Convinced in Your Heart
by Delman Coates on October 28th, 2024
“Let whoever is of a generous heart bring the Lord’s offering.” - Exodus 35:5 What motivates you to give? Is it obligation or a deep sense of gratitude? In Exodus, we see that only those whose hearts were stirred, those convinced of God’s goodness, brought their offerings for the construction of the sanctuary. This wasn’t about pressure or guilt, it was about conviction. Think about who God was... Read More

Shift Your Focus
by Delman Coates on July 9th, 2024
"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."- Genesis 50:20 I want you to understand something today: if you never heal from what hurt you, you’ll bleed on people who never cut you. Jesus understood that His assignment wasn’t to bleed "on" people but to bleed "for" them. For Jesus, this shift came in the form of asking no... Read More

Chase “The Great”
by Delman Coates on May 18th, 2023
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” - Galatians 6:9 When you choose to delay gratification and give up what seems “good” in the moment, you will earn eternal rewards.

by Ministry Support on January 10th, 2023
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.” - John 13:34 Love cannot be conditional.

And if you do good to those who are good to you, ... Read More

Who fights against your cause? Who are your “enemies?” When you hear the word, “enemies,” who comes to mind? As we discussed yesterday, if you are doing the work of Christ and obediently chasing after the will of G... Read More

What Is Presence?
by Ministry Support on December 21st, 2022
“And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.” - Hebrews 13:16 When we need God, He shows up. He provides for all our needs because that is who He is and what He does. Although we are not God, we are called to be like Jesus. And because of that, we too can show up for others. As we stated yesterday, perhaps the greatest ministry the church... Read More

But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask for.’” - John 11:20-22 John 11 gives us a great example of what we should do when discouragement or disappointment rears its ugly head in our lives.

by Ministry Support on November 11th, 2020
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” – Mark 10:27 For the past 43 years and over 9 blockbuster films, fans of Star Wars have been waiting to see how it would all end.
