Most people assume they’re automatically fine with God. But think about it like this: if you’re born into massive debt, it doesn’t matter whether you feel broke or not; the debt is still there. Today, Pastor Terry reminds you that the Bible says you were born spiritually in debt. Not neutral. Not starting at zero. Now you might think, “I’m not against God. I don’t hate God. I don’t have a problem...

There’s a kind of peace that doesn’t change with your circumstances; it changes you in the middle of them. When everything feels unstable, it holds you steady. When life gets loud, it quiets your heart. That peace isn’t natural. It’s supernatural. And it’s found in Jesus. In Today’s message, Pastor Terry reminds us that if we belong to Christ, we don’t have to face the hard times alone. We don’t h...

Think about the player who shows up early, runs the drills, and studies the playbook. That player gets closer access to and attention from the coach. There’s trust. There’s communication. It’s the same with Jesus. In Today’s message, Pastor Terry shares that when we obey Him out of real love, we begin to see Him move in our lives. We notice His guidance. Christianity isn’t just about getting to he...

We all like to think we’re in charge. We manage our calendars, our careers, our relationships. We call the shots. And if we’re honest, even as Christians, we sometimes treat Jesus like a consultant. Today, Pastor Terry reminds us that following Christ isn’t just about believing in Him; it’s about deliberately arranging our lives under His authority. Not partially. Not when it’s convenient. Complet...

If you’re a parent, you know that moment when your kid is learning to ride a bike, and they’re nervous, unsure, a little shaky? You’re not watching from afar. You’re right there, matching their speed, ready to catch them if they tip. They don’t always see your hand, but they feel your presence. Today, Pastor Terry shares this is the picture Jesus gives us of the Holy Spirit. Not distant. But Close...

If your heart’s been heavy lately and you belong to Jesus, don’t lose sight of what’s coming. Right now, we know Him in small but real ways, we feel His peace, we sense His presence, we experience His joy. Today, Pastor Terry reminds us that there’s a day ahead when it won’t be partial anymore. We won’t just believe, we will see Him. We won’t just talk to Him in prayer; we’ll hear His voice. Jesus...

The way to have an untroubled heart as a Christian isn’t by escaping hard times or figuring everything out. It’s by learning where to fix your focus. It’s like gripping a handrail in the dark, when you can’t see the steps, you don’t let go, you tighten your grip and keep walking. In Today’s message, Pastor Terry shares that Jesus calls us to that kind of trust. Not a momentary belief, but a steady...

God doesn’t do His best work with people who look polished and put-together. Think about a muscle that’s never been strained; it hasn’t grown. Or a field that’s never been turned over, the seed will sit on the surface and die. Today, Pastor Terry explains that God doesn’t choose people who are strong in themselves; He chooses people who’ve learned they’re not. That’s why a broken Peter, humbled, u...

Most of us measure love by the best we’ve known it to be. A strong marriage. A devoted parent. A loyal friend who sticks around when life gets messy. But even the strongest human love has limits. It gets tired. It gets strained. Today, Pastor Terry invites us to consider a love that doesn’t. A love that doesn’t compete with human affection but stands above it. The love of Jesus Christ is steady, e...

I don’t ever want to forget how amazing God's love really is. It’s not a cautious love, and it’s not a love that gives up easily. It’s like a parent who won’t stop looking for their child, even when that child has run the other direction and made it clear they don’t want to be found. Today, Pastor Terry shares that even when betrayal enters Jesus’s story, when everything seemed lost, God doesn’t w...

Have you ever been betrayed? Not just disappointed, but deeply betrayed, by a friend you trusted, a spouse, a parent, even a child. That kind of pain doesn’t just hurt in the moment; it lingers. It settles into your heart and changes the way you trust and open yourself up again. Today, Pastor Terry reminds us that Jesus knows that pain. He wasn’t only betrayed by Judas; within hours, the rest of H...

Have you ever gotten all dressed up and ready to head out, only to step out the front door to get your shoes all muddy? In most situations, you don’t need a whole wardrobe change, but just to wipe your shoes off on the grass. Today in his teaching, Pastor Terry wants you to know that if you’ve been washed in the blood of Christ, then you’re clean. But sometimes you get a little mud on your feet. S...

