God made some spectacular promises to Abraham. When He called Abraham to leave his family and community behind, He promised to make Him the father of many nations. Knowing Sarah was barren, that must have been an incredible concept for him to take hold of. But as Pastor Terry unravels his story, Abraham takes God up on His promises and makes the greatest faith walk of his life. In the same way, we...

The call God placed on Abraham’s life required a great deal of faith. In today’s time with Pastor Terry, we’ll try to put ourselves in Abraham’s sandals. Would it be hard for us to do what God asked Abraham to do? Would we be willing to leave our family behind to be led into an unknown place? Especially if we don’t have all the information about where we’re going! We can only imagine the push back...

The pressure we experience can sometimes cause us to make bad decisions. But when this happens, it doesn’t mean that God won’t restore us to the way of His Kingdom. As Pastor Terry reminds us today, God’s grace in our lives helps us out of the bad choices we sometimes make in our lives. The Lord understands that His children are in need of His rescue from when they find themselves at the mercy of...

Despite what's being taught in many churches today, grace is not only for the saving of souls. Grace is the power to live a holy life. Grace causes us to walk in God's Word. Grace is the source of an obedient life. Grace makes us more like our Savior Jesus.

Another tactic of the false teachers today is to say that all you have to do is ask God for something and you will have it, that is...IF you have enough faith. We learn today that God has promised to supply all our needs, not our wants. There's a vast difference between the two.

Meditating on the characteristics of God should bring about one response, genuine and heartfelt worship! Just knowing that the God of the Universe loves you should cause you to lift up praise and worship because He is worthy!

Have you ever heard a preacher say, “If we don't receive your love gift within the next 30 minutes, our ministry will be forced to shut down.” GOOD, maybe that's God's will! Statements like this leave the impression that the God that we serve is in need. Don't be deceived Christian, God needs nothing from us!

How can we remain content? According to the Apostle Paul, we can experience contentment at all times. Whether in periods of prosperity or abasement, contentment can be maintained when the source of our contentment is provided by the Lord. As Pastor Terry expounds on the benefits God’s supernatural provision, we’re encouraged to consider how we might learn to depend more and more on the Lord to liv...

It’s understandable that when things are going well, we find it easier to be content. But that’s not always the case. Sometimes contentment is as elusive as the wind when related to circumstance. As Pastor Terry shares the perspective of the Apostle Paul, we’re reminded that contentment is a supernatural condition or containment of the soul. Rather than waiting for just the right cocktail of circu...

Who are the people we look up to in the faith? The Bible gives us good and bad examples to learn from as we make our daily choices. We should look to the example of Paul and many other pattern Saints as we choose to follow Christ. Pastor Terry encourages us today to be very intentional about what we allow to enter our minds. There are a lot of true, noble, lovely, just, pure and virtuous things to...

How much time do we spend sitting quietly before the Lord? In a world like ours, there are PLENTY of things to distract us from meditating on the Truth. And we probably don’t spend much time prayerfully reflecting on the kinds of things we allow into our minds on a daily basis. As Pastor Terry helps us consider whether or not what we think about is true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report,...

The best way to relieve stress is to turn to the Lord in prayer. However, we’re often tempted to go to others to intercede on our behalf. It’s not a bad thing to ask for prayer, but it should always be preceded by our personal petition with God. In today’s teaching, Pastor Terry encourages us to learn to live in such a way that we enjoy the benefits of constant communion with Christ. So when we’re...

Stress has reached almost epidemic proportions these days! Just turn on your television and you'll see at least a few prescriptions that have been created just for this issue. Isn't there a better solution for us? Isn't there another option? YES! Today Pastor Terry will share with us the keys to dealing with stress Biblically.

Have you ever heard the phrase, 'take the low road'? People use this phrase when speaking of the humble approach to a disagreement versus standing up and demanding rights. One of the ways that we can learn to take that low road is to remember all that we put Jesus through because of our sin...in that light, humility comes natural.

If you've been a part of the Body of Christ for any length of time, then you know that disagreements within are fairly common. Today Pastor Terry shares with us from the text what God's perspective is on feuds within His Body. We learn that one of the first results of fighting and bickering with the Body is division, which is NOT God's will.

Are you a citizen of heaven? Well the proof of you answer lies in the way you live. You see, citizens of heaven live differently than those who are not. And as we just heard from a moment ago, trying to obtain all that you can in this life generally points to the fact that you're heart is not on the eternal.

Believer, have you ever considered the fact that you're an alien? I know it sounds strange. But, today we'll learn that we truly are not of this world, even though we're in it. God has called us to live lives that are separate. We are to live as strangers and pilgrims in this existence knowing that eternity awaits us.

f we’re operating out of guilt, it’s because we’re hanging on to sin. The Lord has blotted the believer’s sin by nailing it to the cross of Christ. The cleansing work of God is meant to help us move forward and follow Him. Even past victories can hinder us from making progress with Christ. The work of the Christian is to repent and believe on the Lord JESUS Christ. To trust in Him and Him alone fo...

The riches we experience in Christ extend far beyond what we can even think imagine. When we place our faith in JESUS, we not only receive forgiveness of sin but are clothed in the very righteousness of Christ. As our Holy Father looks upon us, the only thing He sees is the perfection of His Son. Could there be any greater treasure? But as Pastor Terry explores the spoils of the Christian faith, w...

Most people believe that Christianity is a religion. But those who have been born-again by the power of the Holy Spirit understand the difference. As Pastor Terry reasons with us from the Scriptures, we come to understand how the devil has used religion to deceive and mislead the masses. Religious activity is often mistaken for a relationship with JESUS by those both inside and outside the church....

When we hear the term religious zealot, it's not hard to think of a modern day example, Islam. The Muslim faith is one that at it's very core has murderous intentions. And we'll learn today that Paul was an example of a religious zealot. He was SO zealous that he even oversaw the murder of those who disagreed with his perspective.

Many people have a misunderstanding of grace. They believe that grace is only for the saving of lost souls. And it certainly is! But, that's not the only function of grace. Grace is also the divine influence on the heart as seen in the life. God's grace is the dunamis power to live obedient lives that are pleasing to God.

Knowing Christ means a whole lot more than knowing about Him. The Word used in the Bible to describe this kind of knowing means we know Him by experience; like a husband knows his wife. One of the most intimate relationships in all creation pales in comparison to KNOWING Christ personally by the power of the Holy Spirit. As Pastor Terry describes the treasure of this intimacy, it should give us pa...

Is there room in your life for growth as a Christian? Or have you determined that you’ve grown up enough? The Apostle Paul expressed a continual healthy dissatisfaction in his life that left enough room for him to grow. As Pastor Terry describes the growth mentality of the Apostle Paul, we can compare our thoughts and attitudes with his. Healthy Christians are growing Christians. While the body st...

Today Pastor Terry shares with us a few ways that we can remain safe and secure as Christians. And probably the most fundamental way is for us to KNOW the Word of God. And not just memorize verses or even attend church. Pastor Terry exhorts us to be people of the Word...people who are personally moved and guided by God's Word.
