The Power of Being Real
by Delman Coates on March 29th, 2025
"Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out." - Proverbs 10:9 In today’s world, people work hard to present an image. Social media is filled with carefully curated pictures, polished captions, and profiles that make people look better than they really are. This is why so many get deceived by “catfish” profiles or images that do not match reality.... Read More

What You Put in Matters
by Delman Coates on January 29th, 2025
“And God said, ‘Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.’” - Genesis 1:29 When you think about your body as a temple of God, the choices you make about what you put into it take on spiritual significance. Scripture repeatedly shows us that God cares deeply about how we care for our ... Read More

Stop Talking So Loud
by Delman Coates on January 6th, 2025
"Whoever has ears, let them hear.” - Matthew 11:15 Jesus understood the struggle of those who needed to hear His voice but couldn’t because His followers were talking too loud. The “other sheep” (that we referenced a few days ago) who need to hear His voice are struggling because we, as Christians, often dominate the conversation and drown out the voices of those who are searching for truth. Somet... Read More

In the Meantime
by Delman Coates on October 17th, 2024
“For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let the prophets and the diviners who are among you deceive you, and do not listen to your dreams that you dream. For it is a lie that they are prophesying to you in my name; I did not send them, says the Lord. For thus says the Lord: Only when Babylon’s seventy years are completed will I visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise an... Read More

Reframing the Waiting
by Delman Coates on October 8th, 2024
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." - Jeremiah 29:11 Waiting is never easy. When you’re stuck in a situation that feels beyond your control, it’s easy to grow weary, frustrated, and even discouraged. That’s exactly what was happening to God’s people in the time of Jeremiah. After the Babylonian army tore ... Read More

Help Is on the Way
by Delman Coates on December 13th, 2023
"But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord, because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares." - Jeremiah 30:17 Growing up, I remember watching Western TV shows with my father, where the good guys often found themselves in dire straits, and just when it seemed all hope was lost, the cavalry arrived to save the day. It was a reinforcing band of speciall... Read More

Finding Strength in Christ
by Delman Coates on September 5th, 2023
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” - Philippians 4:13 In the unfolding of Paul's ministry, we encounter a poignant moment when he faced the brutal onslaught of stoning. It wasn't merely an act of punishment; it was a tactic to strike fear into the hearts of those drawn to the message of Jesus. Each stone aimed at Paul's body carried a deeper impact – it bruised the minds of... Read More

Living Water For All
by Ministry Support on October 19th, 2020
A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” (His disciples had gone to the city to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?” (Jews do not share things in common with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you woul... Read More

Faith With Action
by Ministry Support on October 14th, 2020
Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.” The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.” – John 4:13-15 The journey...
