Let the Word Lead You
by Ministry Support on July 10th, 2025
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." – Psalm 119:105 Life comes with no shortage of voices trying to guide you. Culture has an opinion. Social media has a new trend. Friends have their advice. Your own thoughts bounce back and forth between confidence and confusion. In the middle of all that noise, it’s easy to lose your way. That’s why the Bible is not just helpful, it’s essen... Read More

The Highest Praise
by Ministry Support on July 7th, 2025
"Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, because of Your enemies, that You may silence the enemy and the avenger." – Psalm 8:2 In Matthew’s Gospel, right after Jesus clears the temple, something powerful happens. Children begin to lift their voices in praise. While the religious leaders are busy criticizing and demanding order, the kids in the room are the ones le... Read More

The Church Needs a Reset
by Ministry Support on July 2nd, 2025
"He said to them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you make it a den of robbers." – Matthew 21:13 When Jesus walked into the temple during the final days of His earthly ministry, what He saw shook Him to the core. What was meant to be a holy place had turned into a marketplace. Tables lined the area where worship was supposed to happen. Greed and personal gain had rep... Read More

He Knows Where to Find You
by Ministry Support on June 29th, 2025
"And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed." - Exodus 3:2 Moses wasn’t searching for a calling. He wasn’t out on a mission to find his purpose.

God Doesn’t Waste the Wilderness
by Ministry Support on June 28th, 2025
"Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God." - Exodus 3:1 Before the plagues, before Pharaoh, before the Red Sea split in two, Moses was just a man walking through the wilderness tending sheep.

Wrestling With the Call
by Ministry Support on June 27th, 2025
"But Moses said to the Lord, Oh my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue." - Exodus 4:10 Moses didn’t want the job. That’s what most people forget. We remember the miracles, the staff turning into a snake, the Red Sea splitting wide open. But before any of that happened, there was a man standing in front of a bur... Read More

God Moves First
by Ministry Support on June 25th, 2025
"Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt." - Exodus 3:10 Before Moses ever spoke a word to Pharaoh, before a single plague hit Egypt or a step was taken toward the Red Sea, God had already made the first move. He came to Moses. He lit up that bush. He initiated the conversation. He set the plan in motion. That might sound simple, but it’s... Read More

You’re Not the Wrong Person
by Ministry Support on June 24th, 2025
"But Moses said to God, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt? He said, But I will be with you." - Exodus 3:11-12 When God called Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, Moses didn’t jump up and say yes with confidence. He hesitated. He doubted. He asked, “Who am I?” That one question reveals how small and unqualified he felt. After all, Moses wasn’t... Read More

A Better Way Out

I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them." - Exodus 3:7-8 There is something powerful about seeing a team or a person go from stuck to successful.

"The Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings." - Exodus 3:7 Most people have heard the story of Moses and the burning bush. God calls Moses from the middle of the wilderness to lead the Israelites out of Egypt after 400 years of slavery. It is a powerful moment. But what is easy to mis... Read More

Faith Moves Forward
by Ministry Support on May 31st, 2025
"By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going." - Hebrews 11:8 Faith is always moving forward. It’s not just about holding on to a promise. It’s about making progress toward it, even when you don’t have all the details. That’s what set Abram apart. His faith wasn’t passive. It was active. I... Read More

by Ministry Support on May 30th, 2025
"Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, 'To your offspring I will give this land.' So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him." - Genesis 12:7 Faith isn’t just about believing God’s promises. It’s about worshiping Him while you wait for those promises to come to pass. Abram understood this. Every time he made progress on his journey, he built an altar to worship God. He did... Read More

Get Out of the Boat
by Ministry Support on May 26th, 2025

So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus." - Matthew 14:28-29 Obeying God often means stepping outside of your comfort zone.

Trusting God When It Doesn’t Make Sense
by Ministry Support on May 25th, 2025
"Abram went, as the Lord had told him." - Genesis 12:4 Trusting God isn’t always easy. Especially when He’s asking you to step into the unknown, to walk away from what’s familiar, and to move forward without all the details. That’s exactly what Abram did. He left behind everything he knew: his home, his culture, his family, and set out on a journey with no clear destination. Imagine the courage it... Read More

Whether it’s a missed opportunity, a failed attempt, or a setback you didn’t see coming, it’s never easy to fall short of something you’ve been working toward. And it’s even harder when it...

God Works Through Your Faithfulness
by Ministry Support on May 21st, 2025
"For nothing will be impossible with God." - Luke 1:37 Sometimes the hardest part of faith is simply not giving up. It’s one thing to have faith when everything is going well, but it’s something else entirely to keep moving forward when life feels like an endless uphill climb. The Israelites marched around Jericho, day after day, in the heat and in their exhaustion. They weren’t given immediate re... Read More

Moving In Faith
by Ministry Support on May 17th, 2025
"By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days." - Hebrews 11:30 Marching can seem pointless when the goal isn’t clear. People often question whether it still holds any value or if it’s just an outdated practice with no real purpose. But the truth is, marching isn’t just about the act itself. It’s about the intention behind it. It’s about doing something with... Read More

Trusting God to Make It Over

Fighting For Freedom
by Ministry Support on May 14th, 2025
"For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another." - Galatians 5:13 Freedom is a powerful thing. It’s something most of us enjoy and sometimes take for granted. But true freedom is never free. It always comes at a cost. The truth is, any freedom you enjoy today, whether it’s freedom from sin, freedom from fe... Read More

The Power of Not Letting Go
by Ministry Support on May 13th, 2025
"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." - Romans 12:12 There’s something powerful about not letting go. About holding on when everything around you seems to be falling apart. About praying and refusing to give up even when the situation looks impossible.

