What Happened to Them?
by Delman Coates on April 15th, 2023

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” - Colossians 3:13-14 Yesterday, I asked you this question: What happened to you?

Clarity
by Ministry Support on November 29th, 2022
“And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.’” - Isaiah 30:21 Over the last few days, we have talked about the importance of having “specialists” in our lives. Basically, this is just the idea of having people in our lives that can help us when we lack clarity on God’s will and purpose for our lives. ... Read More

“As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.” - Proverbs 27:17 As we walk through life pursuing God, there are different people along the way we will need to have by our side. I want to specifically address three different roles we will need in our lives as we live by faith. We have looked at the first two over the last couple of days.

by Ministry Support on September 3rd, 2022
“And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from His glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 4:19 Clarity. Over the last two days, we have been discussing clarity. Oftentimes, to move on and write the next chapter of our lives, we need clarity over a situation that happened in our past. We want to wrap a nice little bow around the past ... Read More

Write Another Chapter!
by Ministry Support on August 4th, 2022
“It is God alone who judges; He decides who will rise and who will fall. For the Lord holds a cup in His hand that is full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours out the wine in judgment, and all the wicked must drink it, draining it to the dregs.” - Psalm 75:7-8 What does the Bible say when it comes to the times in our lives when closure isn’t an option?

by Ministry Support on June 16th, 2022
“But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.” - 1 Corinthians 9:27Over the last week, we have discussed the importance of fasting.

Interceding For Others
by Ministry Support on January 27th, 2021
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. (James 5:16) God calls each and every one of us to stand in the gap whenever, wherever, and however there is a need in the world, in the community, or in our families. Where there is injustice in the world, we are to oppose it. Where ther... Read More

Don’t Hide Your Doubt
by Ministry Support on January 21st, 2021
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” (John 14:5-7) One of the most maligned characters in Christian history is the disciple identified i... Read More

No Shame In Asking For Help
by Ministry Support on January 12th, 2021
Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked. “Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.” (Matthew 20:32-33) For some reason, asking for help has been labeled as a sign of weakness in today’s culture. This upsets me because if you never ask for help, how will things get any better? You’re never going to experience the peace, the relief, the freedom, or the healing ... Read More

by Ministry Support on October 11th, 2020
But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand. – Isaiah 64:8 As a recent collector of art, I have come across the work of an artist by the name of Purvis Young.

You Can Tell Jesus
by Ministry Support on September 16th, 2020
The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her request be granted and had John beheaded in prison. His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother. John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus. (Matthew 14:9-12) The story of John the Baptist’s death is one many of us have... Read More
