The relationship between a mother and her child is a beautiful thing to consider. When a child is sick, especially an infant, the mother sacrifices much to be there and to care for her child. Even if it means being available to care for and comfort her child all day and all night. Why? Because of her love for that child. Today, Pastor Terry wants you to know that Jesus loves YOU. That’s not just a...

Impressionism is an art style that uses visible brush strokes rather than striving to be accurate in the fine details. Although the end result is indeed a decipherable image, when you look up close, it may seem like chaotic blurs of paint. The best way to observe impressionist art is to step back and look at the big picture; the culmination of many brush strokes all come together. Today, Pastor Te...

When a kid touches a stove and learns that it hurts them because it’s hot, what do they do? Well, they’re usually scared to go near stoves again because they know the repercussions of getting close! In today’s message, Pastor Terry says that’s how we should be with sin. The blood of Christ redeems you, and anything that goes against Him hurts you! Of course, as a Christian, you must flee from sin!...

It’s common that in a superhero movie, the bad guy is pursuing immortality. They want to be immortal so they can cause death and destruction forever. What if I told you there’s a way you can have life beyond the grave? In today’s message, Pastor Terry says if you believe Jesus is Lord and accept Him into your heart, you’ll have eternal life. Do you believe in Jesus? If you don’t, there’s no better...

When a child is young, they need guidance from their parents to know what’s good and what’s bad. The difficult thing for a parent is understanding when to step in and when to let the child learn from their failures. Like a parent, Jesus wants to lead you in your life. Today, Pastor Terry says Jesus will always guide you to greener pastures. He loves you and wants to set you up so you’ll succeed. H...

If you know anything about shepherding, you’ll know that sheep make dumb decisions all the time. They follow anyone to anything. They don’t have a sense of knowing what’s good for them, so don’t you think it’s interesting that Jesus calls us sheep and Himself the good shepherd? Are we really that naïve to the world around us? Today, Pastor Terry says you need a shepherd to guide you because withou...

When I was younger, I would always pick fights with my sister. I would try to win any argument I could, and even if I was wrong, I would still argue! Today, Pastor Terry says the disciples did something similar. They saw someone hurting, but instead of going to help him, they wanted to debate about his life. But what did Jesus do? Jesus not only healed the man but also met him where he was at. He...

Let me be the first to say, I am the worst at looking out for those in need. I must confess, sometimes, instead of going towards them, I look away because I feel like there are more pressing things. In today’s message, Pastor Terry says we must be like Jesus and go towards those who are hurting. Jesus stopped everything to help those in need and used their situation to bring them to the gospel. In...

In every relationship, it takes two people to succeed. Once one person decides they don’t want to put effort into the relationship, it begins to crumble instantly. Today, Pastor Terry says if you seek after Jesus and ask Him to show you the truth, it’ll be revealed to you. But you must actively seek it! God wants to have a relationship with you! It’s your choice to desire it as well. He’ll lead yo...

When I was younger, one of my favorite games to play was hide and seek. If you’re unfamiliar, one person counts while everyone else goes and finds a hiding spot. Then the seeker must find everyone. Unfortunately, I wasn’t the best at it… I was one of the first people found every time! Today, Pastor Terry says Jesus is seeking after you! He chases after the outcast and those who seem like they are...

You have a choice to make today. Do you think that Jesus is who He says He is? Or do you think He is a liar, or maybe even a lunatic? Pastor Terry reminds you today that there can’t be any fence-sitting when it comes to the nature of Jesus. Many people will say that they respect Jesus as a moral teacher, but not as the Son of God. But you can’t take the teachings of Jesus on their own and ignore t...

The Bible teaches us that we all have immortal souls living within our mortal bodies. One day or another, our time on this Earth will come to an end, and our souls will move on to one of two possible outcomes. Pastor Terry reminds us today that being in Christ doesn’t just free us from death, it frees us from our fear of death itself. No longer do we fear death as an unknown void, instead, we begi...

