“Bold, Courageous, and Unashamed”
Steven A. Bush
Timothy will need courage to not only carry out his leadership duties to the church but face the opposition and persecution that’s coming his way. History records he rises to the occasion as he eventually faces his own martyrdom.
“The Charge to Preach The Word”
Steven A. Bush
When we say we will preach the Word, narrowly we mean the Good News of Jesus Christ as Savior & Lord. More broadly, we mean what Paul called the Whole Counsel of God. That means God’s Word as it pertains to all things, big and small, far and wide.
“Baptism: A Joyful Act of Obedience”
Steven A. Bush
Baptism is a personal passion play declaring the Good News of Jesus Christ and how we’ve been regenerated into new creatures who will dwell with Him forever. And that is joyous beyond words!

“Being and Doing What is Truly Great”
Steven A. Bush
When the Holy Spirit is at work in a church and genuine love for God and one another is real, that’s a pretty sweet fishing spot, the right side of the boat to be casting our nets, the pier from which we want to cast our lines.
“Harvest Time – Workers Needed!”
Steven A. Bush
Who were those vessels and voices that came into your life at just the right time as He was making you His own? No matter who they were, it’s fair to call them laborers. God wants all of us to be one of those.
