by Delman Coates on August 29th, 2023
“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” - Colossians 3:17 A common misconception is that the rewards for obedience to God are solely eternal.

by Delman Coates on August 28th, 2023
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” - Proverbs 3:5-6 One of the most profound truths we can embrace is that we will never regret trusting God and being obedient to Him.

by Ministry Support on December 27th, 2022

Freedom Not Frustration
by Ministry Support on December 8th, 2022
“And when you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in private. And your Father, who se... Read More

by Ministry Support on December 30th, 2020
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) As we close out another year, we are often encouraged to look back on the last 12 months and think about all we have for which to be thankful. But if we’re being honest, sometimes it can be difficult to be thankful when our circumstances aren’t ideal. After... Read More
