When you're enjoying a meal, you might like to sip on some refreshing fruit juice or perhaps a fizzy Diet Coke on the side. But let's be real, nothing quite hits the spot like a refreshing glass of water after a meal. In the same vein, folks often believe they can depend entirely on worldly pleasures and material possessions for the long haul. In today’s message, Pastor Terry explains how Jesus is...

Picture yourself in a towering office building with a whopping hundred floors to explore. If you want to bring something up, you’ll need to head all the way down to the ground floor first to lift it back up again. Just imagine how painful it will be! In the same way, Jesus came down to the very lowest point just to save you! Today, Pastor Terry tells you how Jesus endured immense suffering. He wen...

A lot of Christians dig into the Bible as if they’re on an exciting treasure hunt. What they're really after is discovering what God can do for them and the promises He holds for their lives. So, as a believer, how often do you dive into God’s Word just to really get to know your Creator better? Today, Pastor Terry invites you to embrace a deep love for God. Getting to know Him better opens up a w...

You might believe that enrolling in a Bible college or hitting the books at a top-notch theology institute will give you all the insights into God’s Word that you’re looking for. Pastor Terry wants to highlight that, although diving into the Bible can broaden your understanding, the Holy Spirit truly is the ultimate teacher! As you read God’s Word, you’ll find that God begins to speak to you throu...

Most people like to drift off to dreamland with the lights turned down low. But you know how it is in the middle of the night—someone flicks on the light, and your eyes just go wild, don’t they? Similarly, when Jesus uncovers the hidden sins in people's lives, their response is often one of negativity. When you take a moment to reflect, you might just find that Jesus had it spot on all along, and...

When you dive into the gospel, have you ever thought about why the Pharisees were so set on opposing Jesus? So, all Jesus really did was heal the sick and spread the truth, huh? What really set the Pharisees off was when Jesus cleared out the businesses right in front of the temple. Some folks really struggle with Jesus when their hidden flaws come to light, don’t they? Today, Pastor Terry invites...

Imagine yourself fallen, with no way to get back up, and as many people continue to walk on by, someone comes and offers you a hand. What many people don’t realize is that the world continues to walk on by, even after you’ve fallen, as if nothing has happened to you. But Jesus Christ is the hand that reaches out and helps you. Today, you have a choice to make. Will you try to get by, as you’ve alw...

One of the most amazing things about God is that He gives us free will. If God wanted robots, He could have created us without the ability to choose. Instead, He designed us with a real choice: to follow Him or to follow the world. God loves us so much that He invites us into a relationship with Him, and He desires that we respond to His love willingly. So, what will you choose: the fleeting pleas...

Have you ever been woken in the middle of the night by the sound of thunder or the heavy downfall of rain mixed with strong winds? That’s a storm. And storms often come into your life just when everything seems calm. As you walk through this life, your path isn’t always smooth. Trials and tribulations will come, and many times, they are beyond your control. But today, Pastor Terry reminds you that...

We live in a broken world, a world full of hurt and anger. Sometimes, we carry that burden with us as we go through life. If that’s you, aren’t you tired of the weight of sin that holds you down? Don’t you know there’s someone who can break the chains of addiction and heal the hurt of the past in your life? His name is Jesus Christ, and in today’s message, Pastor Terry wants you to know that He is...

Many of us have heard of the Exodus, when the Israelite nation was freed from over four hundred years of slavery. But did you know that afterward the Israelites complained about how good they had it before — when they were slaves in Egypt? Sometimes we forget how good we truly have it, even to the point where we look back at the way things used to be, as if those were better times. Today, Pastor T...

If you’re a parent, you know that your kids don’t always want to cooperate. Whether it’s around the house or just getting ready for bed, children can be stubborn. But as they grow and begin to understand more, they learn to trust and listen to you. In the same way, as believers, we go through a spiritual process called sanctification. Today, Pastor Terry reminds you that God has a wonderful future...

As a new year begins, many of us start setting resolutions. If your goal is to lose weight, you don’t keep eating junk food or skip working out; instead, you begin watching what you eat and making time to exercise. That process of discipline and consistency is how you physically get into shape. Similarly, when you come to Christ, everyone starts the same way. Today, Pastor Terry explains that the...

