Worth the Wait
by Delman Coates on March 26th, 2023
“Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore He exalts Himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him.” - Isaiah 30:18 Because I struggle with waiting, I wanted to understand the psychology behind the frustration that accompanies waiting. “Why,” I wondered, “do we get annoyed, upset, or irritated when we have to wait?” And ...

Freedom in Christ
by Delman Coates on February 27th, 2023
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” - John 8:32 Oftentimes, people may believe that religion creates bondage and that it only holds a laundry list of things you cannot do. However, Christianity, in particular, is a vehicle for understanding Christ and the freedom that comes with salvation. In John 8:32, Jesus speaks to the Jews saying, “Then you will know the truth, a... Read More

See It Themselves
by Ministry Support on February 9th, 2023
“Jesus said to her, ‘Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?” - John 11:40 Have you ever met someone who does not believe what you say until they have seen it with their own eyes? These people might label themselves as “cautious,” but in reality, they are just naturally skeptical. They refuse to believe until their own eyes have seen. These are the type of people t...

When They Miss The Mark
by Ministry Support on January 8th, 2023
“They kept demanding an answer, so He stood up again and said, ‘All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!’” - John 8:7 Over the past week, we have discussed the futility of perfectionism. As human beings, we are not and cannot be perfect. If we make perfection our goal, we are setting ourselves up for failure. God has set us free from the strenuous law of the Old Test... Read More

by Ministry Support on October 15th, 2022

I’m Getting My Power Back
by Ministry Support on August 21st, 2021
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” - Isaiah 40:31 Earlier this year, a power outage gripped the state of Texas. There were massive utility failures, water and food shortages, and frigid temperatures that threatened the lives of citizens in one of the nation’s most popul... Read More

Less Saying, More Doing
by Ministry Support on September 20th, 2020
And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8) Yesterday, we talked about the three things the Lord requires of us as His followers: justice, mercy, and humility. Today, I want to take a closer look at what each of these words mean. The Hebrew word “mispat,” translated “justice,” means essentially to correct oppression. It is... Read More

Justice, Mercy, and Humility
by Ministry Support on September 19th, 2020
With what shall I come before the Lord and bow down before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require... Read More

Praying For Sinners
by Ministry Support on August 3rd, 2020
In you they have treated father and mother with contempt; in you they have oppressed the foreigner and mistreated the fatherless and the widow. You have despised my holy things and desecrated my Sabbaths. In you are slanderers who are bent on shedding blood; in you are those who eat at the mountain shrines and commit lewd acts. In you are those who dishonor their father’s bed; in you are those who... Read More
