You must also put into action the lessons that you learn from it. As you learn of Je...

Get a study companion Bible and begin to teach yourself. Look deeply into God's...

Life can be strenuous and overwhelming at times, and at others, it seems to creep by with no real purpose at all. Pastor Terry talks to us today about how God is always working in your life, whether you feel Him or not. Nothing happens that’s outside His master plan. If you believe in God, then He’s promised to com-plete the work He’s started in you, even before you were born. We don’t know what t...

Sometimes life can feel pretty pointless; work, family, friends, sleep, eat…it’s all so menial. But Today, Pastor Terry talks about how we all are a puzzle piece in God’s grand plan. When you smile at a stranger, you may not realize that you’re the only person who’s been kind to them all week. God uses people to accomplish a greater goal and even though we don’t see the big picture, it’s our job t...

How often do you plan something, and unforeseen events get in the way? You can’t plan for everything. Today, Pastor Terry reminds us how God is in control always; there’s nothing that could surprise Him or catch Him off guard. If you think it’s coincidence that you receive encouragement precisely when you need it, you’re wrong. He knows exactly how much stress and anxiety you can handle; and thoug...

It’s easy to get excited about something and the next day, the enthusiasm disappears. When feelings are so fickle, how can you stay passionate about any one thing? Pastor Terry talks to us today about what we need to do to remain on fire for God. It’s so easy to fall in the devil’s trap of contentment or even despair, but God desires us to be fanatical for Him. You get encouraged by people who lov...

Do you ever feel like God calls you to do things that are out of your league? Maybe you’re scared or maybe you think you don’t have the skillset to complete it. Today, Pastor Terry talks about how God stirs us up when we get too comfortable. But He will never call you to do something and then leave you alone with it; He will always be beside you when you’re doing His work. Maybe He has called you...

Speaking of God’s judgement is difficult. In fact, many people simply won’t speak of it. Or if they do, they sugar coat the message. Today Pastor Terry will teach about Daniel’s courage to speak about the righteous judgement of God coming on the Babylonians. It’s important to always remember that God does judge sin and wickedness. And it’s crucial that people know that. But along with that message...

On a night in 539 BC a great, lavish, heathen party took place. There was a great amount of drinking and immorality and wickedness that took place. The collected sacred things of God’s temple, captured in the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem were used to accomplish this sinfulness. Pastor Terry will exhort you today to view yourself as God’s sacred vessel and seek to live a life of holiness and ri...

Sometimes it feels much easier and safer to hide in your Christian bubble than risk being in the world. Daniel was forced into instruction of a foreign, idolatrous culture. Yet, he purposed in his heart to stand firm in his faith, while being in the culture. Today, Pastor Terry will challenge you to know the culture and world around you so that you can understand where people are coming from and k...

Daniel faced such a difficult situation when he was captured by the Babylonian King. He could’ve given up on God who let his people be captured. He could’ve given up hope because he was now in the service of a pagan king. Instead, as Pastor Terry will explain today, he took a stand. He held fast to his faith while he learned the culture, served the king, and boldly spoke the truth of God to the pa...

The last good king of Judah, King Josiah, received a kingdom more evil than the pagan nations God had already wiped out. He sought the Lord because of the depravity around him. He returned to proper worship. He rediscovered God’s word and in complete humility grieved the great sin of God’s people. He implored his nation to return to the Lord. Today, Pastor Terry will encourage you to, like Josiah,...

Teenagers today are facing a daunting amount of temptation, trials and depravity in the world. They have little authority and accountability, and are pummeled with doctrine completely against God’s word. It’s easy to write the generation off as hopeless. But, today, Pastor Terry will implore you to not give up on the younger generation. God has used teens mightily for his kingdom frequently in his...

The first thing King Hezekiah did to repair the nation of Judah was to seek God and repair it spiritually. It was what mattered the most. But this, as Pastor Terry will point out today, awakened the enemy. The king of Assyria came against Judah. He had a huge army and many advantages. However, God blessed the faithfulness and prayers of King Hezekiah. He had strength to overpower any army and cut...

King Hezekiah took over Judah after his father had destroyed it in every way including spiritually. Hezekiah is known as the reformer. Today Pastor Terry will describe how he began an immediate spiritual revival. He repaired the temple, reinstituted worship and then began other improvements to the nation. With all his heart, he wanted the nation to worship God again and then succeed as a nation. A...

Success. Though this is what everyone strives for, it can be for a believer one of the most dangerous places to be. It is all too easy to forget the God who called you, equipped and gifted you and got you to where you are successful. Today Pastor Terry will encourage you to joyfully and obediently follow God’s calls. And as he blesses that obedience, be cautious to stay humble and stay dependent!...

King Uzziah was the one of the greatest kings to ever reign in Judah. He did what was right in God’s eyes and he sought the Lord in all he did. And God greatly prospered and blessed this man and his kingdom. However, as Pastor Terry will explain today, he was marvelously helped by God, UNTIL his pride got the best of him. His heart led him to destruction. In the blindness of his pride, he broke Go...

God knows when a nation has abandoned Him. The nation of Israel forgot His goodness and turned to idolatry or empty religious ritual. Eventually he would judge this. He had to before it spread even farther. But, as Pastor Terry will emphasize today, God never judges and punishes a nation or an individual for that matter, without giving lots of chances to repent. In His graciousness, not wanting an...

The pattern of the nation of Israel was to turn to other nations and other powers for help instead of turning to GOD as they should have. And as Pastor Terry will point out today, this nation faced brutal destruction and captivity and ceased being a nation because of it. God judged Israel primarily because they forgot the Lord’s goodness to them as a nation. As you forget God, selfishness and prid...

False gods are nothing. Their power is non-existent. Yet the people of Israel were giving their passion, attention and devotion to something that was worthless. Today Pastor Terry will encourage you to give yourself wholly to God who alone is all powerful. He is with you and He is for you. He alone can defeat all false idols and their empty promises. You are called to choose God, to stand for trut...

The enemy of your soul has begun a spiritual battle in this world. He roars and intimidates. He lies and tricks your soul. The northern kingdom of Israel was utterly corrupt, wicked and idolatrous. And Elijah the prophet was brave and bold and faithful to confront the evil nation. Today, Pastor Terry will encourage you to stand for the truth like Elijah. Though the enemy will call you wicked and y...

It’s easy to find people in the world today believing in a religion of convenience. One made up to best suit them. People pick and choose parts of Christian belief and ignore the rest as insignificant. Today, Pastor Terry will clearly explain the true gospel. There is 1 true God, 1 faith, 1 church and 1 way to Salvation. Regardless of the sincerity of belief in false religion, it is still false. O...

In great pride, the newly self-appointed King of the northern tribe of Israel decided to rebel against God’s strict laws regarding worship, sacrifice and feasts. In effect, he created his own religion, from his own heart. It was driven by fear and pride to protect his power. You’ll discover today with Pastor Terry how greatly displeased God was at this religion that had nothing to do with Him. It...

Humans have incredible difficulty staying together because all humans are sinners. They bolt at conflict instead of handling situations in a way that glorifies God and promotes unity. Today Pastor Terry will explain the split of the kingdom of Israel in the days of the kings. This flawed, sinful people destroyed God’s united kingdom by their pride and fear. This split weakened both nations and led...

As Pastor Terry continues his teaching series on King Solomon's Temple, he'll be explaining why it's so contentious that there is a mosque on top of the Jewish temple mount. It's no coincidence that the Bible prophecies that the Antichrist will make a peace deal between the Muslim world and Israel and rebuild the temple, because this is exactly the main contention these groups of people have at th...
