by Delman Coates on August 26th, 2023
“For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.” - Romans 6:14 One of the most liberating truths we can embrace as believers is that God has given us the power to be set free from sin.

by Ministry Support on May 7th, 2021
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5) I learned a lot about sports from my father. He was my baseball coach when I was younger. It afforded me an opportunity to be tutored and trained in the game by the man who was my first role model and teacher in life. My father was not just my coach in baseball; he was, and is, an avid sports fan. He... Read More
