When was the last time you heard anyone in modern society look at a church and express any kind of surprise over the work the Spirit was doing? Generally, when our society gives any attention to the Church, it’s because a leader has fallen into some sort of scandal and it’s all over the media. As Pastor Terry will point out in today’s message, the early Church was getting people's attention for th...

Are you living in the grace you’ve been given in Christ? It’s much easier to hold onto grudges than to forgive. For some of us, we’ve been hurt in deeply scarring ways. It’s far from easy to forgive the people who hurt you. It’s not a magic pill, but a helpful approach is to put the grace of God at the forefront of your mind when you deal with those people. As Pastor Terry will challenge you in to...

Our God is steadfast and unchanging. He isn’t swayed by the ebb and flow of culture - they don’t wear down on Him until He changes His design and standard for His Creation. Sadly the Church has compromised on many fronts in our culture today in order to attract people or gain power. In today’s message, Pastor Terry will challenge us to stand steady in the Word of God. Don’t bend to the pressure of...

What an incredible thought. Jesus knows each of us intimately - more than we even know ourselves - and He’s been preparing a place for us since He ascended into Heaven. If you find yourself in awe of this world around you, Scripture makes it clear that the splendor of Heaven will make this world pale in comparison. As Pastor Terry will encourage us in today’s message, with that great reward in min...

The movement that began two thousand years ago with Jesus’ earthly ministry and then the foundation of the Church and infilling of the Holy Spirit is still ongoing. We’re privileged to be a part of it. The Holy Spirit still is moving and working in the hearts of men and women and the calling on our lives is no less potent than it was on that early Church. In today’s message, Pastor Terry will chal...

For far too long we’ve tried to blend into culture in order to not scare anyone away from the Church. This approach has the opposite effect. People want something different. They’re tired of wandering in this world without direction or certainty, and when the Church offers them steadfast hope in Jesus, they’ll start to notice. As Pastor Terry will challenge us in today’s message, we should look di...

Do you ever find yourself wishing that God still worked the same way He did in the early Church? Wouldn't it be incredible to experience the outpouring of the Holy Spirit like they did at Pentecost and to witness miracles and unity in our services? As Pastor Terry will explain in today’s message, God can and does still work the same way. We’ve allowed culture and human planning and programming to...

What does it look like to boast in the name of Jesus? This can be a hard question for a lot of people to answer because most people boast about themselves. If you’ve ever heard a politician speak, then you know it is always about themselves. They speak about what they can do in order to accomplish great things. In today’s message, Pastor Terry is going to remind you that the only person you should...

We are so blessed that we don’t have to follow a strict set of religious laws in order to be saved. We don’t have to sacrifice animals, be circumcised, or eat certain foods in order to maintain our right relationship with God. Jesus came to earth so that everyone can have the gift of grace to be saved through their faith in Jesus, not their works. In today’s message, Pastor Terry is going to remin...

While rest is an important element in all of our lives, far too many of us consume our time by watching TV, browsing social media, or feeding our flesh in a variety of other ways. As Pastor Terry continues our study of the book of Galatians in today’s message, he’ll challenge us to get up and get out there. Whether it’s in church ministry, local charities, or community outreach, find ways to live...

What are you sowing to in your life? Are you feeding into and nurturing the new, righteous nature that Christ’s given you, or are you feeding into the old flesh that desires to serve itself? As Pastor Terry will warn in today’s message, sowing to your flesh, even when you’re a believer, comes with devastating consequences. It doesn’t cancel out the full, complete work Christ did for you on the cro...

The Church is a beautiful thing. It was intentionally crafted to hold itself up on the foundation of Christ. He established us with love, grace, and compassion as the mortar that holds us together. Whether you’re struggling with sin, a basic human need, a medical issue, or whatever your struggle may be, we need to be there for each other. In today’s message, Pastor Terry will stress the importance...

Conceit and pride don’t have a place in the Christian’s heart. One of the first steps towards becoming a Child of God is to humbly admit that you’re weak and sinful. Even after you initially get saved, pride in your self-righteousness can easily slip back into your heart. As Pastor Terry will challenge us in today’s message, it’s vital that we maintain a humble perspective. We are nothing apart fr...

