In today's message, Pastor Terry will remind you that Jesus wasn't exactly what you would call conventional. The religious norm of Jesus' time on Earth was one of legalism and control. If you followed all the right rules and did what you were told, you were in good standing with God... But Jesus came and flipped all of that on its head. Jesus said that we don't need to work for righteousness, we o...

Faith is more than just believing. It’s about putting what you know to be true into action. This happens all the time in your everyday life. When you sit down in a chair, you’re trusting that it will hold you. You eat food believing that it’ll fill you up. But this also applies to your spiritual life. Today, Pastor Terry encourages you to have an active faith, to step out and do what God is asking...

We all know that some poor choices we make can leave a bigger mark than others. Hypocrisy- saying one thing while doing another- is a prime example of this. Whether it’s obvious or hidden, Jesus says hypocrisy is incredibly destructive. It damages relationships, ruins reputations, and hinders the work that God wants to do. Today, Pastor Terry looks at God’s response to the hypocrisy that started t...

Let’s be honest. No one has it all together. We’re all a bit of a train wreck. We all need Jesus. In today’s message, Pastor Terry invites you to embrace the reality that you’re a work in progress. You’re not perfect and you never will be. God is working on you and He’ll keep at it until you’re with Him in eternity. But there’s hope and joy in this truth because you’ll have the privilege of seeing...

When something great happens to someone you know, you celebrate with them. You share their joy and excitement. Well, as Pastor Terry explains today, that’s exactly what happens in this passage. People saw the work that God was doing and it caused them to rejoice and give Him glory. The lame man could walk again! How amazing! But this isn’t just a story for the past. God is still at work today. You...

As believers and followers of Christ, we-have-been-forgiven! Unfortunately, many of us can go through seasons where we revisit the sins we've already been forgiven of, and end up feeling condemnation. More often than not, this leads to all sorts of problems. In today's message, Pastor Terry will encourage you to reflect on what it means for your sinful past to have been blotted out. In his study,...

Chances are you've probably heard that at some point in your life. That each and every person has a God-shaped hole in their heart, that only God can fill. The tragedy is that mankind will go to great lengths to try and fill that hole with everything but God. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on the life-giving Son of God, who bridges the gap between man and God, thus filling that hole. In...

Whether we care to admit it or not, many of us have a tendency to let our doubts and uncertainties get the better of us. Unfortunately, we can just as easily let these tendencies carry over to our faith, which can have an even bigger impact. However, as Pastor Terry will remind you in his message today, not even death could keep The Lord Jesus Christ down! In his study, you'll be reminded of the h...

Today's culture emphasizes positive self-talk. Like the little red engine...I can make it to the top of the mountain. How many of you direct your day? Pastor Terry talks today about the importance of having a prayerful conversation with God. He will tell you what needs to be done day in and day out. THAT, my friends, will be time well spent because you see how purposeful Jesus is. The disciples fr...

Just like children tell their parents that they can do something by themselves when they can't is the same as you and I telling God we can shine His love for others to see WITHOUT Him. Today Pastor Terry outlines five areas in which Jesus could work through us IF allowed. BUT FIRST, we need that change to happen WITHIN us by accepting the gift of forgiveness and life that Jesus offered when he die...

You know those discouraging thoughts that sabotage any kind of motivation to do good? Those aren't from Jesus and have no place in anyone who's accepted Him as their Savior! BECAUSE once you've accepted Jesus, His spirit lives in YOU! Now, you've got this great gift of His power to do what you thought you couldn't. Christian or not, you can't bring any kind of hope or healing to this hurting world...

Have you ever missed something that was right in front of your face? How about when you're teaching a lesson to your child, and their focus is elsewhere? Today Pastor Terry begins a journey with you through the book of Acts where Jesus is encouraging men to keep their intentions and focus on what they can learn instead of sitting around waiting to be saved from the Roman empire that they lived und...

Who's right there in the middle of all your muck besides YOU? Jesus! Doesn't matter how mucky the muck is, He REALLY IS there with you! In today's message, Pastor Terry explains that when the disciples and others didn't put their faith in Jesus, they missed out...A LOT! Remember Peter? He always lived in fear, UNTIL he saw the presence of Jesus. His life was totally changed after he experienced Go...

I'm going to name him...because it means... Any parent out there has probably had these thoughts or something similar. The importance of a name is what Pastor Terry begins to tell us today. The writer of Acts addresses all those who love God. Besides naming one person specifically, we're also reminded of the name Jesus. He sets a standard. In His words and actions. In what He teaches. AND it's end...

In today's message, Pastor Terry will encourage you to keep the Bible as a guiding light in your life. While the Bible may be a book from many years ago and a different culture, its lessons are still completely invaluable to us today. When we run into issues with strangers, friends, or spouses, the Bible is full of wisdom that we can use in our lives... We can pray and ask God to give us the insig...

In today's message, Pastor Terry will share with you about intentional prayer. Prayer is one of the ways that God has given us to communicate with Him. We can talk to Him and listen to Him just like we would a friend, and through that, there is power. Through prayer to God, we can ask for anything in His name. We can ask for healing for loved ones, we can ask for help in difficult situations, and...

God has a purpose for each and every life. No life on earth is an accident, God allowed for the circumstances of every life for a reason because He has a plan for each of His creations. As some of us begin to advance in age, questions about the beginning of life with Jesus become a more dominant thought... And in today's message, Pastor Terry will remind you that God will keep you here as long as...

In today's message, Pastor Terry will share with you about glorifying God in all that you do. Some people will live their lives in service of themselves. They'll work to make their name well known and make themselves happy with the things of the world... But happiness in life from the world is fleeting. Long-lasting joy only comes from the Lord and serving Him. When we wake up each morning and ask...

In today's message, Pastor Terry will share with you about eternity and the sacrifices made so that we might be able to enter into it.

In today's message, Pastor Terry will encourage you to always find thankfulness in every area of your life. In this fallen world, there will always be some kind of struggle, trial, or temptation in life. But no matter what kind of heartbreak or storm you're going through, thankfulness can always be found.

If God is for you, who can be against you? In today's message from Pastor Terry, he explains to you that as a disciple, you are to be in this world but not of it.

And greater is He who is in you than he w...
