God wants you to rely on Him. Sometimes He places challenges in front of you that are impossible to conquer without Him. He wants there to be no doubt that He is present with you through everything. He also wants you to know that with Him everything is possible. Are you facing difficult circumstances in your life right now? Turn to God in prayer, seek wisdom through scripture, and take steps that...

As Christians, we should always be forward thinking. When you accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, you became a new creation. The old has gone, the new remains. God desires that you focus on sharing His gospel, leading people to a saving knowledge of Christ, and striving to live a life worthy of your calling. As Pastor Terry quotes in his message today, “God buries His workers, but His work go...

In today’s message, Pastor Terry discusses the life of Moses. Moses was so good with people. He showed patience and unconditional love. He is one of the people in the Bible whose life pointed to Jesus. Just as Moses delivered his people out of Egypt, Jesus would deliver all of mankind from their sin. Just as Moses led his people to the Promised Land, Jesus will lead you home to Heaven. Moses was a...

God knows you. He knows exactly what He has planned for your life. He knows exactly how many days you have on this earth. And He knows exactly how and when He’ll take you home to be with Him in Heaven. In today’s message, Pastor Terry encourages us with this truth. You are secure and safe in the Lord’s grasp. How reassuring and empowering! There is no need to fear anything in this world. Every ste...

God gave us the Bible as a tool to get to know Him better. The Old and the New Testaments are both relevant to us today. We can glean truth, learn from others’ mistakes, understand the character of God better, and realize our full potential when Jesus is our Savior. Throughout the Bible, we learn about Israel and how it is God’s chosen nation. However, as Pastor Terry points out in his message tod...

How do we know if a nation is under the blessing of God? Is there a way we can tell? Today, Pastor Terry discusses that Deuteronomy teaches us that we can know. It contains an extensive list of blessings bestowed upon a nation when it is under God’s blessing. It also contains a list of curses when a nation is not under God’s blessing. As a Christian, it is up to you to pray for your nation, vote f...

God’s Word is a gift to us. In today’s message, Pastor Terry encourages us that it is not meant to hang on a wall. It’s ok to wear t-shirts with verses on it or adorn your house with scripture art hanging in your bedroom. However, it becomes a problem when you get so comfortable with seeing verses around, but not really sinking them into your heart. You should be a vessel filled with God’s Word. Y...

God wants you to do is love Him with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Today, Pastor Terry encourages you to love the Lord with everything that is in you. Wake up every morning and determine that you will pour your whole self into loving God. If you do this, your life will have meaning and purpose. The Lord will lead you in the way He wants you to go. He will give you...

Jesus is your Lord and Savior. He came from heaven to earth to live a sinless life in order to die on the cross and save you from your sins. He rose again from the dead and conquered death once and for all. As Pastor Terry reminds you today, Jesus Christ is your provision. There is nothing you need to do or anything you even can do to earn salvation. It only takes belief in Jesus Christ and a conf...

Even as a Christian, you will face difficult and trying times in this life. It’s at these times that Satan will attack and try to get a foothold, telling his lies about how you had it so much better without Christ. He’ll trick you into thinking you were happier in the world. In today’s message, Pastor Terry retells how the Israelites had the same thoughts regarding their wilderness wandering. They...

People do a lot of crazy things when they are afraid. But as you will hear, you don’t need to live in fear because God watches out for his followers. In today’s edition of Summons, Pastor Terry continues in Exodus as he shares how Balak, king of Moab, was so afraid of the Israelites that he hired the false prophet Balaam to curse them. But God saw all of this and intervened, making Balaam bless th...

Some people will do anything for money, even unethical, illegal, or harmful things. This is the case with Balaam, a false prophet hired by Balak, king of Moab. As Pastor Terry explains in today’s teaching, Balak was afraid that the Israelites would come and wipe Moab out, so he hired Balaam, a false prophet known for really being able to curse others. Pastor Terry teaches that even though God spok...

