Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised. Amen.

Sermon - ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL 

11-10-13

Pastor Bob Bushman

Text: Ephesians 4:1-6

I, a prisoner in the Lord, encourage you to live the kind of life which proves that God has called you. 

Be humble and gentle in every way. 

Be patient with each other and lovingly accept each other. 

Through the peace that ties you together, do your best to maintain the unity that…

I really hope this blog doesn't cause anyone to be sad.

I feel trapped,like I am ready to cry. I have been trapped for 18 years,ever since I was 3 years old. I didn't heal because once one pain was over with another problem would soon arrive.

I'm still that broken child,I never got to heal.

I've never healed of my past hurts,they only just got compacted together. I thought I was healing but I realize I'm still broken.

So much…

I finally understand why I have felt like a child trapped in pain that never truly grew up. So much has happened. I have missed my first home so much. We moved when I was 2. That is when life was good. Even though I only have a few memories I miss it. Well except when the neighbor yelled at us,the lady in the big yellow dress.

Things went wrong starting at 3. I have kept so much from people because I haven't been able to express my pain or fear properly too well verbally. I…

Yesterday I attended a seminar on Evangelism. I found it very useful and practical but also very thought provoking and challenging. Do I consider myself an evangelist...? Er...No. I am just little old me. In all honesty knocking someone's door and telling them all about the gospel scares the life out of me! Next question - Do I love Jesus? Yes! OK, so one final question - Do I want people who don't yet love Jesus, to love Jesus? Yes!!! Most definitely yes! Well in that case then, I am an…

I feel so empty and void inside.

I'm kind of afraid to say anything because I don't want to make anyone sad by reading my depressing blog.

I just want to see Jesus. I want to be held by Him and to feel no more pain. I'm looking forward to that day. Life has been filled with so much sorrow and pain.

Ever since I was very little I've been peoples' escape goat to scream at,pick on and a number of other things.

It's like I was born…

Why does it seem like I'm just a burden to the world?

I can't wait to see Jesus,to be in His arms and get a hug. I know I'm not a burden to Him.

I can't help but cry. I'm tired that I cause so much pain. Why can't I stop being such a burden? Why do I cause so much pain?

I wish I could see Jesus. Only He can truly understand the pain my heart feels right now.

Banners and flags have an important place in both the Old and New Testaments. There are three words in Hebrew which represent the concept of a banner or flag:

• degal (daw-gal) - to flaunt, i.e. raise up a flag; to be conspicuous
• nec (nace) - a flag; also a sail; a signal; a token-banner, pole, sail, ensign, standard
• nacac (naw-sas) - to gleam from afar, i.e., to be conspicuous as a signal…

Jesus and Love.  1 Timothy 1.15-17

Hello. …

The believing hope and prospect of eternal life, should make us steady and constant in our Christian course. There is difference of gifts and graces, yet, being renewed by the same Spirit, we are brethren. To stand fast in the Lord, is to stand fast in his strength, and by his grace.

Let believers be of one mind, and ready to help each other. As the apostle had found the benefit of their assistance, he knew how comfortable it would be to his fellow-labourers to have the help of…

In context:  First Timothy, Chapter One

Ya know, at different times, I have read the Bible because I knew I should—because well, it was the right thing for a Christian to…