C.S. Lewis wrote a short book in 1960 called The Four Loves, where he explores the difference between sympathetic, friendly, romantic, and unconditional love. These four loves overlap with each other, but the greatest of them all is the unconditional love that God has for us. In today’s message, Pastor Terry teaches us that the love Jesus has for us, and the love that we return to Him, is far beyo...

There is a popular phrase that says, “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.” There is some biblical truth to this phrase, because Satan wants nothing more than for you to believe that he isn’t real, and that he doesn’t pose any threat to humanity. But Pastor Terry implores you today to take the enemy seriously. He is a real being, and his greatest goal...

In today’s age, we’ve gotten used to instant gratification. We can get whatever we want, from anywhere in the world, oftentimes with free two-day shipping. However, that instant gratification can cause us to be inpatient when we have to wait on things in life. Thankfully, Pastor Terry teaches us today that one thing that is truly instant is Jesus’ forgiveness! When we accept Him into our hearts, H...

A common danger in mountainous regions is an avalanche. What starts as a small shift in the snow on the mountainside can turn into a chain reaction that creates disaster for anything caught in its path. Pastor Terry warns you to be careful around sinful behavior today, because you never know how sin can compound and turn into something bigger than it was when you started. You should tread lightly...

Without Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, you and I wouldn’t have the hope of salvation! We’ve learned that because of our sinful nature, we belong to the kingdom of Satan. But Pastor Terry encourages us to accept Jesus’ gift of forgiveness, because that is what allows us to become citizens of God’s Kingdom! We are no longer identified as citizens of the world; we become citizens of Heaven! That citi...

God’s Word teaches us that we are all guilty of sin. We have inherited our sinful nature from our parents, and from their parents before them, and we deserve to be separated from God for eternity. But Pastor Terry is here today to remind us that we don’t have to be resigned to the fate we were born with. Jesus provides us with the choice of a different outcome, one where we can be reborn, free of...

Have you tried to find the light switch in a dark room? Even if you know the exact location of the light switch, it can be a challenge to find your way in the pitch black. But with just a tiny bit of light, you can get your bearings and navigate through the darkness. Pastor Terry teaches you today that while the light that Jesus places in you pales in comparison to His own glory, that little bit o...

Evil is all around us in this world. If we turn on the news, it takes all of five minutes for us to have at least three reasons to fear for the future. At times, it can feel hopeless, like Satan and his forces have won. But Pastor Terry is here today to give us a message of hope! Jesus is the light of the world, and His perfect light casts out Satan and his influence. When we allow Jesus to take c...

You and I have been in a pit at some point in our lives. It may not be a physical pit, it may be a pit of depression, a pit of loneliness, or a pit of guilt that we thought we would never climb out of. But Pastor Terry uses the story of the woman caught in adultery to remind us that no matter how far we stray from God, He is always waiting to welcome us home. His hand is outstretched to us, so tha...

The story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery is a pivotal moment for anyone reading the Gospels. We’ve seen Jesus do miracles by healing the sick and feeding the masses, but this is a story where Jesus heals someone’s soul, not their body. Pastor Terry wants us to be aware today that the woman in this story is a victim of the religious leaders of her time. While we are mandated to preach th...

You’ve probably encountered someone in your life who thinks they are better than everyone else! They believe that the amount of study and education they’ve received permits them to tell everyone else how they should follow Jesus. But Pastor Terry reminds you today that the only source you need to tell you how to follow Jesus is God’s Word. A good pastor does not just tell you how to live your life...

Witnessing to someone isn’t supposed to be like a court of law. You’re not supposed to be the one convincing someone of God’s existence. Frankly, if someone doesn’t believe in God, it isn’t likely that someone telling them God exists will change their mind. However, Pastor Terry reminds you today that God is perfectly capable of revealing Himself to humanity. It is not your role to reveal God to s...

Have you ever watched those superhero flicks where a dazzling beam of energy shoots from the hero's palms, obliterating the bad guys? It's pretty epic, right? Have you ever considered that you can actually project the power of the Holy Spirit? Today, Pastor Terry shares some insights on the amazing ways God’s Spirit moves and operates within you. He makes his entrance the moment you embrace Salvat...
