Many of the prophesies in the Old Testament are so intriguing that we often fall into the trap of looking at them from a narrow perspective.

As Pastor Terry will teach you in his message today, some of the Prophecies as foretold by Micah actually address the Millennial Kingdom. In h...

Generally, we like to focus on the positive and kind qualities of God; the ones we can wrap our brains around and keep Him in our little boxes.

Those who put forth energy toward something in their life have purpose and meanin...

Amos was a man of no education, no fancy upbringing, and no notoriety surrounding him. But he was a man of great character and a hard worker.

In today’s message, Pastor Terry teaches us that the name Amos means “burden bearer.” What a fitt...

Most people view God as either a cruel and judging dictator, or else they interpret God as soft and all-loving. But it can be hard for people to reconcile that God is both loving and just.

Today, Pastor Terry will explain several passa...