As long as you walk in this world, sin will be a problem in your life. That may be a depressing thought, but we have good reason for hope. Jesus took our place on the cross, bearing all of our sins - past, present, and future - and His work was enough for all of it. As Pastor Terry will challenge us in today’s message, this doesn’t mean we resign ourselves to breaking the law over and over again....

If you survey your life, would Pastor Terry’s words be an accurate description? For most of us, the honest answer is no. If we compare our righteousness to Hyde and our sinful nature to Jekyll, which one prevails on a daily basis? As Pastor Terry will point out in today’s message, most of us allow our sins to have a much bigger piece of our life than the good. Would you rather be characterized by...

What does that look like to live in supernatural love? If we’re free from the Law does that mean we can toss it out the window and do all the things Scripture commanded us not to? If you want to take grace to the extreme, then you could say that you could disobey every law found in the Bible and still be saved through what Christ did. But, as Pastor Terry will ask in today’s message, why would you...

Wait a second… if we’re saved by believing in Jesus Christ and trusting Him for salvation, how did the Old Testament heroes get saved? Jesus hadn’t come and died yet. As Pastor Terry continues our study of Paul’s letter to the Galatians in today’s message, he’ll challenge us to step outside of our human understanding of time. The heroes of the faith in the Old Testament had a faith that trusted th...

Do you remember when you were a kid and your family gave you a gift for your birthday? Objectively speaking, there is no reason for someone to provide you with something unless they love you. Jesus loves you enough to give you a gift of grace. Grace is the undeserved favor of God. When you are born into this world, you are born into sin. Because God loves you so much, He sent His only Son, Jesus C...

Even if you aren’t a Christian, you probably know how these words go, “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saves a wretch like me.” The grace of Jesus is a beautiful thing, and it has the power to save everyone. When Jesus died on the cross for your sins, He also died for the sins of everyone. All you need is to accept His gift of grace. In today’s message, Pastor Terry tells you that grace is...

In the book of Galatians, Apostle Paul writes to the Jews in Galatia who became Christians. Unfortunately, Paul finds out that the Christians in Galatia were convinced to revert to their Jewish ways. Not only did the Jews revert to their old ways, but they also convinced the Gentiles to follow the Mosaic law as well. Paul is outraged. He lovingly tells them that Christians are saved by faith alone...

A lot of people have a misconception about Christianity when it comes to salvation. They might think there is a catch or things you must accomplish before going to heaven when this isn’t true. There aren’t any catches to a relationship; all you have to do is let Jesus change you, and He will do the rest. In today’s message, Pastor Terry tells you there is only one way to God, not by works but by f...

The Mosaic laws are the 613 rules God gave to Moses and the Jews. If you follow these guidelines today and break one, you will be breaking all of them. Now, you must think, “Well, that’s kind of unfair.” The problem with the Mosaic laws is not with the rules themselves but how people can’t go through life without breaking a single one. So what was the point of following all of these commandments i...

Before Jesus Christ, God gave Moses the law. In the decree, you must follow all 613 of them, but if you break a single one, you break all of them. The problem with the Mosaic laws is not that they’re unfair; it’s that we are imperfect. For 1500 years, Jews followed these rules, and it all changed when Jesus Christ started His ministry. In the book of Matthew, Jesus said, “I have not come to abolis...

When Jesus Died on the cross, He was paying for the sins of humanity. Why? Jesus was the only one who could; He was sinless and blameless, yet Jesus knew that there was no other way. In today’s message, Pastor Terry reminds you to give your life to Jesus Christ. Jesus already paid for your sins, and if it’s your first time listening, Pastor Terry tells you that all you have to do is accept Him int...

Did you just hear what Pastor Terry said? He said it doesn’t matter if you were born into a Christian family; the true sons of Abraham are the ones who are saved in faith by Jesus Christ. Who are the sons of Abraham? In the book of Genesis, God promised Abraham that he would have a son and, through his seed, will come many generations. With God’s help, Abraham fathered a son named Isaac, and from...
