In Possession of a Personal Promise
by Delman Coates on January 10th, 2025
“It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.” - Luke 2:26 Simeon’s story in Scripture is powerful not only because of what he experienced but because of what he held onto. While the Jewish people as a whole were waiting for the Messiah, Simeon had something personal: a unique promise from God. It wasn’t just the general hope that... Read More

The Unlimited Power Of God
by Delman Coates on August 4th, 2024
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." - Ephesians 3:20 God’s power goes beyond our wildest dreams. The Apostle Paul tells us that God's power “exceeds abundantly” beyond anything we can think or imagine. If you could quantify "abundantly," God would surpass that measure. His power far exceeds our capacity t... Read More

Not Ours Anyway
by Ministry Support on July 24th, 2022
“If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.” - Matthew 10:39On their spring break vacation, my daughters were fussing with one another, and they were taking each other’s phones. As they were yelling who owns what, I came into the room and took both of their phones. In that moment, I said to them, “It’s not yours anyway. These belong to me. I... Read More

Do You Want God or What God Has?
by Meghan Garmon on February 15th, 2022
“Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’” - Matthew 22:37 Yesterday, we talked about sacrifice. As a believer, you will have to sacrifice something (probably on more than one occasion) at some point in your life. The Bible says so. Romans 12:1 tells us that we should present our bodies as a living sacrifice to God. God’s Word is f... Read More

by Meghan Garmon on November 24th, 2021

For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” - Luke 6:38 One of the primary ways to show God you are committed to Him is through sacrificial giving and tithing.

Given, Not Earned
by Meghan Garmon on June 12th, 2021
”He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repays us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.” - Psalm 103:10-14 I want to spend one final day remindin... Read More
