Wednesday Evening Session at #USMB2018

"I am not a slave to fear.  I am a child of God."

Brad Burkholder, Lead Pastor of Hesston MB Church shared a testimony of three blessings in his life and church.

Our speaker for the evening was Henock Tsegaye, Lead Pastor at Ethiopian Christian Fellowship Church from Olathe, Kansas.

Ephesians 2:11-22-One of the greatest divisions is between Jews and Gentiles. But the division is broken down by God himself.  Because of Jesus, there is no more slave or free, no more Jew or Gentile.

Acts 8-Ethiopian saved
Acts 9-Paul saved
Acts 10-Roman saved
The salvation plan is not only for the Jewish but for all nations.

There are no boundaries, no limitations for the oneness that God has created.

Ephesians 4:3-Humbleness will help the unity to be maintained. Gentleness is one of the fruit of the Spirit (power under God's control). The most important thing to keep unity is love (agape is unselfish and willingly gives). When the peace of God dwells in our hearts, we can keep unity with others.