Sometimes it might feel like what you do doesn’t really matter, that it only affects you. However, as you will see in today’s teaching, Pastor Terry reminds you that if you follow Christ, you are His ambassador. Whether you realize it or not, you represent God to the watching world. What you say and do shows those around you more about who God is and how having a relationship with Him makes a diff...

It seems that, for some people, acquiring more power and money are the primary goals in their lives, especially when it comes to careers. But, as Pastor Terry shares in today’s teaching, your view of spiritual leadership should be very different. You’ll learn that Moses, like everyone else, had a bad day. He blew up at the people he was leading and went against what God had asked him to do. Pastor...

It is God’s desire that you live in unity with others. Because of this, He considers division among His people to be a significant offense. On today’s edition of Summons, Pastor Terry addresses the issue of division by looking at the example of Korah, who led a group that rebelled against the leadership of Moses and Aaron. This rebellion spread quickly through the camp. Pastor Terry exhorts you to...

Do you every find it difficult to be content with the role you’ve been given? Do you sometimes wish you had more power or notoriety? As Pastor Terry teaches you in today’s message, when it comes to spiritual matters and ministry, God wants you to be content with the gifts and the roles you’ve been given. A group of Israelites led by Korah did not think that Moses and Aaron should be in charge and...

Everyone feels afraid at some point in their life. From heights to talking to someone new to moving away from family, you can be afraid of so many different things. On today’s edition of Summons, Pastor Terry teaches that it’s not that you have fears as much as it is how you respond to those fears that matters. When the Israelites were afraid to go into the Promised Land they chose to let their fe...

If you allow it, fear can rule your life, effecting your faith, relationships, and life choices. It’s interesting though, that the things you fear don’t always orginate with you. What you see and hear from others, including from the news or social media, can inspire your fear. As Pastor Terry shares in today’s teaching, the Israelites experienced this themselves. Most of the spies they sent to che...

When's the last time that you can recall having a moment of absolute clarity and peace in your life? For many of us, these moments in our lives typically involve an amazing sunset when all is well and the things of life are in order. But when's the last time you can recall having this peace in the midst of suffering or hardship? In today's message, Pastor Terry will teach you about the peace that...

Many of us have been guilty of having the “if only” attitude when it comes to falling into the trap of basing our happiness and joy off of circumstance. However, as both the Bible and our own experience have taught us time and time again, circumstantial happiness is a dangerous trap. In today's message, Pastor Terry will remind you that as a believer, true happiness and joy come from the pursuit o...

The Bible teaches us that our God is a God of order and peace, not one of disorder or confusion. While many of us are all too familiar with this verse, we might not always be on the same page regarding what order looks like within the confines of the Church. In today's message, Pastor Terry will teach you some practical ways in which order should be applied and practiced in our lives, both individ...

Did you know that by putting your faith and trust in Christ you've not only been made a new creation, but also a soldier in the battle against good and evil? While many of us might be dismissive of this claim, we're no less called to take a stance against principalities and powers that seek to hinder the Gospel. In today's message, Pastor Terry will teach you that as a believer, you've been brough...

Many of us can recall a time in our youth where we felt excited, accepted, and happy to have been picked to play on a sports team during recreation at school. Whether it's the fear of rejection, not being good enough or otherwise, many of us have longed for that feeling of acceptance, even we don't think we're worth it. In today's message, Pastor Terry encourages us to reflect on the personal natu...

How well of an explanation do you think you would be able give to someone who randomly asked you what holiness is, or what it means to be holy? Would you stumble on your words as you try to form a solid, concise thought, or are you rooted enough in God's Word to answer the question with ease? In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on what it means to be holy, as The Lord our God is holy. In his...

As often as we might be reminded by friends, pastors, and the Word of God Itself, we can still just as easily slip into legalism of many different calibers. Whether we think we need to earn God's approval, blessings, or otherwise, as soon as we think our works have anything to do with our salvation we're right where the enemy wants us. In today's message, Pastor Terry will remind you that God's gr...
