Imagine being really united under something that had one purpose, and everyone could agree on what they were there for. Isn’t that how this nation used to be? It seems a far cry from that now, but in today’s message, Pastor Terry’s speaking about a time and place where the people rallied together to make something happen. This couldn’t have been done without everyone focusing on the end goal. It’s...

Some of the cruelest enemies that you might face at school or in a work setting are the ones that just laugh at you. They think you’re “other” or you don’t fit in with their crowd or their idea of what success is. Their mockery starts to get into your head, and then if you’re not careful, you start to believe the lies they’re saying about you. Keep in mind, as Pastor Terry teaches today, that you...

What does it take to be a great leader? You might think that it requires taking charge and instructing everyone else what to do. But looking at a leader from a different angle, the best kind of leader is one who empowers others to step up and lead out in their own individual way. As you listen today, Pastor Terry will give you a great example of a man who became a leader in a situation that was le...

God’s calling you to do something for the Kingdom, to make an impact while you’re here on earth. That can be hard when the world is in chaos, but that doesn’t give you an excuse to sit back and watch. There’s likely something that’s happening right now that breaks your heart – an injustice you can’t stand. Pastor Terry wants you to know today that it could be God pointing out the area you’re meant...

Prayer is powerful – it changes you and your view of the world, and it connects you to your Creator in a deeper way. And it can be even more effective when you’re spending time regularly communicating with God! Is prayer a part of your daily life? Today Pastor Terry will encourage you to take everything to the Lord – the good and bad alike. And in those moments of emergency when you don’t have the...

Pastor Terry will be sharing today a list of sins the Israelites had committed – idol worship, sacrifices, hypocrisy, and much more. Each step away from God was an act of rebellion. They turned away from the incredible blessings their Creator was providing, all for temporary pleasure. Today, rebellion continues. You see it everywhere – people turning to temporary happiness even when they know a be...

How do you respond to bad news? Do you freeze, or do you jump full force into action? Many times, people choose the latter – diving right in to fix a problem, even without all the information. But is that how God would want you to react? Today Pastor Terry begins a new study in the book of Nehemiah, an Old Testament book with parallels for our culture today. Nehemiah was facing devastating, life-c...

Do you love music? So does the Lord. He adores hearing His people praise His name and worshipping with their voices and instruments. In today’s message, Pastor Terry encourages you to use your musical gifts and talents for the Lord. Lift praises to Him, make joyful sounds, give Him the glory. Musical instruments have long been used to worship things other than God. Instead, use these instruments t...

In today’s message, Pastor Terry retells the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. The greatest gift ever given was the gift of salvation and redemption. Jesus was fully God and fully man, so was able to give Himself as a ransom to save us from the wrath of God. When we accept Jesus’ gift, we’re adopted as God’s children and are sealed for eternity. Have you accepted this gift from Jesus? Acknowledge th...

The most important relationship in your life is the one you have with God. How do you nurture it? Do you treat Him the way you treat your best friend or more like an acquaintance that you sometimes make time for? Today, Pastor Terry urges you to invest and strive to make your relationship with God the top priority. Without a vertical relationship, your horizontal relationships will be less success...

We serve an all-knowing God. We’ll never fully understand what this attribute means until we get to Heaven and can ask Him ourselves, but in the meantime, Pastor Terry uses King David’s approach to personalizing God’s omniscience. Yes, God knows everything, but on an individual level, He knows everything about you! The Bible says He knows every hair on your head. You were planned before the dawn o...

Souls are won for Christ when believers are united. On the other hand, when churches are backbiting and bickering, people lose interest and turn away from Christ. Who needs more drama in their life? In today’s message, Pastor Terry begs believers to let go of the small, insignificant things in life. Don’t be right, just for the principle of it and make enemies while you’re at it. Stand firm in the...

Christians are called to church unity. But this doesn’t mean we’re supposed to be clones of one another, believing precisely the same thing about every minute detail and worshipping God the exact same way. He created us as individuals in cultures that are unique. He desires that we thrive where we are and be lights of the Gospel in a variety of settings. As Pastor Terry reminds us today, churches...