Praying With Expectation
by Ministry Support on May 10th, 2025
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." - Mark 11:24 Hannah’s faith is powerful because it wasn’t just words. It was belief in action. When she went to the temple and poured her heart out before God, her pain was real, and her desperation was undeniable. But when Eli, the priest, misunderstood her passion and thought she was drun... Read More

Praying Beyond Yourself
by Ministry Support on May 9th, 2025
"Then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall touch his head." - 1 Samuel 1:11When you look at the story of Hannah, you see that her prayer was different. It wasn’t just about what God could do for her. It was about what God could do through her. While she longed for a child, her prayer went beyond her own desires. She promised that if God blessed her with a son, s... Read More

Praying Beyond Your Circumstances
by Ministry Support on May 8th, 2025
"Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known." - Jeremiah 33:3 As we looked at yesterday, Hannah’s story is a powerful reminder that true faith looks beyond the pain of our current situation and holds on to God’s promises. She had every reason to give up, to let her pain silence her prayers. But instead, she used her brokenness as a reason to... Read More

But take heart, I have overcome the world." - John 16:33 Life can feel overwhelming when it feels like everything is working against you. It’s easy to feel trapped, wondering how you’re ever going to make it over the mountain of stress, anxiety, and setbacks you face. Maybe you’re struggling wi... Read More

Rebuilding Together
by Ministry Support on April 25th, 2025
"Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for the good work." - Nehemiah 2:18 There comes a time when you have to stop looking at what was lost and start rebuilding. That is exactly where God’s people found themselves after 70 years in exile. Their homes were gone, their city was in ruins, and their temple had been destroyed. But instead of staying stuck in grief, they made a dec... Read More

by Ministry Support on April 11th, 2025
"Then the Lord said to Jacob, 'Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.'" - Genesis 31:3 When you read the story of Jacob, you find that he spent years in a place that was never meant to be his final destination. He had been mistreated, manipulated, and taken advantage of by his father-in-law, Laban. But one day, God spoke to him and made it clear: his season... Read More

Let Go of Worry
by Delman Coates on March 22nd, 2025
"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7 Worrying is exhausting. It will drain your energy, steal your peace, and keep you trapped in fear over things you cannot control. But the truth is, worry does not change anything. It will not fix your finances, heal your body, bring back lost time, or guarantee a better future. Worry keeps you stuck in a cycle of stress, but... Read More

Let Go of Control
by Delman Coates on March 6th, 2025
"Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act." - Psalm 37:5 Giving up control is one of the hardest things you will ever do. You like to have a plan. You like to know what is coming next. You like to feel like you have a say in how things turn out. But control is an illusion, and the more you try to grip it, the more anxious, exhausted, and frustrated you become. The real struggle i... Read More

Peace in God’s Plan
by Delman Coates on February 15th, 2025
"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you." - Isaiah 26:3 There’s a kind of peace that can only come from following God’s will. A peace that quiets the noise, calms the chaos, and reassures your heart even when life doesn’t make sense. It’s not the fleeting relief you might feel when things go your way or the temporary satisfaction of chasing your own pla... Read More

Nothing God Can’t Fix
by Delman Coates on February 8th, 2025
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." - Psalm 147:3 Life has a way of leaving things broken. Broken promises, broken dreams, broken relationships. It all piles up and can make you feel like you’re beyond repair. Maybe you’ve experienced the pain of broken trust, the loss of a dream you once held close, or the weight of a broken heart that hasn’t fully healed. It’s easy to feel li... Read More

Waiting with Expectancy
by Delman Coates on January 14th, 2025
“For all the promises of God find their Yes in him.” - 2 Corinthians 1:20 Waiting can be difficult. In a world that thrives on instant gratification, waiting often feels like a burden. But for those who trust in God’s promises, waiting isn’t passive. It’s an active process that involves both hope and expectancy. As you align yourself to receive God’s promise, you should wait with expectancy, knowi... Read More

Release It to God
by Delman Coates on November 29th, 2024
"Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7 One of the hardest things to do in life is to release control. We often center ourselves on situations we can't manage and try to solve problems that are beyond us. But for the Christian, Peter offers a clear solution: release it to God. He tells us to “cast all your anxieties on Him” because God cares for us. The peo... Read More

Not in Control
by Delman Coates on November 27th, 2024
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you." - 1 Peter 5:6 Peter gives us a powerful key to handling anxiety: humility. He suggests that one of the reasons we struggle with anxiety is an overestimation of self, a belief that we are responsible for solving our own problems and managing the future on our own. Theologian Thomas Schreine... Read More

Let Go of What Chokes You
by Ministry Support on November 25th, 2024
"And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?" - Luke 12:25 The word "worry" comes from an ancient term that means "to choke or strangle." It's a vivid description, isn’t it? When anxiety takes control, it can feel like it’s squeezing the life out of you. So, I want to ask you today: what is choking you? What has you feeling so worried that you feel locked in, l... Read More

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits," - Psalm 103:2 As a believer or follower of Christ, you've likely heard the hymn that starts, "When upon life's billows you are tempest-tossed, when you are discouraged, thinking all is lost..."

People Are Not Perfect Either
by Delman Coates on July 6th, 2024
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."- Matthew 7:1-2 Building on the idea that life is not perfect, it’s crucial to remember that people are not perfect either. Look no further than Judas to see how true that statement is. We often think of him as a wicked and evil man. Think... Read More
