It’s easy to think that we are good people when we compare ourselves to other people! We think, “Well I haven’t done THAT so I guess I’m doing all right!” That may be a good way to boost your pride, but that is not how we measure our relationship with God. With God, we must measure up to the standard of PERFECTION. Try as we may, we never can live up to that, but God had a plan. He sent down his s...

When you pray, how often do you think about the words that you are saying? Do you tend to pray differently when praying in front of other people than when you pray by yourself? Well in today’s message, Pastor Terry will be looking at two different people and how they come to God. It’s amazing though because this parable is just further proof that God looks at the heart, while all that man can see...

Have you ever had a conversation with someone who said something like, “I like Jesus, but I don’t like the Church?” Unfortunately, we as the church can sometimes do a poor job at representing what it looks like to be like Christ. We fall into the system of religion, rather than the freedom found in Christ. In today’s message, Pastor Terry will be sharing about when Jesus was trying to teach this l...

When was the last time you saw someone show unconditional love to a person that they don’t even know? The story of the Good Samaritan is one of the best examples that we have of what it looks like to live with your neighbor! Jesus uses this story to explain to the Pharisees exactly who their neighbor is. As Pastor Terry explains in today’s message, our neighbor is anyone in we see who has a need t...

When you think of God’s Grace, do you think of it in tandem with his Justice? God is a just God and he will have to judge the world one day. However, He is also a merciful God! He loves to lavish grace on us, even when we do not deserve it! In today’s Message, Pastor Terry will continue in the story of the prodigal son, and we can see how God’s grace will play out for the younger brother, but also...

Have you ever stopped and thought about the Grace of God? When we have a proper definition and understanding of what Grace is, then we can begin to see it all throughout our lives! When we look through the Old Testament we can see where God was gracious to the Israelites. Sometimes they didn’t deserve it, but that is why it’s called grace! In today’s message, Pastor Terry will share another exampl...

Often believers in Christ view prayer as a task to be performed, an airing of requests needed, or just a plea for help. Today, Pastor Terry will instead encourage you to view prayer as Daniel did. It’s an essential part of a life of faith. It’s how you get to know God and His will for your life. It’s how you grow in trust, hope, and joy in life. You will be filled and strengthened each and every t...

In a world of debauchery and excess, of pleasure and independence, do you stand out as different from those around you? Pastor Terry will ask you today if others can see the reflection of God in your life. For a few generations of kings, everyone knew of Daniel and of his faith in God almighty. They knew He trusted God with his whole heart. They knew that God’s power, wisdom, and might were within...

Sometimes we don’t understand why God has us go through the trials that He gives us. Do you have any questions for God? In today’s message, Pastor Terry discusses the questions that we may have for God. It can be difficult to understand why God sent His Son, and why certain things happen in life. Nothing in your life is a coincidence, God has already planned your life out. He knows, understands, a...

Have you thought about what the antichrist will be like? The Bible discusses in detail how the Antichrist will rule. In today’s message, Pastor Terry digs into the verses discussing the Antichrist. The Antichrist will control and rule all the earth. He will set a one-world economy and a one-world religion. He will desire the world to worship himself. As the world and technology have progressed, th...

Fame is desirable. Everyone would like to be famous. But, do you strive for earthly fame, or heavenly fame? In this message, Pastor Terry talks about how earthly notoriety will not equate to heavenly fame. Culture defines certain world positions and statuses as more important than others. But, at the end of the day, everything on earth is temporary. Worldly ranks don’t matter to God. God doesn’t c...

Being a Christian comes with battles. Satan will do everything in his power to interrupt your relationship with Christ. Have you ever thought about giving up on God because of those encounters? In today’s message, Pastor Terry talks about how the battle has already been fought. Because of Jesus's sacrifice, victory has already been achieved. Does that mean that it won’t get difficult? No - it abso...

Are you prepared for the end times? In today’s message, Pastor Terry challenges us by going over the end times prophecy. The rapture is going to happen, and then the antichrist will rule the world, by promising to unite the world. But the Antichrist will control every component of the world, including creating a one-world religion. We as Christians need to be prepared for the end times. The antich...

