by Delman Coates on October 15th, 2024
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” - Jeremiah 29:11 It’s so easy to get fixated on the end goal, isn’t it?

by Ministry Support on May 28th, 2022

When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, ‘Do you want to get well?’” - John 5:5-6When the question is posed the way Jesus said it, it would sound silly to say anything but “yes, I want to get well.” But for many, our actions actually would say, “No, I’m not happy, but ...

by Ministry Support on April 4th, 2022
“The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby.

by Ministry Support on January 11th, 2021
Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
