Being a peacemaker in the majority of situations should be extremely important to us as Christians! Making an impact on our society today and those to come is vital! Being a peacemaker creates an image of Jesus here on earth to all those around us! In today’s message, Pastor Terry will encourage you to pursue actions that make or keep peace! Jesus modeled peace on earth for us perfectly and since...

Does your life look religious? Do you go to church on Sundays, and look like you have it all together? What’s happening on the inside? Sometimes we can focus all on outer appearances, but neglect what’s happening inside. In today’s message, Pastor Terry will teach about being pure in heart. Jesus called the Pharisees in His time whitewashed tombs because they looked great on the outside, but the i...

Have you ever been really hungry? The majority of us in America haven’t known hunger in the way that many people in Jesus's day did. Some had gone without many meals and knew what it meant to desperately need food. In his message today, Pastor Terry will teach how that is the kind of hunger and thirst that Jesus is talking about in this passage. You should be desperately hungering for righteousnes...

Are you depending on Jesus completely? It’s easy from time to time to think we’ve got this life thing figured out. Jesus saved me, and I can take it from here, but it doesn’t work like that. In today’s message, Pastor Terry will remind you to remain humbly dependent on God. Pride comes before the fall, so don’t let yourself think you have it all together. You should be living each day with the kno...

Are you poor in Spirit? Have you acknowledged your complete need for Jesus? We have all fallen short of the glory of God, and we must acknowledge that we can’t make it without Him. In his message today, Pastor Terry will challenge you to come face to face with the fact that you are spiritually destitute. The word Jesus uses for poor in this passage is not the kind of person scraping to make ends m...

In today’s message, Pastor Terry finishes up his study on the book of Acts! By looking at the life of the apostle Paul, we see a man who is introduced as a persecutor of the church, and yet has a miraculous encounter with Jesus and becomes one of the most influential church fathers. That story should be an encouragement to you, that no matter where you started from, God has a plan for your life an...

When God intervenes in your life, don’t assume it’s only for your sake. Over the last few messages from Pastor Terry, we’ve seen how God supernaturally protects Paul, and how that protection grabs the attention of those around him. In this case, God’s purpose is twofold: protect His servant who is going to minister in Rome, and grab the attention of people in the meantime who may otherwise have ne...

When was the last time you consciously offered your help to a brother or sister in their time of need? God is expecting you to be a beacon of hope and a helpful friend to those around you. The Bible is filled with people like this, but few exemplify it better than Paul does in Acts 27. Pastor Terry shows you today how not only did Paul calm the fears of terrified sailors, but he also gave them wis...

Do you feel lost at sea, about to sink at any moment? Well, look to the Lord, and be comforted that He will make a way for you through the storm! And then you will be able to see how God uses your trials to bring others to Him. In today’s message, Pastor Terry teaches about Paul’s journey across the sea was so dangerous, and yet Paul had faith that God would provide safe passage. Even better, Paul...

What do you do when someone rejects the gospel outward after you share it with them? Today, Pastor Terry shares about a king who rejected the gospel and Paul's response of praying that He receives Christ. That’s just it, prayer. Sometimes God doesn’t respond the way we want Him to, but His way is always better. God wants a relationship with everyone, so why wouldn’t He listen to your prayer to sav...

Can we all agree that people suck and need something to save them? Today, Pastor Terry says that when we put our faith in Christ, our unrighteousness becomes righteous. But there’s the other half of that, which is recognizing that we’re bad and there’s no way to a perfect God without Jesus. Because of Jesus, you’re saved and there’s no more condemnation if you have faith that He’s your savior. Chr...

What should we do when we’re feeling down and alone? Today, Pastor Terry says we must remember the two bedrock truths of Christ to be strong and courageous for God is always with us. Notice it doesn’t say God is sometimes with us but always with us. When you are courageous in Christ there’s a unique strength that comes. God gives you the power to overcome everything when you depend on Him. He’s th...

Have you ever felt alone or lost in this world? Today, Pastor Terry says that just like Paul, there will be times when we feel alone. Sometimes it can be from those who are closest to us like those in the church. When you’re in those spaces, you must turn to Jesus. He alone brings comfort and peace when we are alone. He’s your friend and He wants to be there with you in the highs and the lows. God...

