We all have to get over that picture we have of God up in heaven marking down our good deeds and bad deeds, don’t we? When we mess up we think we have to be on our best behavior and do some acts of kindness to make up for it, but that’s not how it works. Nothing we do could ever measure up to God’s standard. In his message today, Pastor Terry will remind you that God isn’t keeping score. Jesus met...

Sometimes it seems we hope for just a taste of God’s goodness, don’t we? We hope He will provide a little bit of His presence to sustain us, so we can just get by.

You have already been forgiven and absolved of the things you did before you came to faith in Christ. He sees you as a child who He bought and paid for with His blood. You don’t have to fear judgment or rejection from God; He already gave up His own Son to restore a relationship with you. Today, Pastor Ter...

Why is it that the hardest people to reach are always those closest to you?

We’ve all heard the saying that it’s more blessed to give than to receive. And our culture values people who give of their time and resources to be generous to others. You may know people in your own life who have made sacrifices in order to help you. But as Pastor Terry reminds us today, nobody has ever given the gift that God the Father gave. So, keep your heart and mind centered on this truth:...

Our culture has its definitions of who is living the “great life”. To some, it’s the wealthiest people, and to others, it’s the most famous. There are plenty of advertisers who will tell you how their product will make you truly happy and satisfied. But, as Pastor Terry reminds us today, success on earth will never bring the abundant life that God created us to live. When you are living your life...

How many people seek God – when they are in a time of physical need? It may be a sickness or a financial setback. Possibly a problem in the family, or at the workplace. At those times, many people think of calling upon God for help. As Pastor Terry shares today, the same thing happened during Jesus’s earthly ministry. People often came for their physical needs, not their spiritual needs. Of course...

There are a lot of times in our lives when we don’t know what to do. Especially when it comes to serving God, it can often seem that we just don’t have the resources, or the skill, to pull it off. But as Pastor Terry reminds us today, even when we don’t know what to do, Jesus already knows. So, when you come to those times when you feel clueless, look more closely to Jesus. He has put you in those...

It’s great to have 20/20 eyesight in the natural world. But what about spiritual eyesight to see into the miraculous? Today, Pastor Terry encourages you to consider the ways in which God is calling you to more. More of Him, more sight, more Scripture buried deep in your heart. God doesn’t want you to just see what’s going on within this earthly realm. He also wants you to see and take note of what...

Do you really know God – the God revealed in Scripture? There are many who claim to know Him but have fashioned a god to their own liking – a god who embraces their sin and selfishness instead of trying to restore them to their original, perfect design. As Pastor Terry will warn in today’s message, this is why we must rely on the Bible and get to know what it says about God; It’s essential for rec...

God thought up and created this world we live in just by uttering the words. We’re living in His universe. Everything that is, exists because of Him. Yet, as humans, we’ve been deceived into thinking that our reason and our desires are more important than God’s. As Pastor Terry continues our study of the book of John, we’ll be reminded of God’s sovereignty and our need to submit to it. Not in an e...

When you allow complacency to take hold in your Christian journey, it’s easy to only do the bare minimum… Go to church most Sunday mornings and avoid certain activities that disagree with your convictions – at least most of the time. As Pastor Terry will challenge us in today’s message, following Jesus can be so much more than that. It can be a life of purpose as you take His message of hope and p...

We tend to think that God will love us if we can just be good enough. This way of thinking is at the core of religion; The idea that if you follow all the rules and do good enough works, you can earn the favor and acceptance of God. But, as Pastor Terry will point out in today’s message, Jesus turned that idea on its head. He died on the cross for us while we were still sinners. He loved us before...

When He came into this world, Jesus died on the cross for your sins, becoming the s...

When we are finished dealing with a difficult circumstance, our minds prefer to deflect our attention away from the reality that it was a difficult journey, and instead focus on the positive moments and short-term joys that we experienced.
