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...

He came to change hearts and to save souls. If you were to analyze your relationship with Jesus what would you find? Are you following Him in hopes of gaining presents and prizes or are you following Him to gr...

Some Christians make the mistake of thinking that Jesus is here to simply make their lives easier. They've managed to convince themselves that faith is about gaining riches and material things. Today Pastor Terry teaches you that Jesus didn't go to the cross so that you could have the latest and greatest toys that the world has to offer. His reason for coming here is much greater then that. Jesus...

Today Pastor Terry teaches you that the fundamental action that all Christians should take part in is serving the needy. You're called to make time and to be available to those in need.

Too many Christians make the mistake of focusing only on the New Testament. They forget that the Old Testament is equally important and brings into context much of what the New Testament offers. Today Pastor Terry encourages you to study the Old Testament. He reminds you that those are the books that Jesus studied and that they describe the prophesies that He fulfilled. Get to know the Old Testame...

Pastor Terry Gray, El Paso, Summons, Calvary Chapel

The sabbath day was a gift from God to man, and we are meant to use one day a week to rest and celebrate all of God's blessings. On the other hand as Pastor Terry shares in his message today, God never stops working. He maintains the universe and keeps it all spinning. God uses every moment of every day to save sinners from an eternity apart from Him. However, you are not to use the excuse that si...

In the Jewish religious system during the time of Jesus, there was an ever present threat of legalism. Legalism could be described as an overabundantly strict adherence to only rules. The religious leaders of the time were extremely legalistic to the Jewish laws to the extreme. They forgot what the purpose of the laws was... And in today's message, Pastor Terry will remind you that Jesus came and...

In today's message, Pastor Terry will remind you that Christians are called to become more and more like Christ with each day. Part of that growth is mercy. Because of our innate human sin nature, we have all fallen short of the glory of Christ. We deserved to be punished for the sins that we committed... But God showed us mercy. We're called to do the same to others. Most people's natural inclina...

Do you struggle with your faith because it lacks feeling, emotion, or signs of existence? In his message today, Pastor Terry will encourage you to believe in Jesus based on the promises he has made. Our faith shouldn't be dependent upon the miracles we experience in our life. Such faith is shallow and lacking. Instead learn to trust God because of who He is and what His word says. Once you take th...

When Jesus walked the earth there were a lot of people who followed him only wanting to see miracles. Even after seeing such miracles they still didn't believe Jesus was who he said he was. As Pastor Terry shares in today's message, a faith that is dependent upon signs and wonders is a superficial, shallow faith. What is your faith based upon? Your success, your bank account number, or is it somet...

Do you have purpose and meaning in your life? Or are you just living day by day, eating, working, and sleeping? In his message today, Pastor Terry shares that you've been given a task to complete, sharing Jesus' love with others! And the great part is you don't need to work in full-time ministry to complete this assignment. Whether you work with other people, behind a desk, or at home, you can sha...

Many people live their life surviving day to day, working so they can afford to eat, eating so they can go to work. These mundane tasks can lead to a pretty boring life. In his message today, Pastor Terry will share that you'll never experience life the way you were created to without knowing God. You were created to have a relationship with God, and in knowing God you can experience an elevated l...

It's easy to worship when things are going well, singing God's praises when your blessings are plentiful. But as Pastor Terry will remind you in today's message, it's equally important to share your adoration and affection during dark periods.  It's often during those times of worship in the darkness that God's love can bring in the light. He did just that for Paul and Silas when they were worship...

Have you considered how different worship looks to Christians? Some prefer organ and choir, other drums and guitar. So which one is right? Is there a better way to worship God? In Pastor Terry's message today, he defines what the word worship means. And this definition doesn't necessarily make the answer to our question any clearer. Worship means to direct adoration or affection towards God. So pi...

The truth is hard to hear, isn’t it? Becoming aware of your own shortcomings can make you feel like you want to defend yourself and offer an excuse for your actions… that might make you feel better for a time, but you still can’t avoid the truth. Pastor Terry teaches in the message today, that when you come to know Jesus, you’ll also come face to face with your own sin. Jesus isn’t looking for you...

Has your life been changed by coming to know Jesus as your Lord and Savior? Are you bursting at the seams to share Jesus with others? In the message today, Pastor Terry speaks about witnessing to those who don’t know Jesus. He’ll encourage you to seek the Holy Spirit’s leading and guidance. Jesus shows us how it’s done in the scripture today by His interaction with the woman at the well. He’s give...

In the message today, Pastor Terry will teach about the life of John the Baptist and how he magnified Jesus over himself. There was tension among the disciples over the fact that Jesus’ ministry was becoming more popular than John the Baptist. Comparison and competition can be extremely harmful to the church and within relationships. Pastor Terry will encourage you today to shift your focus from y...

It’s been said that comparison is the thief of joy. It’s true, you’ll be miserable if you allow jealousy and comparison to creep into your thoughts. Unfortunately, there can be a spirit of competition within the church and that’s exactly what Pastor Terry will be speaking about in the message today. Did you know the church in Jesus’ day even struggled with this as well? Pastor Terry will also expl...

It’s like eating vegetables. You know they’re good for you, but you’d rather indulge in all the sweets and things that won’t ultimately satisfy your appetite. You know what’s best for you, but you turn away from it because you don’t want to give up the junk food that has a grip on you. This is your life without God in it! Today, Pastor Terry explains how people reject God, not because they don’t u...

Getting something clean can take some work. When you have mud on something white, it almost seems impossible that it will come out, but with the right amount of elbow grease and cleaning fluid, it’s possible. Now think of your heart in need of being scrubbed on a washboard, thoroughly cleansing and removing any impurities. When it’s all said and done, you’re clean and feel like a new person. Today...

Do you happen to ever use a tent for camping? They fold up easily, but over years of use, they can start to fall apart. The wind whips around at night and although you’re out of the elements, you feel somewhat vulnerable. Today, Pastor Terry relates your body to a tent, being a temporary temple that represents Christ. But the wear and tear on your body will cause it to deteriorate and not be as st...

If you’re doing laundry and something is stained with dirt, you’re going to do everything in your ability to get the stain out, right? It might take some brute effort, but you’ll do your best to get it clean. Well when it comes to the things of God, do you react the same way? Today, Pastor Terry tells about how Jesus had a righteous anger about the temple of God being defiled by people. They were...
