“Love Flows Down and Love Flows Out”
Steven A. Bush

“Go and Tell, Come and See”
Steven A. Bush
This is the Messiah, the Righteous One, the One who bore our sin, died in our place, rose from the dead, ascended on high, sent His Holy Spirit to dwell within us, Him who rules & reigns from that very throne, prays for us unworthy ones, and has promised to return to raise the dead and consummate His Kingdom.
“Come Out of the Shadows”
Steven A. Bush

“Bitter Roots Bear Poison Fruits”
Steven A. Bush
Where do bitter roots come from? A person gets hurt or offended or slighted. It may’ve been deliberate or unintentional. It may’ve been an offense that was perceived but not actual.
“The Victory of All Victories”
Steven A. Bush