Are you following Jesus wholeheartedly? Maybe you’ve surrendered MOST of your life to the Lord, but you’re still holding onto control over part of it. In the message today, Pastor Terry will urge you to give it ALL to the Lord. When He’s directing your ways, it all changes. He provides peace that passes understanding. This world will trick you into believing you can find contentment through materi...

In today’s message, Pastor Terry will urge you to keep the Lord at the center of whatever you do. Whether you’re building a business or making a life-changing decision, you’re called to bathe it in prayer first and foremost. It’s empty without God in it…no matter what it is that you’re pursuing in life. Will you seek God and allow Him to lead you each step of the way? As a Christian, God calls us...

God isn’t some distant being. He’s here with us, living amongst us. God created you and He loves you more than you can imagine. He knows you better than you know yourself. In the message today, Pastor Terry will share on worshiping the Lord. God has provided you with life and in turn, we’re to offer praises to Him. You can praise him with your whole life… not just on Sunday mornings. Will you glor...

Praising the Lord is more than singing worship songs at church on Sunday mornings. Pastor Terry will remind you in the message today that you can praise the Lord during your quiet time, as you serve others in the workplace, or at home … it’s in everything that you do! Is your life an expression of praise to God? Even mundane, everyday tasks can be turned around to bring glory to God. The purpose o...

As Christians, we live under an almighty authority. Does this feel true for you? Before making financial decisions, do you seek God’s wisdom? When deciding on a tv show, do you consider what God would find appropriate? Does your life look different than your neighbor’s because your life is grounded in the love of God? In today’s message, Pastor Terry encourages Christians to develop a healthy fear...

God’s favor has been with the United States for hundreds of years. He’s prospered us, grown us, and helped us thrive. Today, Pastor Terry discusses the possibility that God is taking away His favor. We’ve turned our backs on God, so He’s taking His blessing from us. In a nation more divided than ever, one can see Pastor Terry’s point. He implores us to get back to prayer. Christians need to bend t...

In Jesus Christ, your eternity is secure. When you receive Him as Lord and Savior of your life, you’re sealed as His child and this world is no longer your home. You’re a pilgrim, who’s simply living this existence on your way to your actual forever life. In today’s message, Pastor Terry discusses the difference between a fugitive, a vagabond, a stranger, and a pilgrim. Everyone but a pilgrim is l...

In today’s message, Pastor Terry talks about the heart of a pilgrim. As Christians, we’re pilgrims in this world. This isn’t our home; we’re just passing through on our way to our forever heavenly home. But in the meantime, as pilgrims, we should love God above all else. After all, we’re heading to the eternity that He created for us. There should be nothing on this earth that takes a greater piec...

By the end of Psalm 77, the author has corrected his focus. Rather than turning inward, he begins to remember that God is still in control. No matter what his world looks like, no matter his trials, God is his only hope. Today, Pastor Terry points out that in this Psalm, the author changes from using personal pronouns to instead using direct references to God. Changing your focus is important. Whe...

Psalm 77 begins with the author lamenting and feeling sorry for himself. He’s turned his focus inward. In today’s message, Pastor Terry strongly encourages you to avoid doing that. When you begin looking inward, you stop looking toward Jesus. Your attention is misdirected, and your hope vanishes. Jesus can pull you from the depths. He can fill your cup. He can lift you up. And He can give you stre...

Keeping our eyes focused on Jesus can be difficult when our lives are challenging. When we’re struggling financially, have health issues, or can’t give our children the desires they wish for, it’s easy to miss the mark and forget that this world is not what it’s about. Your hope is in Jesus. Today, Pastor Terry reminds you that with Jesus, you have everything you need. There’s nothing this world c...

It’s difficult to live a life of contentment. We so easily fall into the trap of coveting, feeling sorry for ourselves, or wishing we lived someone else’s life. But if you’re a Christian, you need to change your perspective. In today’s message, Pastor Terry reminds us that our citizenship isn’t in this world. If we look to this life for pleasure, we’ll never be satisfied. Instead, we should keep o...