Could you imagine what it would be like to grow with someone forever? Someone who wants the best for you, who loves you so much, who is willing to die for you, and who is willing to let you choose Him? Many people never know what it’s like to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. But in today’s message, Pastor Terry wants you to know that if you give your life to Jesus, you can have that relation...

This Christmas season, it can be so much fun to share gifts with loved ones. It can be a wonderful time to see the joy on the children's faces as they burst with excitement when it comes time to finally open their gifts. Oh, I hope you love it as much as I do! Today, in Pastor Terry’s message, he wants you to know that one of the greatest gifts you can ever receive is the gift of the Holy Spirit....

Do you ever wish you knew somebody? No, I don’t just mean anybody, I mean somebody who could do things for you. Like the type of person who could get you to the front of the line at a crowded restaurant. Or the type of person that could make all of your financial troubles disappear… Wouldn’t that be great? Well, in his message today, Pastor Terry lets you know that when you enter into a personal r...

If it’s the thought that counts, then why is it that we spend so much on gifts? Isn’t love priceless? But still, every year we put all this effort into putting gifts under the tree for our friends, family, and loved ones. But what we do isn’t so much about how much we spend, but about showing others we love them. Today, Pastor Terry shares with you that when it costs you to give to God, you’re say...

Have you ever seen on TV or in the news that some wealthy businessman made an extraordinary donation to a nonprofit? Oh, and there’s always a picture of the benefactor handing over a check the size of Texas — with all of those zeros in plain sight for everyone to see his generosity! In today’s message, Pastor Terry teaches you that the only One you should be concerned with seeing what you give is...

What kind of friends do you have? Do you surround yourself with those who will tell you what you WANT to hear? A bunch of “Yes men”? Or do you have the REAL kind of friends who will give it to you straight, even at the risk of offending you? In today’s message, Pastor Terry shares with you that Jesus spoke truth in love, and in doing so, many have been offended by Him. Jesus doesn’t want you to fe...

You know, the health food and supplement industry has become huge right now. Maybe you have your own supplement or diet routine that you follow. Or at least, maybe you’ve seen advertisements suggesting that with the right protocol, you could be in the best health of your life! Well, in today’s message, Pastor Terry wants you to know that eternal life only comes through Jesus! No matter what you ta...

Who doesn’t LOVE food? I mean, maybe some have a sweet tooth and can’t turn down anything sugary… cookies, candies, ice cream, donuts, pastries… others may be more of the carnivorous persuasion… All things meat. Perfect medium rare ribeye, 24-hour slow-cooked smoked brisket, bratwurst, chicken wings…. Is your mouth watering yet? In his message today, Pastor Terry tells you that only Jesus, the Bre...

Have you ever started a conversation with your spouse by immediately listing everything that needs to get done—errands, schedules, problems to solve? After a while, you realize you’re talking at them, not with them. We can approach Jesus the same way. Our prayers become lists of things we want Him to fix, rather than moments to thank Him, worship Him, and simply be with Him. Pastor Terry will expl...

What kind of Savior are we looking for? It’s an important question, because many people come to Jesus hoping He’ll simply fix their material needs—provide comfort, success, security, or the life they’ve always wanted. But if that’s all we expect, we miss who He truly is. Today, Pastor Terry will share with you that Jesus didn’t come just to upgrade your circumstances; He came to transform your hea...

Today, Pastor Terry will ask you a powerful question: What’s in your hands? You may think God is waiting for you to develop impressive skills or gather significant resources before He can use you. But throughout Scripture and throughout your life, God delights in taking whatever humble offerings or abilities you already carry and turning them into something far greater than you imagined. When you...

If you’ve ever spent time with a young child, you know the endless stream of questions: Why is the sky blue? Where do birds sleep? Can I have a snack? It never stops. And honestly, it can wear you out. Today, Pastor Terry will reassure you that God isn’t like you. He’s never overwhelmed, never irritated, never too busy to listen. You can bring Him every request, every fear, every hope, without wor...