There are certain perks that come with promotion, right? Imagine a bank president scrubbing toilets in the bathroom. That’s just not something anyone would expect. Or maybe think of a sports team owner going into the locker room and cleaning up all the lockers… Most of us would think, can’t he pay someone to do that? In today’s message, Pastor Terry wants it to sink in that the God of the universe...

Ok, so we all have our secrets. Sometimes they’re just things that we’re embarrassed to tell other people about. Like, what if your whole family were HUGE football fans, but you really didn’t care much for it? Would they be offended if you told them that? Would you be afraid that you would no longer get invited to family gatherings? In his message today, Pastor Terry challenges you not to hold bac...

Today, although we have access to all kinds of information, it’s hard to know what we can believe. We certainly can’t trust everything we find on the internet. And now with AI, it’s even harder to tell what’s true and what’s not. But does that mean truth doesn’t exist? Not at all. In today’s message, Pastor Terry wants you to know that there’s overwhelming, solid evidence for God, yet many choose...

Have you ever seen a fight that seems fierce, both sides are fighting strongly, but you realize that the winner is already clear? You can tell that the loser doesn’t know he’s lost yet, or maybe he does. But either way, he’s still giving it his best shot. But in reality, the fight was over before it even began. In his message today, Pastor Terry wants you to know that Jesus defeated satan at the c...

Quite often in our justice system, multiple indictments will be made against an individual, with the expectation that not all of them will stick. If someone commits fraud, the prosecution will charge him with many counts. But with the right lawyer, he can get them to reduce the charges, sometimes to almost nothing. Is that justice? Today, Pastor Terry says, that true justice requires ALL sin to be...

We live in a world where we think that if you want to get anything in life, you have to go out there and get it for yourself. If you want to rise to the top, you have to be willing to do whatever it takes to get there. Anyone who doesn’t help you achieve your dreams is just fat to be trimmed. Today, Pastor Terry shares in his message that Jesus taught that the way up is down. Jesus said, if you se...

Every time a political leader rises to power, they come with an agenda. Sometimes that agenda is clear from the beginning, but other times it unfolds slowly throughout that leader's time in power. Some agendas are good. Some are not. Some agendas are straightforward. Some come out of left field. In his message today, Pastor Terry wants you to know that Jesus’s agenda here on earth was death. He ca...

What guy doesn’t love a good multipurpose tool? It’s a handy thing to have on you. If you need a knife, got it! Need a pair of tweezers? Here you go… Need pliers, wirecutters, or a fishhook removal tool? No problem!!! It’s great to have a tool that does it all. In today’s message, Pastor Terry encourages you to express your love to Jesus in a multitude of ways. Serve Him, tell others about Him, gi...

When people are in love, they can’t help but talk about teach other. There’s something special when you hear, even couples who have been together for decades, speak about each other - there’s a love that’s so evident in the way they speak of one another. In Pastor Terry’s teaching today, he wants you to know that if you love Jesus, then go ahead and talk about Him as much as you want. It’s a great...

There are lots of things that people tend to put off. Many people procrastinate when it comes to things like saving for retirement, getting a health screening, or maybe even writing a will… they’re all things that need to be done, but too often we just keep putting them off. In his message today, Pastor Terry urges you not to put off your relationship with God another day. Jesus paid the price for...

These days, you can travel to just about anywhere you want to go. And you can travel just about any way you want to as well. By plane, car, boat, train… or hey, if you’ve got enough cash, you can take a rocket up into space. Seriously… transportation options these days are incredible. In Pastor Terry’s message today, he wants to be explicitly clear that the ONLY way to heaven is through Jesus Chri...

Most of us have been to a funeral before. Or at least have seen one on TV. Funerals are a time when people gather to mourn the death of their deceased friends, family, and loved ones. Typically, they are a somber occasion, often filled with mourners clothed in black to add to the mood. But in today’s message, Pastor Terry tells you about a funeral that Jesus attended, and how He flipped it upside...

“Jesus wept.” This has to be one of the easiest scriptures in the Bible to memorize, yet it is such a loaded statement. When we weep, it’s because of sorrow. Life is overwhelming, someone we love dies, or some other bad news comes up… these are all things that make us weep… but what about Jesus? In Pastor Terry’s message, he suggests that it’s the curse of sin and death on humanity that brought te...