Sometimes when we follow Jesus, the things of this world can tempt us and it’s hard to continue following Him. In today’s message, Pastor Terry says that when we follow Christ it’s not a guarantee to be pretty and perfect all the time but that there are going to be trials. Paul had trials in Acts and yet He was still strong in Christ. When the things around you start to crumble, run back to God. H...

In Acts, Paul believes firmly who he is in Christ. In today’s message, Pastor Terry says that we need to be like Paul and have firm convictions. When you have firm convictions, it means the things that Christ says are wrong, you run from. You believe in the truth of the gospel and nothing else. When our faith is in Christ alone, He’ll give you confidence to do what He says. Scripture is inerrant,...

The church is the one thing that the enemy doesn’t like. Today, Pastor Terry says that we must be vigilant as believers because if we become high-value Christians, the enemy will attack harder. You must be alert! The enemy’s on the prowl and wants to take the church down from the inside out. Be firm in what you believe! When you’re vigilant, Christ becomes the one to depend on. He’ll take all your...

What does it mean to be a high-value Christian? Today, Pastor Terry says that it’s important that we’re all high-value Christians like Paul, not any other Christian. A high-value Christian takes the word of God seriously and applies it to their lives. Are you taking your faith seriously? Sometimes there are things that we take for granted. The gospel is for everyone. When you become someone who li...

So… maybe you’ve found yourself in a spiritual slumber. You listen to a message, but your mind is checked out. It can happen to anyone. You probably didn’t mean to, but what can you do to fix it? Well, Pastor Terry will talk about that today. He will give practical steps on how to wake up. It may mean getting your hands dirty by serving those around you, or it may mean engaging in meaningful relat...

Is that you today? Have you made it a habit to attend church, and listen to teachings, without any real connection to the Lord? Is it simply a family tradition? You are not alone. Plenty of people in pews every Sunday do the same thing, but there’s so much more for you. The God of the universe wants to have a relationship with you. In today’s message from Pastor Terry, you’ll learn why being spiri...

It’s so easy nowadays to fall into the ways of the world, especially with how accessible it is. Why not watch that new action movie? Why not listen to that new song? Just one more video on social media. I mean, look at the city of Ephesus in the Book of Acts, to see just how dangerous it can be. Today, Pastor Terry draws plenty of parallels between the society of our time, and the society of Paul’...

How often do you see arguments about anything religious in the comment section? I mean… never, right? And the Christians never act ugly… right? That would be nice if it were true. It’s okay to have disagreements, but as Pastor Terry mentions, sometimes people go overboard. In today’s message, you’ll learn that the way to convince someone that the Lord’s way is best isn’t by bashing them over the h...

Even without the tools of social media, the message of Jesus was spreading like wildfire in the days of Paul! In today’s message, Pastor Terry will teach through this powerful experience, and highlight how the message of the Gospel is attractive and transforming for all. Can you imagine our nation if we passionately proclaimed Jesus? There is no message that brings more hope or more life. How can...

Are you avoiding the evil and sinful communities in your life? Or are you following Paul’s example, and boldly taking the Gospel to them, bringing light to a dark world? In today’s teaching, Pastor Terry will challenge listeners to “storm the gates of hell” by taking the Gospel to all nations! You never know how your faithful witness of the Gospel might transform an entire city. Look at the minist...

The Lord wants to empower you DAILY by His Spirit! Every Christ-follower has different giftings and operates in different environments, but God desires to use everyone who believes in Him. Today, Pastor Terry will encourage listeners to be used by the Lord in their various spheres of influence! Once you have made the decision to follow Jesus, it does not stop there! He wants to do mighty things th...

How did John the Baptist pave the way for Jesus, and what significance did his example set for the people that Paul was preaching to? In today’s message, Pastor Terry will provide context to Paul’s ministry in Acts 18, specifically noting the work of John the Baptist. All of Scripture is woven together, and specifically, as Paul teaches of Jesus, he referenced those whom the religious leaders coul...
