Give to God Confidently
by Delman Coates on October 30th, 2024
“They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning.” - Exodus 36:3 When the Israelites gave to God, they didn’t question where their offerings were going or debate how the resources were being used. They gave confidently, not only out of love and respect for God, but also because they trusted the integrity of the leadership. The leaders managed the resources so well that when the sk... Read More

by Delman Coates on October 27th, 2024
“So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, ‘No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.’ So the people were restrained from bringing, for what they had already brought was more than enough to do all the work.” - Exodus 36:6-7 Have you ever felt like there’s never enough?

Normalizing the Conversation
by Delman Coates on October 6th, 2024
"For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control." - 2 Timothy 1:7 Sex is not dirty or demonic. It’s a gift from God, designed to be part of the beautiful, sacred, and holy experience of being human. Yet, the discomfort many of us feel around this topic has led to a culture where sex is often discussed only in hushed tones or hidden in less-than-ideal places. It’s ti... Read More

A Unique Love
by Delman Coates on February 26th, 2024
"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." - John 10:11 In the realm of shepherds, Jesus stands as the epitome of love and sacrifice. Today, we explore the profound dimension that makes Jesus the "good" shepherd—a shepherd who not only tends to the needs of the sheep but willingly lays down His life for their salvation.

Worry: A Mirror of Trust
by Delman Coates on August 18th, 2023
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” - Proverbs 3:5 Worry is a common human experience, yet it serves as a revealing mirror, reflecting the areas in our lives where we trust God the least. When we worry, we are essentially saying that there’s an aspect of our life that we don’t fully entrust to God. Worry implies a lack of trust in God’s sovereignty and... Read More

All That I Need
by Ministry Support on September 19th, 2022
“The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.” - Psalm 23:1 We discussed yesterday how Jesus is the Good Shepherd. That is what He wanted the people in John 10 to know. He also wants you and me to recognize this now, which is why this passage is recorded in Scripture. The first thing He wants us to know about Himself is that He will take care of our provisions. We all know Psalm 23:1, “the ... Read More

Thick and Thin
by Ministry Support on September 17th, 2022
“You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.” - Matthew 7:9-11 I had a conversation not too long ago with a good friend of mine. This frie... Read More

Focus On God’s Way
by Ministry Support on April 15th, 2022
