The question that many – if not all – people on earth will pose is this: why is there suffering and pain in the world? In today’s message, Pastor Terry has an answer: it is caused by Satan! However, as today’s text tells us, Satan must have permission to wreak havoc on God’s people, but when he does have that permission, watch out! Satan’s goal is to destroy people, and with them, God’s beautiful...

Are you living with confidence? Today from Pastor Terry we hear that as Christians we should be. We are protected. We have a safety net. Jesus is our rock and our salvation. We have no reason to live in fear or to live worried. We have Jesus on our side. David had many enemies around him. Instead of being worried or fearful he went to the Lord. He had confidence and knew he was protected. Let’s le...

Today with Pastor Terry we are reminded that sin will destroy us. No matter the area of disobedience in our life it will separate us from God and keep us from His best. As a Christian however, our sin has been forgiven. It is wiped clean. We have a new slate. All past, current and future sins are erased. We have been made new. Today we hear that to be a Christian we just need to believe and accept...

Today Pastor Terry teaches about three hats that we should wear as followers of Christ. He shows us through this Psalm that we are in a spiritual battle and we need to be prepared. One of the best methods of preparation is God’s word. The Bible is our training manual. It will show us and teach us what to do as we are faced with the enemy. It keeps us strong, and focused. It reminds us who we belon...

We are all given the same amount of time each day. Pastor Terry ask us to consider how are we investing this time? Are we using it to serve the Lord? Are we praising Him? Striving to bring Him glory in all we do? Many are lost today and don’t know Jesus. He needs you to be a kingdom worker. No matter your vocation, you can work to make a difference for Him. If we trust in man and his plans, it wil...

Today we hear from Pastor Terry that we should praise the Lord all the time no matter the circumstances. We learn that after being captured for 70 years the Jewish people were able to praise the Lord as they rebuilt the temple. They could have complained and gave up but instead they chose to worship and praise. Just like we were all created to worship and praise our God. In fact, scripture says on...

We are reminded today from Pastor Terry that God has a perfect plan for us. In fact, this plan has been established in the spiritual realm since before the foundations of the earth. We also know that God says He will complete this work that He has for us. Christian, take comfort in this truth. At times, life can be cruel. It can get really hard. Satan wants to bring you down. He wants discourage a...

This morning on Easter we learn a very important truth from Pastor Terry as he teaches about the two disciples that walked along the road after the crucifixion. We hear that these men were having a heated discussion about the events of the day. What they didn’t realize was this man that approached them was Jesus. They were distraught not knowing what happen to the body. They were confused trying t...

Jesus has the answers. He is the best and only solution. Have you tried Him? Today Pastor Terry reminds us that Jesus is always available, He does not cost anything and even provides you with HIS power to ensure success. We learn that as the two disciples walked along the road discussing the crucifixion Jesus approached them. Not recognizing Him, they went on to discuss the events of the day tryin...

Today Pastor Terry reminds us that Jesus has power over death. In this scripture a mother has just lost her son. As the funeral is taking place Jesus is walking by with many of h=His disciples. He sees the broken mother and has compassion on her. He then walks over, stops the funeral and brings the boy back to life. As sinners, we are also dead. However, Jesus can bring us back to life. In fact, i...

Today we hear from Pastor Terry that we need to get Jesus in order to have eternal life. Only through Jesus can we live forever. In the teaching today we hear about a boy that was dead until he collided with The Savior, Jesus Himself. Jesus touched him and he came back to life. The good news is that Jesus is really easy to “get”. You just have to admit that you are a sinner, believe that Jesus wen...

Today Pastor Terry challenges us to get direction from the Lord as we come to church. He asks us to get rid of distractions just for a little bit so that we may hear what God has for us. This is what the Jewish Pilgrims would do. Just like a servant with their master, they would intently seek direction for their life. God is always speaking. He is always working. He has a wonderful plan for your l...

