The Scriptures teach us that TWO is better than ONE. But as Pastor Terry will share with us today, that doesn't mean that we're to date or get married...for the sake of BEING with another person. As believers, we can't just marry ANYONE. We must wait for the one that God has for us. We'll be reminded that we're not to date unbelievers. That's a recipe for disaster. Instead, we're to be PRAYING for...

We're humans. Our perspective is limited. Our wisdom is lacking. Our understanding is flawed. In our flesh, we cannot comprehend the things of God. And even as believers, sometimes, we only get a partial picture of what God is trying to say. Sometimes, that can be due to an issue in our own lives...an area that needs to be dealt with. But often times, it's because our Father is slowly revealing Hi...

The Scriptures teach us that God loved the world so much, that He sent His only Son, that whoever would believe in HIM would not perish, but have everlasting life. So you see, He LOVES you. He has a plan for your life! He sent His Son to this earth...with YOU in mind. He desires your heart...all of it. He desires your devotion and love. God, the Creator of the Universe, longs for a deep and intima...

We're humans. We're not mindless robots. We've been given the ability to think for ourselves. We have been given a choice. We can choose to live our lives according to our own understanding...by the lusts of the flesh...OR we can choose to submit to God and allow HIM to work in and through us. You see, there really are only TWO options. And God will not force us in either direction. We have to dec...

What is UNDER THE SUN mentality? Pastor Terry will refer to it quite a bit today. It's a perspective where you're only concerned with the things of this earth. You're only concerned with gaining knowledge, wisdom and worldly gain. But as believers, we can't do that. We're to have a heavenly perspective. We're to have our minds fixed on the things above. So instead of having the UNDER THE SUN menta...

If Jesus came back today, how would he find you? What lifestyle would he see? Well, regardless of whether He comes back today, tomorrow, or one hundred years from now...we NEED to be ready. But being ready isn't something we can do on our own. If you want to spend eternity in Heaven with God...you must be submitted to Him. You must allow His work of grace to work in your life. That's the only way...

Think of the story of Noah. Could you imagine the mocking and ridiculing that he had to endure? He spent day and night creating a massive boat. And this boat was going to house his family...during the flood. But at that time, rain wasn't even common knowledge! I'm sure he was laughed at and taunted. But you know what? Even through all the persecution, Noah pressed on. He trusted in God. He believe...

In our study today, we'll discuss perspectives. Pastor Terry will encourage us to have a HEAVENLY perspective. He'll tell us we need to have our minds set on the things above. It's so easy to get distracted with the things of this earth. However, we need to remember that this is not our home. We are only here for a time. One day, we'll pass on from this life...and as believers...we have HEAVEN to...

Do you think...that if you are dedicated enough...determined enough...and DRIVEN...that you can CHANGE yourself? Sure, you might be able to produce some external changes, but you cannot change your HEART. There's only ONE way we can be TRULY changed...and that's by the work of God's grace in our lives. You see, if it were possible to change our OWN hearts, then there would be no need for Jesus. Bu...

The Bible is clear. We are saved by grace through faith, not of works. If it were possible for us to be justified by our WORKS, then there would be no need for a Savior. In the Scriptures we learn that OUR works are as filthy rags. There's no WAY they can help us attain righteousness! You see, it's not by what WE do (or have done). It's by the finished work of JESUS that we can be saved. Salvation...

There are many signs to watch for...when you're looking to spot a false teacher. First and foremost, what they teach...will NOT line up with the truth of God's Word. Secondly, as Pastor Terry will explain today, they are out for monetary gain. They desire wealth and prosperity. They prey on those who aren't founded in the truth. They convince them to give and give. They EXPLOIT people! They mercha...

We've all heard the saying: 'Practice what you preach.' Well, that saying isn't exactly found in the Scriptures. However, the principle is still there. As believers, we should be people of our word. We're to do what we say...and say what we do. We're NOT to be hypocrites. However, as we'll learn today, most false prophets ARE hypocrites. They don't even practice the LIES that they PREACH! Many of...