Have you thought about what will happen during the end times? Or about who will rule during the end times? Today, Pastor Terry investigates the end times, focusing on how the king is prophesied to rule. The Antichrist will rule the world after the rapture. He will defy everything that the Lord calls for. During this time, Christians need to stand up for the word of God. The Antichrist will call fo...

Have you ever thought about how we are supposed to interoperate the Bible? There are multiple different ways that the Bible is taken – literally, allegorically, or metaphorically. In today’s message, Pastor Terry talks about how we are supposed to analyze the Bible literally. The Bible was fully written by God. The Bible does use metaphors with parables, but the Bible is literal. Adam was literall...

Have you ever thought about the prophetic word of the Bible? In today’s message, Pastor Terry walks us through the prophecy that Daniel received for the people of Israel. He uses the specific example of Cleopatra’s betrayal of her father. The Bible is so specific with its prophecy, that it gives specific significant dates where events will occur. All the prophetic text in the Bible has come true o...

Have you ever felt that Satan was consistently attacking you? And that you could not fight for much longer? In today’s message, Pastor Terry talks about how when we have the Holy Spirit, we can withstand any attack against our spirit. God gives us the Holy Spirit when we put our trust in Him. When the Holy Spirit inhabits us, our foundation is solid. God enables us to be a concrete fortress. God h...

Have you ever felt like the Lord wasn’t listening to you? That your prayers felt like you were talking to a brick wall? In today’s message, Pastor Terry discusses how when we seek after the Lord, He will reveal Himself. The Lord talks about how when we strive for His heart, He will respond. Our relationship with the Lord cannot be one-sided. We need to pursue after the Lord daily through reading o...

Have you ever thought about what God means when He addresses the Church? Today Pastor Terry talks about how the Church is not a building where people go to worship. The Church is in fact the people. It’s the body of believers. There are no requirements to be part of this church, outside of putting your faith in Jesus. It doesn’t matter what your life looked like before you came to know Jesus. No m...

Have you ever thought about how detail-oriented God is? In fact, the Old Testament is packed with prophecy, which is fulfilled in the New Testament. Today, Pastor Terry investigates one of these examples of prophecy. The Lord was so specific on the date that Jesus would enter Jerusalem that He foretold it in the book of Daniel – many, MANY years before! God was so thorough in the timeline of Jesus...

When a child tries to cover up a wrong they have done, it's usually futile. Often, you already know what they have done before they even try to cover it up. It can even seem comical to see a child try to pull the wool over an adult's eyes. And yet, we try to do the same with God. Sometimes we might avoid coming to God altogether. And if we do pray to God, we try to cover up the sin in our life. To...

Do you have a role model in your life? Is there someone that you respect and model your life after? When you need some advice, is there someone you can count on to have the right answer? In the Bible, Daniel is a great role model to look at. He's a solid example of how to stand up for what is right, and how to interact with those in authority, and today Pastor Terry shows us his amazing example of...

The book of Daniel shows us some harrowing accounts of what will happen in the future. It tells of evil kings and leaders, and the atrocities they will commit. All this can be frightening and troubling. But as Pastor Terry reminds you today, there is a good king, and his name is Jesus. No matter what evil will come in the days ahead, he will remain good and he will remain on the throne. He has alr...

Being able to see into the future would be an amazing superpower to have. You would be able to see what people around you are going to do and you could always make the right decision based on your own safety and prosperity. But knowing the future could also bring worry and anxiety. Today, Pastor Terry looks at a vision Daniel had. This dream is concerning to Daniel, and it troubles his spirit. But...

Have you ever heard someone described as being “a self-made man”? We praise someone who rises to a position of influence and power seemingly by their own will and tenacity. Being able to make things happen is worn as a badge of honor. But as Pastor Terry teaches today, no one is truly a self-made man. Every ruler who has ever been in power and any person who has been placed in a position of author...
