Summons Radio

In his message, today, Pastor Terry talks about the amazing future in store for you, as a believer in Christ. To begin with, Jesus promised you, that you will never die! That alone is simply amazing. But on top of that, you will get a brand new body, to replace your old one – You know, that's wearing out and headed for the dust bin! And this new body – well... it will never get tired, never get si...

Today, Pastor Terry has a word of encouragement and exhortation for you. Keep going. There's so much more the Lord has for you. The work of salvation and sanctification is ongoing in you. He does it all. But you have a part to play. You must humbly submit to the Spirit in you, who will reveal all Truth, and give you, day by day, moment by moment instruction as to how you are to walk, by faith, ple...

Today, Pastor Terry wants you to understand, that God DOES give commands to us, to obey. Even though we're not under the Law of Moses any longer, the Living Word still gives us commands. It's a real-time relationship, where the Spirit of Truth, who is God, who lives in us, gives us instructions as to how to walk to please Him. By faith, we listen and obey. Remember, without faith, it is impossible...

Today, Pastor Terry brings an important message, about faith. Israel was puffed up by the Law, that had been given to them, by God. The focus of Judaism was the minutia of the Law and their own traditions. The result of their legalism was that they didn't recognize the singular point of the Law; Jesus. Faith, and the Law, are not on the same path. Paul writes, that the Law is not of faith and that...

In his message, today, Pastor Terry provides insight into the Day of Atonement. It's important to remember that all the feast days, in fact, all of what is given in the Law and the Prophets, are shadows of what Christ will do. Jesus fulfilled the appointed times of the feasts. And in the day that heaven and earth pass away, and the new heavens and earth are created, He will ultimately, and complet...

In his message, today, Pastor Terry compares the old covenant, with the new covenant, of salvation by grace through faith. No one has ever been saved by work. The pattern for the New Covenant is not found in the Law of Moses. It was added because Israel rejected the proposal to hear Him. The pattern is seen in the Abrahamic covenant. Abraham believed in God, and it accounted to Him as righteousnes...

Plenty of “Christian” groups both old and new; command that a person talks to so many different people in order to know God. Thankfully, we know that Jesus changed that! We don’t need to climb a corporate ladder to know God, and we should always remember and be thankful for that and that we should share that! In today’s message; Pastor Terry will go into greater detail about knowing God. And will...

Have you ever had a time in your life when the “rules” didn’t feel fair? You’re not the only one! Did you know that according to the Levitical Priesthood; Jesus himself - the Son of God - would have been forbidden from being a priest! Isn’t that crazy? Thankfully, Jesus doesn’t need permission from the pope to be Himself! In the message today; Pastor Terry is going to show us a few examples of old...

The church is a very important aspect of our faith. Not the building itself, mind you; but instead, the fellow servants of Christ that we associate with regularly! But sometimes we get distracted from serving our master by serving each other instead. It’s important to remember not just why we serve, but who we serve. In his message today, Pastor Terry will show us some helpful reminders, and how t...

The book of Hebrews is actually a letter to a very tight-knit community of Judaism. Within this community, it was very common for them to worship the saints from the Bible instead of Jesus himself! People who worshipped Jesus were actually ostracized from the group, losing their friends and sometimes even their families! But that didn’t stop them, did it? Pastor Terry tells you today that when you...

Previously; we were reminded how important it was not to get distracted from the grace of God by our own good works, since good works aren’t what let our salvation happen. But, within Titus; we’re actually told that we were created by God to do good works! Once we have our salvation in Christ, it becomes a lot clearer that we are supposed to take joy in doing good works through Jesus Christ! Today...

Doing good work is never a bad thing! It feels good to do good! However, it’s important not to forget that it isn’t our good works that bring us salvation. Paul taught this to Titus. He told him to preach the grace of God, for the grace of God brings salvation. Pastor Terry reminds us today that it’s not “going to church” that saves us; it’s not “making donations” or “volunteering at church events...

