Summons Radio

There's a deadly spiritual condition that creeps within the church, and it's called religious hypocrisy. When the religious leaders of Jesus' day were confronted to repent of their sin, they responded by saying they were sons of Abraham. They were basically saying, we were born into this and therefore were good with God. Today, Pastor Terry will be reminding you that just because you were born int...

When was the last time you meditated on the fact that Jesus purchased you from a life of bondage and sin and set you free? You weren't purchased with an animal sacrifice, or some cheap, common thing.

When Jesus taught messages that challenged the listeners’ life and religion, many deserted him. He wasn’t teaching what they wanted to hear. Nor was he fulfilling their worldly expectations. Yet, as Pastor Terry will teach today, his disciples stayed with him because they knew he alone had the words of salvation and eternal life. And even if you don’t understand him, continue to cling to him. He i...

Though he was the greatest teacher in all of history, Jesus’ teachings were rarely easy. Often he taught things that pushed against the listeners’ belief systems and pre-conceived expectations. Today, Pastor Terry will challenge you to let go of your worldly opinions and values and see the truth Jesus has to offer. His purpose in difficult teachings is to cause you to think differently and lead yo...

Jesus's entire existence here on earth was a form of sacrifice. He gave up His powers to be placed in a mans body. He allowed Himself be born into a poor family instead of one with power and riches. He even dedicated the human life He had to serving others instead of ruling over them. Pastor Terry reminds you today that Jesus could've done whatever He wanted yet He chose to serve you. He gave His...

Summons Radio is the daily radio program featuring the Bible teaching of Pastor Terry Gray.

Embarrassing moments are a part of life. But, as you’ll see today, there’s a difference between tripping and falling in front of people and being intentionally publicly humiliated. In this edition of Summons, Pastor Terry wades through the account of a woman caught in adultery. You’ll discover that this woman’s deep shame and humiliation are noticed by Jesus. He doesn’t treat her with the same dis...

The religious elite of Jesus’ day came not to hear his teaching to try to make sense of it according to scripture. They came simply to trip him up and convince the common man that he was a fraud. They treated everyone else as inferior and stupid and in need of their religious wisdom. Today, Pastor Terry will contrast the way Jesus taught to these religious leaders. He loved all. He taught truth fr...

If you’re not a believer in Jesus, you’re not yet saved for eternity. But there’s hope for you until your very last breath. Choosing to believe Jesus for salvation will save your soul. Yet, as Pastor Terry explains today, choosing to be open to the idea of Jesus is a good place to start. Don’t be like the hard hearted, prideful religious elites who rejected Jesus without a thought. Instead, keep a...

Some Christians believe that when you come to Jesus for salvation and he provides his living water – the Holy Spirit, you then can rest and wait for heaven. However, as Pastor Terry explains today, God didn’t fill you, believer, with his Spirit to simply bless you but so that you will then bless others. The power of the Spirit will flow from you to impact others’ lives if you allow it. If you’re w...

Many people today are unaware of their deep need of the satisfaction that’s found only in Jesus. Most don’t recognize their need of Jesus, feeling content with religion, relationships or career. However, as Pastor Terry explains today Jesus offered something far more significant and important. Himself. He offers himself to anyone and everyone. He offers himself to those who need him and know it. D...

In our world today, the way to become know and great is to become more… More liked, powerful or important. Yet, as Pastor Terry teaches today, the true way to become great is the complete opposite. You must seek to become humble and obedient to God, like Jesus did. He left the glorious riches of heaven to become man. What a step down that was! He humbled himself all the way to death on the cross b...

There is so much in the world today to fill your mind with. Secular wisdom, opinions, selfish desires. Yet, none of these things will ever truly heal, satisfy or guide you. Today, Pastor Terry will encourage you to recognize the only source of wisdom in seeking the abundant life you desire is in the word of God. Read it, recognize God’s voice to you through it and live your life according to it! T...

The word doctrine conjures up ideas of stuffy people sitting in stuffy libraries, pouring over words and ideas of God. It sounds boring and irrelevant really. Yet, as Pastor Terry explains today, good, sound doctrine is essential to the life of a believer. Doctrine is spiritual teaching and instruction on eternal matters. And your eternity is dependent on what you believe about God’s teaching. Goo...

Anytime something is exposed to the light, whatever was being hidden is revealed. This could be really helpful when you’re trying to find that pesky spider that keeps evading your kill. But what about when it’s something you don’t want to be uncovered? What about when it’s an area in your life that you prefer to keep hidden? In today’s teaching, Pastor Terry exhorts you to bring things into the li...

Your picture’s all over the media outlets. Your face is the most recognizable one of the week. But it’s not for a good reason. You’re on the Most Wanted list.

Your unwavering faith has sent you to the bottom of the barrel, being despised by m...

When you’re forced to do something, it’s far less rewarding than if you came to the conclusion that you should do it on your own. Whether it’s chores, a job application, or picking a spouse, you’re going to have a far better attitude about it if it was your idea in the first place. How much worse if God forced you to be part of His family rather than letting you choose? Today, Pastor Terry touches...

Can you imagine getting to a place where you’d never be hungry or thirsty a...
