Dear Friends,
Welcome to Bible Center!
Mr. Clutch. Zeke from Cabin Creek. Mr. Outside. The Logo. These are a few nicknames of West Virginia’s own basketball great, Jerry West.
After leading WVU to the 1959 NCAA championship game and earning the Final Four Most Outstanding Player, West embarked on a long career with the Lakers. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1980 and was eventually voted as one of the 50 Greatest Players.
West later took over as head coach of the Lakers for three years and then became their manager. NBA.com credits West in creating the great 1980s Lakers dynasty, which brought five championship rings. How did Kobe Bryant get to LA? Through Jerry West. He also signed six-time champion, Phil Jackson, as coach and free agent, Shaquille O’Neal. (Your kids may only know him as the big guy in the Icy Hot and Gold Bond powder commercials.)
What has West been up to recently? From 2011 until last month, he served on the Golden State Warriors board, maintaining minority ownership.
Why is he so successful? Two words: “fundamental basketball.” He continually plays, coaches and manages by emphasiz-ing the basics.
Today Pastor Chad will be doing something similar in his sermon. No, he won’t be wearing a Lakers outfit, but he will call us to remember the basics–the core teachings of the Bible.
Please join me in praying for Chad as he teaches, for the person next to you, and for your own faith journey.
For the city,
Matt Friend Senior Pastor
