In the Bible, Apostle Paul says, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” When you give your life to Jesus Christ, you no longer have to live with the sin in your life nor the guilt that comes with it. In today’s message, Pastor Terry needs you to know that no matter what you’ve done, God will always accept you into His family. The only thing you hav...

There comes a point in our lives where we realize we can’t do this alone. If you’re listening to this message today, Pastor Terry wants you to know that God doesn’t want you to go through life alone. You can make your way in this world and struggle, and what will it all be for if you don’t have to give your life to Jesus Christ? In today’s message, Pastor Terry tells you of the harsh reality that...

If this is your first time listening to Pastor Terry, he wants you to know that when you come to Jesus seeking a relationship, you are justified in His eyes. What is justification in the eyes of the Lord? In today’s message, Pastor Terry tells you that when you give your life to Jesus, He takes your life from a state of sin to a state of grace. When you are born into this world, you are born with...

We live in a world where people think there are many ways to go to heaven. “If I’m a good enough person, I’ll be saved.” “I believe in a higher being, but I’m unsure if it’s the Christian God.” Sound familiar? If you’re listening to today’s message, Pastor Terry wants you to know that these reasons ARE not good enough. The only way you can have eternal salvation is to accept the grace of Jesus. Je...

The grace of God is a simple concept, but the depths of it are impossible for our minds to comprehend in this life. If you ever find yourself thinking you’ve wrapped your mind around who God is and how He works in the hearts of mankind, it’s time for a dose of humility. As Pastor Terry continues our study of Paul’s letter to the Church in Galatia, we’ll be challenged to continue diving into the wo...

For those who grew up in the Church, or have been in it long enough, religion is a common problem. While we may have experienced the grace of God and accepted His gift of salvation, we can easily shift to a Law-based mindset and start judging our spiritual status, as well as others, on our performance. This leads to misplaced judgment and doubts over whether we’re actually saved or not. Today, Pas...

Man has a sinful tendency to put himself in the place of God. We see this clearly in nearly every world religion. They may have a godhead or figure they assign godlike status, but ultimately those beings were devised by the minds of men, and our relationship to them is almost entirely based on how we perform. As Pastor Terry will point out in today’s message, this is a beautiful, unique trait of C...

False teachings are often incredibly subtle and hard to detect. Most of us would quickly recognize any doctrines or philosophies that directly oppose the well-known teachings of Christ, but if the enemy can slowly tweak established truths, it can quickly spread throughout the Church with little resistance. As Pastor Terry will warn in today’s message, this happened in the early Church and it’s hap...

As we celebrate the New Year and look back at the last one, you may be tempted to dwell on your shortcomings. We all made mistakes this last year - some big and some small. Maybe you’re living with the consequences of those choices and you expect this coming year to be more of the same. As Pastor Terry will encourage us in today’s message our God is in the business of renewal and restoration. What...

This world is a breathtakingly beautiful example of God’s creativity and power. From the tops of the highest mountain peaks to the depths of the ocean, all of it is His work. But it’s also affected by sin and subject to death and decay. As Pastor Terry will point out in today’s message, as wonderful as this planet is, it’s bland and forgettable in comparison to what’s to come. The new heavens and...

We have a tendency to attempt big changes when we start a new year. It’s as good a time as any to undertake ambitious goals, but when you reach for the sun, you’re likely to get burned, as the saying goes. On the flip side of that, when we miss the mark, sometimes we just give up altogether. As Pastor Terry delivers today’s message, he’ll challenge us to keep pressing on. Don’t give up when you fa...

As Christians, we know of Jesus’ sacrifice for us, because that’s why we became Christians in the first place. But sometimes, over time that can get put into the background, and we can get overwhelmed with just being a good Christ-like person in our families, churches, and at our work. In today’s message, Pastor Terry will remind you of what Jesus did on the cross for your regrets and hurt, for yo...

Many of us came to Christ by the way of another person sharing the Gospel with us. Whether a grandparent, friend, neighbor, or whoever it was, took a step of faith and shared their faith. In today’s message, Pastor Terry will remind you that you can’t just have a little faith or only believe in part of the Bible, you have to be fully Christian! You must be born again, completely changed by the hop...

