Against such things there is no law." - Galatians 5:22-23 To truly understand what it means to walk in the Spirit, we need to first define some key terms. When we talk about the "flesh," we're referring to the parts of our personality that have been wounded by negative li... Read More

by Delman Coates on August 28th, 2023
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” - Proverbs 3:5-6 One of the most profound truths we can embrace is that we will never regret trusting God and being obedient to Him.

His Time
by Delman Coates on January 25th, 2023
“But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.” - 2 Peter 3:8 We have discussed two reasons why we worry: that God’s will is not our will and that God’s ways are not our ways. However, a third reason we worry is because we believe that God’s timing is not our timing. We live in a microwave generation. We want fo... Read More

Shift To Your Back Foot
by Ministry Support on December 22nd, 2021
“Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.” - Proverbs 14:29 When it comes to trusting God, we must learn to be patient. This is often why God will not give us what we want when we want it. God’s primary concern is growing and molding us to be more like Jesus. This doesn’t mean that God does not want to give us the desires of our heart, because He d... Read More

God’s Promises Are Sure
by Ministry Support on September 25th, 2021
“For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding ‘Yes!’ And through Christ, our ‘Amen’ ascends to God for his glory.” - 2 Corinthians 1:20The Bible says that God is not a man that should lie. If He spoke it, He will bring it to pass. One reason so many people give up on God in the waiting process is because they do not live as if God is certainly going to do what He said ... Read More
