a weekly 15 minute devotional every Wednesday live on Instagram, and uploaded it here and to YouTube. My purpose in doing so was to stay connected with a regular practice that occurs during our mission trips to Brazil. My goals were to:
1. Figure out a way to stay in touch with the Bible, without just reading the Bible for the sake of reading it. How can this applied today?
2. Be vulnerable and address topics personal to me and perhaps not so popular in the secular world.
3. Grow in my faith.

I'm very happy with how this practice met these goals. What's next? I'm not so sure…..but I do know Who to go to ask….

God Bless.

We are living in world where not only do we want justice, but we also demonize and shame those who disagree with us or who have done evil. This is not to appease those who have committed crimes. However, it's to remind us all as Christians that those who have fallen still can be redeemed and saved here on earth.

Your past does not equal your future

April 21, 2021 Filed in: God's Plan | Missionary written by: Brent Kassing

Are you letting your past shame stop you from moving forward to greatness in the future? What would have happened if Paul (Saul) did that? Would Christianity had spread at a similar pace? What about your pastors? Do you think they have anything in their past they are not proud of? Sure they do. But they continue to teach and inspire. And you, despite your past, can and will be used by God for greatness!

Can you hear it?

How many times have you said or thought, "I don't know God's plan for me?"

The question I ask for you, "Have you been listening"?

When God tells you Nope

What happens when you think you are doing everything God is asking of you only to find out what you thought you were going to do got completely changed around? How do you handle it? How should you handle it?

I've been doing these for over year. What are some of the main themes I've talked about and what lessons have I learned? How has it impacted me and will I continue to do them going forward?

What's it like planting a church during a pandemic? In this extended conversation, we meet Josh Cody, pastor of Hope Point KC who talks about life as a new church in a new city…and the crazy, miraculous and inspiring events that have happened during his two years in the KC area.

What about Bob

If you are anything like me, you often thought the opportunity to lead a devotion or share the Word with others was the role of the Pastor. But as we all know, that's not accurate. Let's hear about my new friend Bob….

36 Hours in Florida

February 24, 2021 Filed in: Faith | Missionary written by: Brent Kassing

How are you preparing for life? Do you try to insulate yourself or do you look to challenge yourself? Physical. Mental. Spiritual. 36 hours not knowing what my next step was going to be. I do things like this because I know we are going to be challenged going forward. Most importantly, I know God will challenge me, and my answer to his request of me, are "lets do this."

Opposite

February 17, 2021 Filed in: Faith | Missionary written by: Brent Kassing

How many things have you said no to in your life that you wish instead you had said yes? Physical, mental and spiritual health only increase by taking on new adventures and putting yourself in challenging situation. That's what I'm doing this weekend when I received an invite for which I would typically say no to…..but this time I said yes. I did the opposite.