The Bible is our life manual. Today Pastor Terry will remind us that if we want to be blessed then we should do what it says. In the world today too many people want to do their own thing, and then they wonder why life does not turn out so well. It’s very simple actually, if we obey God good things will happen. If we don’t then they won’t. Life is about Him and His ways not us and our ways. We see...

Today Pastor Terry reminds of the importance of unity. The message in this Psalm can’t be underestimated. As Christians we need to keep unity within the body at all costs. In this Psalm we hear that unity is like a refreshing fragrance and a precious ointment. It is even says those who keep unity will be blessed. The world is not unified. Most people are out for themselves. If we want to represent...

Today we hear from Pastor Terry that love covers a multitude of sin. We can all love one another. It’s a command from the Lord. Although we are all at different places in our walk, different levels of maturity we can still love one another. Some in the church may be brand new Christians, some may be walking with the Lord for many years but it doesn’t change the way we should love one another and h...

Today Pastor Terry teaches that this Psalm is a responsive reading. The leader or pastor would read the text and the church would repeat. This particular one is about the love of God. We get a good reminder that God loves us. No matter what we do, His love never changes. He is kind, merciful father and His love endures forever. We should thank Him for who He is. We should be forever grateful. God...

Today from Pastor Terry we learn many important things about this Psalm. We learn that it is the longest chapter in the Bible. We learn that this Psalm is written as an acrostic in the Hebrew language. We also learn that children would also learn the Hebrew alphabet by learning this Psalm. However, the most important thing we learn about this scripture is the power of the written word of God. This...

Once we become a Christian God’s goal for us is to become like Him. This is a lifelong process called sanctification. We are to be always growing in our relationship with God. He accomplishes this through our daily circumstances. Pastor Terry reminds us from this passage that the best way to learn how to respond and ultimately how to grow is by reading His word. The Bible is our life manual. It gi...

In the world today people have many different views on what they think is true, what they think is right and what they is wrong. Things change from generation to generation, culture to culture and even neighborhood to neighborhood. Today Pastor Terry will remind us that no matter what is going on around us, or where we are in the world the word of God does not change. It is a settled book for all...

The Bible and prayer is the key to success. The Bible has an answer for every possible problem and we can have peace in knowing it is true. In addition, prayer allows us to have intimacy with our loving...

Do you get excited about church or is it just another task on your list of things to do? Today we hear from Pastor Terry about how the Jewish Pilgrims would chant these Psalms in anticipation of going to the House of God. Just like our lives today their life was hard, as Christians they faced opposition. Therefore when they had the opportunity to go to church it was a joyous occasion. Church is wh...

As Pastor Terry opens up the Psalms today, we’ll hear the history of Israel from God’s perspective. God promised the land to Abraham, so He permitted no one to do wrong to the inhabitants. Psalm 105 gives God’s merciful viewpoint on the deliverance of His people from the hands of their oppressors: Unfortunately, God’s people didn’t see things from His perspective in the following account. As we ma...

As we open up to Psalm 107 with Pastor Terry, we give thanks to the Lord for His goodness and all His benefits. God’s people always have reason to count their blessing, no matter their present circumstances… because they have a home-base in JESUS. Life’s greatest search is over! He has broken the gates of bronze that once held us captive and chained us to sin and death. We can give thanks to The L...

Psalm 110 can be viewed as one of the most important Psalms in the Bible because it speaks of our Messiah as our coming conquering ruler. Pastor Terry shares some of the most fascinating characteristics about JESUS in his teaching today. JESUS Himself referred to this Psalm when dealing with the challenges from the religious leaders of His time. JESUS was prophesied here as the coming Priest and K...

Today Pastor Terry teaches about several Psalms that were recited during the week of Passover. Not only during the week but after each Passover meal and as the Pilgrims were marching into Jerusalem. It reminds us that as Christians we are to bring glory to God in all we do. That should be our primary purpose. That is why He chooses to use ordinary people, so that He may get the glory. The ways of...
