The Safest Place In The World

Psalm 91:1-6, 9-11

July 11, 2021 • Dr. Delman Coates • Psalm 91:1–6, Psalm 91:9–11

In our world today, it’s so easy to become overwhelmed by fear. We have plenty to be afraid of and to be worried about. But thankfully, God’s Word gives us so much encouragement and reassurance that we don’t have to be fearful because God is a refuge and a shelter for us. The safest place in the world is to be in His will and under His protection. So to live with that knowledge and that security, there are three things we need to understand, and those three things are what we’re going to look at in today’s message. Let’s dive in.

It's Paid In Full

April 21, 2024 • Dr. Delman Coates • Luke 7:36–50

Every child of God needs to know and needs to hear that they are forgiven, for when you come into fellowship and communion with Jesus, and begin cultivating and nurturing your relationship with Him, the Lord’s forgiveness means that no matter what you have done, no matter how horrible your past, and regardless of your moral transcript and profile, the good news today is that “you are forgiven.” You are officially pardoned from your past, and the devil and no one else can hold you hostage to what you’ve done. From today’s text, we’re going to see Mary Magdalene show us what it looks like to walk in that assurance.

Shine Bright Like A Diamond

April 14, 2024 • Dr. Delman Coates • Matthew 5:14–16

Light is the first entity that God created. This suggests that the darkness we are in should not cause us to feel resigned to futility; it should not cause us to throw up our hands in surrender. For when things are at their darkest, God is just starting to move. When things are at their worst, God is just beginning to turn things around. We can trust that there is something on the other side of darkness, and what’s on the other side is going to be better, brighter, and bigger than what existed before. 

I'm Salty

April 7, 2024 • Dr. Delman Coates • Matthew 5:13

When Jesus called His followers “salt,” He actually bestowed upon us a badge of honor. He was giving them then and us now a sense of our identity, purpose, and function in the Kingdom. He was saying that when people ask who you are as a believer, you should be able to tell them, “I’m salty.” Being salty is not something bad, it’s something good. When we’re salty, we’re living the way Jesus commanded us to in His Word. But how do you know if you’re living a salty life? Well, that’s what we’re going to look at in this message.