False teachers are popular. They attract large crowds. Itching ears. Sometimes use the lure of potential prosperity “health and wealth” In the book of Second Timothy we read: 'For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the trut...

In today's message, we'll be reminded that FALSE TEACHING...is a present danger. Pastor Terry will reference the twenty-third chapter of the book of Jeremiah. He'll use that portion of Scripture to exhort us to NOT listen to the words of a false prophet. You see, false prophecy is destructive. But often times, people cannot TELL the difference between true and false prophets. They are cunning. The...

In the book of Second Timothy we'll read: 'All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for EVERY good work.' Pastor Terry will use this portion of Scripture today to share with us the IMPORTANCE of the Word of God. We'll be reminded that ALL Scri...

In today's message, Pastor Terry will remind us that our bodies...our earthly TENTS will not last forever. One day, they will return to the dust from which they came. Now that doesn't give us clearance to TRASH our bodies and to do whatever we'd like to them. On the contrary, we're to be good stewards of what God has given us. And that INCLUDES our earthly tents. However, some people go OVERboard....

Do you call yourself a Christian? Are you a believer in the God of the Bible? Well if you are...then Pastor Terry has an exhortation for YOU. He'll share with us today...the IMPORTANCE of spending TIME with GOD. We can't SAY we love and follow Him, if we're not interested in spending time with you. We can't say we have a relationship with Him...if it's not our desire to KNOW Him. Understand this:...

Pastor Terry will give an exhortation today. An exhortation to REMEMBER all the many blessings God has given you. You see, we often get bogged down with the trials of life. Relationship issues, failing careers, and even financial troubles can distract us. They keep us from remembering ALL that God has ALREADY done for us. And it's those things that He's already DONE...that should serve as a remind...

We are all human. We were birthed by our mothers...and we will ALL eventually die. But the question is: Are you READY? You see, death most often times, comes as a surprise. We never know when we will breathe our last. And so we must be sure that we're ready...NOW. And HOW can we be READY? Well, we MUST be born-again. And as a born-again believer...we should be in a continuously growing relationshi...

In today's message, we'll be reminded that DEATH will come to us ALL. There's no way to escape it. And we can't ignore it. So it's important to ask yourself the question: What happens AFTER death? Where will I go? Where will I spend eternity? Well if you're a believer in the God of the Bible, then you have Heaven to look forward to. You will spend FOREVER with the Creator of the Universe! However,...

Have you ever wondered WHY you go through times of trial and difficulty? I mean, isn't the Christian life SUPPOSED to be a breeze? A walk in the park? Shouldn't it be EASY? Well, that's not exactly true. While we CAN have peace and joy...while we CAN rest in knowing GOD is in control...we will STILL experience trials. But you see, there's a REASON for them. God allows us to go through things, so t...

It's been said before, but the fact still remains...GOD has a plan. And His WILL...will be done. He has a plan for your life! And as Pastor Terry will share with us today, God ALSO had a plan for JOSEPH'S life. We can look back to the prophetic dream that he had. In it, we saw that all the sheaves of his BROTHERS bowed down before HIS sheaf. And it's THAT dream that set the plan into motion. Every...

How can we die WELL? Maybe it's by attaining success in this life? By having a successful career, a good family, and a nice home? Well, the truth is that there is only ONE way to die WELL. And that's to die with the hope of Jesus in your heart. And in order for THAT to happen, you MUST be born-again. When you have a relationship with the Father...when you're serving in HIS ministry...THEN you can...

Death is inevitable. One day, we will ALL pass from this life. But most of us today refuse to address the issue. And that's because no one WANTS to think about death. No one wants to DIE. But we have to face the reality of it. There will come a time when we will breathe our last. And when that happens, we should want to die WELL. Pastor Terry will share with us that dying WELL...means that when we...

We've all heard the classic hymn, 'I Surrender All'...but what does it mean? What does complete SURRENDER look like? Well a LOT of professing believers today SAY they have surrendered ALL to Jesus, but often times, that's not the case. They might have given up their Sunday mornings to go to church, but do they take the time to examine their lives? Take a look at your goals, opinions, worldly wisdo...
