Sin separates us from God. Plain and simple. And that's why, as believers, we're not take part in sinful acts. Sure, we'll ALL fail from time to time. But do you DESIRE to walk in obedience? Is it your heart to reject temptation and NOT fall into sin? That should be the desire of ALL Christians! To walk in OBEDIENCE to the Word and NOT in sin. But how CAN we? Is it even POSSIBLE? Well, when we sub...

While it's true that only the Spirit can draw people to Himself, we CAN have an impact on people's lives. You see, we're to be a witness. In all that we say and do, we're to point people to the truth of God's Word. We're to proclaim His goodness! We're to plant SEEDS! Yes, ultimately the decision is between the individual and the Creator, but we can STILL be God's hands and feet! We can STILL be u...

In the world of religion today, man has come up with many different techniques and tactics to draw people into the doors of their church. Fancy lighting, large projection screens, upbeat worship music, alternative styles of teaching...these are just a few of the MANY ways MAN tries to grow the church. And while none of these things are BAD, in and of themselves, they're NOT the way that a HEALTHY...

In our lesson today, we'll be discussing fathers. Specifically the father-son relationship of Jacob and Joseph. Pastor Terry will take this story and use it to give an exhortation. He'll remind us that as sons and daughters, we're to respect and honor our fathers. Secondly, he'll speak directly to the FATHERS. We'll learn that as fathers...or parents in GENERAL...we need to be good examples for ou...

In today's message, we'll get to hear the story of Jacob FINALLY seeing His son Joseph...after many years of thinking he was DEAD. Could you imagine his delight!? To hold a son that he once mourned the loss of!? Well Pastor Terry will use this story to encourage us, as sons and daughters, to examine OUR relationships with our earthly fathers. Are you showing them respect? Are you honoring them? Al...

If we're not careful, we can easily get into a slump. And that generally happens when we allow ourselves to listen to the voice of the enemy. You see, if we listen long enough, we'll start to believe what he has to say. Instead, read God's Word. Listen for HIS voice. Don't believe the lies of Satan! Don't allow him to discourage you in your walk! Believer, don't dwell on the things you don't have...

Are you a positive and optimistic person? Do you tend to look at the bright side of things? Well in today's message, Pastor Terry will warn us against pessimism. You see, as believers in the God of the Bible, we're to have JOY...we're to have HOPE! Yes, there will be times when we're weighed down with the reality of the state of this world, but deep down we KNOW that OUR King is in CONTROL! HE is...

In the book of Ephesians we read: 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are HIS workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for GOOD WORKS, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.' So you see...salvation is made available by the shed blood of Jesus. And that salvation COMES by gra...

The grace of God is a beautiful and amazing gift. First and foremost, it's BECAUSE of God's grace that we're saved. There's nothing WE can do, in and of ourselves, to EARN salvation. It is a free gift from the Father. Secondly, it's God's grace working in and through us... that CAUSES us to walk in His ways! What a wonderful blessing! Our Heavenly Father offers us salvation by grace through faith....

What is your attitude towards the weak of this world? Pastor Terry exhorts those of you that might be listening who are still in school. Bullying is a real problem.

Stop and think about when you were born-again? What was the first step that you took in that process? Well, step one was recognizing your need for a Savior...this requires admitting that you've missed the mark … that you've sinned. So, once you admitted that you were a sinner...you were faced with a choice...face a Holy God or confess and repent? Confession and repentance are the first steps in an...

Have you ever heard someone say: 'I'm too far gone to be saved.' Well sadly, there are many people that feel that way. But what we must realize, is that that is a LIE from the pit of hell! You see, as long as there is a desire in your heart to repent and turn away from sin, there's hope! Salvation is offered to ANYONE who will believe. So don't believe the lies of the enemy! You're NEVER too far g...

In the book of Isaiah we read: 'Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous hand.'

Our Heavenly Father is mighty, just, righteous, omni-present and ALL powerful. He is our Creator. He is our Master. And as His children, it should be our desire to be submitted to Him and His Word. It should be our goal to walk according to the plan He has for us. Because of our love for HIM...we should WANT to obey His Word. You see, our obedience will never earn our salvation. But as those that...

Believer, is it your desire to press on in your walk with the Father? Do you desire growth and maturity? OR...are you content with where you're at? You see, as Christians, we should NEVER settle down into a cozy spot in our walk with God. We NEED to press on. He wants to mold us into useful vessels, but that will never happen, unless we're pliable and WILLING. In today's message, Pastor Terry will...

As children of God, we understand that He is loving and kind. Gentle and understanding. He's full of grace and mercy. He's our Abba...our Papa...our friend. But we must not forget that He is also mighty, powerful, just, and righteous. And as we'll learn today, we need to remember this when approaching Him. We should do so with honor and respect. Yes, we can come to Him with our needs, but we need...

In today's message, Pastor Terry will give a strong exhortation. He will stress the importance of GROWING UP. Just think of this: What if we ALL stayed at the same maturity level that we were at when we were infants. Could you imagine what this world would be like? We couldn't function! Well the same is true in our walk with the Father. We need to GROW UP. We shouldn't be content with where we're...

We often look at the story of Joseph through HIS eyes. We see how he suffered betrayal, rejection, and imprisonment. Then we see him being promoted to power...all by the mighty hand of God. But in today's message, we'll get to see a glimpse of what the BROTHERS of Joseph were experiencing. You see, for YEARS they have been living with the guilt of what they did to their brother...and of how they h...

Could you imagine facing someone who has done you wrong...who has betrayed you and left you for dead? Well that's what happened to Joseph. Years after his brothers threw him in a pit, they cross paths again. Only THIS time, Joseph has the upper hand. But does he take revenge? Does he kill them? Does he throw them out of his presence? NO! As we'll see today, Joseph eventually welcomed his brothers...

In our lesson today, Pastor Terry will take the time to encourage those of you listening who are single...who feel as if you'll never find a godly spouse. He'll remind you to be patient and wait on God's timing. You have to understand that HE knows you BETTER than you know yourself. He knows when you're ready. HIS timing is perfect. You see, when you DON'T trust in His timing, when you take things...

When you're in, what appears to be, a bad situation...what do you do? Do you have a bad attitude? Do you grumble, mope, and complain? OR...do you seek the Father? Do you look for areas where you can serve...where you can proclaim the truth? Sadly, most of us would probably complain. But as we'll learn in today's message, no matter WHAT our circumstances look like, there's ALWAYS a way in which we...

We'll be reminded today that God WANTS to use us. He wants to mold us and make us into useful vessels for HIS plan...for His glory. And when we ALLOW Him to use us...when we heed His voice and follow His Word...then we'll receive blessings! We can see this to be true in the life of Joseph. It's clear that God had His hand upon Joseph. Just look at how he was rejected by his brothers, sent to priso...