Before we give our lives over to Christ, our lives are completely controlled by sin. We live in a constant darkness that overwhelms our daily habits and activities…our sin rules our lives. In today’s message, Pastor Terry will share with you the hope that is Jesus Christ! Though the power and freedom from that miserable and unhappy life, comes with a cost, and that cost was paid by the blood of Je...

We all have the same 24 hours in a day, and we all have different ways of using those hours. For some of us, those hours can be used for productive activities, such as exercise or sports, and sometimes they’re best used for rest. Either way, they get lived and they don’t stop for anyone. Pastor Terry will encourage you to use your time and energy wisely in today’s message! Live life as if Jesus is...

What a glorious, life-giving truth! Have you ever wondered why Jesus came as a man? Men had the books of the law and the books of the prophets that offered us a glimpse of who God is. But more than anything, they revealed how wicked we are. Our sin blinded us and made it impossible for us to see the God of mercy and grace behind the Bible. As Pastor Terry will explain in today’s message, Jesus was...

There’s a lot that we pack into this time of year… decorating trees, buying, wrapping, giving and receiving presents, eating, drinking and generally making merry with our friends and families. It’s a wonderful time… but as Pastor Terry will remind us in today’s message, as special as these traditions are, they don’t really matter in the scope of eternity. The true miracle of this season is Jesus....

If you’ve given your life to Christ, you’ve experienced the fullness of the time for Jesus to arrive in your life. What was it that changed your mind about Him? What opened your eyes to your need for Him? Maybe you were in the midst of a crisis or trial that felt hopeless. Maybe you were hurting and pushing back against a religious establishment that felt hypocritical and condemning. But as Pastor...

God’s timing is perfect. If you’ve ever waited on His response to a prayer for healing or fulfillment of a deep need or longing, you may have a hard time trusting in that truth. But, as Pastor Terry will illustrate in today’s message, Jesus’ arrival as an infant was timed perfectly. The world was ripe for His arrival. Many people failed to recognize the answer to their deepest longing even when He...

On your own, you’re a broken vessel. You were designed to hold something great, but you’re cracked and you can’t do the thing you were made for. This was as true of the Apostles as it is of you and me. We’re incompetent and weak and we’ll fail every time if we depend on our own strength. But, as Pastor Terry will point out in today’s message, just like the Apostles, we have access to the Holy Spir...

Have you ever wished you could go back and live during Jesus' ministry? Experiencing Him personally, hearing His voice, and witnessing His miracles firsthand certainly would have been incredible. But, as Pastor Terry leads us through a study of today’s passage in John, we’ll be reminded that Jesus promised we would receive something better than Himself. When you get saved, you receive His Holy Spi...

Why do we go to Church? We have Bibles at home, we can easily watch great preachers online and even establish something of a community through social media. Those tools and resources aren’t bad, and they can certainly supplement your Christian journey, but as Pastor Terry will explain in today’s message, you’ll be missing out on something deeper in your journey with Christ. We meet together to bui...

Through COVID the Church as a whole experienced a dramatic decline in attendance. Sadly, even three years and counting down the road, with lockdowns lifted long ago, many people have never returned. Even if those people were only attending out of habit, missing out on the spiritual formation that the Church should provide, as Pastor Terry will remind us in today’s message, gathering together for w...

The Church can’t separate its spiritual mission from the practical service our Savior demonstrated. If the only thing that mattered was our salvation from sin, Jesus could have come and died in our place and the job would have been done. But He lived here. He experienced what we experience and He resisted temptation. He dedicated His earthly ministry to teaching, healing, and serving those He came...

That’s a crucial mindset for living a vibrant Christian life. Most of us are susceptible to a Pharisee-type mindset. When you first get saved, and the grace of Jesus is fresh and new, it’s easy to look at the world around you with His love and compassion. But as you grow and learn to practice the rules of being a Christian, it’s easy to lose sight of that grace. In today’s message, Pastor Terry wi...