Has anyone ever trained you before? A parent, a coach, or a teacher? Do you remember the first time they let you work by yourself? Kind of a scary process, huh? Titus was in the same boat! He worked with the Apostle Paul and learned how to share the Gospel. Titus also brought about a massive change in Christianity by teaching that circumcision wasn’t necessary to show faith in Jesus! Today, Pastor...

In the last edition of Summons, Pastor Terry talked about preparing yourself emotionally, mentally, and spiritually in order to do God’s work. But there’s one more important detail to consider today! Oftentimes, people expect religious conflict to come from people outside. But the truth is that a massive amount of the same struggle can come from within the church itself! There are many different s...

Have you ever thought about working in ministry? It’s a very gratifying field, working for the Lord in such a strong way! But it’s important to remember that even in the most gratifying jobs, you’re going to face opposition if you’re trying to work for God. Pastor Terry will tell you today that you’re called to discipline yourself! In the same way, an athlete will train to prepare for heavy physic...

You probably know people out there who are imprisoned by their wealth. The more they make, the stingier they become. Well today, Pastor Terry wants to encourage you to do the opposite. He’d like to push you to be even more generous, the more money you have. Money is a passing thing, and it can be here today and gone tomorrow. But if you give freely, with an open hand, God will bless you in ways th...

Sometimes, a gift is exactly what you wanted. You were hoping for it, and when you were given it, you were so excited! Other times, you might be given a present that you didn’t ask for, but you end up liking it so much anyway! Well today, Pastor Terry is encouraging each person to be willing to use the spiritual gifting that He’s granted. If someone gives you a gift, the best way to show your grat...

When you go to the gym and lift weights, your goal is to get stronger and build some muscle. Well today, Pastor Terry wants you to lift some spiritual weights. He wants you to consider strengthening those spiritual muscles in the areas that God’s already given you. In the passage today, there’s some good advice from someone who’s lived a little more life, and from his own experience, he’s impartin...

You may not like something when you hear it, but once you realize there’s a back-story to the reason, or order behind it all, perhaps you can swallow that statement a little better. In today’s teaching, Pastor Terry touches on a controversial section of the Bible, related to men’s and women’s roles. But once you realize there’s order in marriage, family, government, and the workplace, you see that...

The truth is, God wants you to serve Him - and what you’ll hear from Pastor Terry today is that there are many many ways to serve the church. Whether you’re male or female, there are a variety of ways that you can use the gifts and talents that God’s given you to benefit the people around you! If you’re in a place of questioning God’s goodness or fairness, you might be surprised today to hear how...

When you think of a child who builds blocks out of Legos, it’s obvious to see there’s a need for a solid foundation at the base, to build the other Legos on top of. Sometimes, the building gets tall like a skyscraper, but it takes that firm footprint at the bottom to make it happen. Well in today’s teaching, Pastor Terry explains what the solid building blocks of any church should be, in order for...

Most anyone would say today that they think slavery is, and was wrong, in our nation’s history. What most people don’t realize is that they each are a slave to sin and are willingly allowing their master to rule and ruin their lives, in a cruel way. But today, Pastor Terry talks about a great example in the Bible, where a slave was set free. It’s such a perfect picture of what Jesus has done for y...

Almost anyone aches to hear a good redemption story. Whether it’s in the news, or in a book that you read, there’s something in your heart that longs to hear about wrong-doings being made right. You love when forgiveness reigns over bitterness… For repentance to be in the mix and a heart that’s been changed. Today, Pastor Terry expresses Paul’s desire behind a letter that was written to a man who...

When you think of the disciples, they were an unlikely grouping of people who had very little in common. But they came together under a theme of wanting to follow Jesus. Well today, Pastor Terry explains how Paul’s sphere of influence had the same result…lots of different personalities and types of people. But isn’t that the point? The church as a whole should be full of very different people who...

When someone gets a makeover, that usually involves a whole new wardrobe. They lay aside their old clothes, in order to have an entirely new, revamped set of clothes. It’s amazing how just having fresh and updated clothes can boost your self-esteem. Now think about knowing Jesus being like that new wardrobe. You can cast those old rags of sin aside, and put on the new clothing of salvation that on...
