While many of us are prone to look at God's institutions for His chosen people Israel as burdensome, they were actually designed to bless and prosper them. As a culture that's largely focused on booking ourselves for more than what we have time for, it's no wonder we'd view something as simple as the Sabbath as an inconvenience. However, as Pastor Terry will teach you in his message today, God's n...

With many of the nations basing the value of their currency on debt, the idea of resetting or forgiving debts on a national level would strike many as completely absurd. However, in ancient Israel, God actually had such a system established for His people, who unfortunately never implemented it in their society. In today's message, Pastor Terry will teach you about the Jubilee system that was desi...

Whether you’re feeling pressure to succeed at work, or to keep your kids busy with extra-curricular activities or simply keeping up with everyone else … Whatever it is that’s consuming most of your time, remember that those moments are fleeting. In today’s message, Pas...

As described in Leviticus, God’s people were to follow scheduled feasts throughout the year, dedicated to the Lord. As God’s people dedicated the first of their harvest to God, it also served as a pledge to the Lord in anticipation of a greater harvest to come. Although you are not required to participate in these types of ceremonial feasts now days, it would benefit you greatly to seek and unders...

Pastor Terry teaches today about the laws of Moses, specifically the laws regarding sexual immorality. Adultery and homosexuality have become accepted by the majority of society today, it can be challenging to avoid a temptation which is slowly becoming a norm. Scripture is clear, that we should flee from sexual immorality, but God is faithful and He will provide strength in the midst of temptatio...

Are you overcome by the sin in your life? You are separated from God due to sin, everyone is… In today’s message, Pastor Terry teaches about leprosy in the Old Testament and how it is symbolic of sin. If someone was found to have leprosy, they were forced to live in isolation and identify themselves as unclean, they would become an outcast of society. In order to be accepted back into their commun...

In today’s message, Pastor Terry teaches about the Old Testament priests, Nadab and Abihu who were consumed by fire while performing their priestly duties. We are not completely sure what caused the priests to catch on fire, could have been drunkenness, carelessness or pride. We do know they did something wrong and the consequence of their actions was death. God has instructed us to be humble serv...

In today’s message, Pastor Terry teaches about the Old Testament priests, Nadab and Abihu who were consumed by fire while performing their priestly duties. They were presumed to be intoxicated at the time, which serves as a reminder for us to stay away from drunkenness. God doesn’t want the hearts and minds of His servants to be clouded with alcohol while serving Him… or at any time for that matte...

Relationships can be messy. Jesus instructed us in the sermon on the Mount to reconcile our relationships with others. It’s important that the members of the body of Christ walk in unity and love one another. There will always be differences among us but we should do our best to make peace with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Just as God’s people made daily sacrificial offerings in the Old Tes...

In today’s message, Pastor Terry continues his in-depth explanation of the various types of sacrificial offerings, as described in Leviticus. As Christians now days, we of course are not required to bring sacrificial offerings, but there are still truths in Old Testament sacrifices that we can apply to our lives today. We should offer thanksgiving to the Lord for providing for us daily, we should...

The most important task of the priesthood was to make sacrificial offerings to the Lord. In today’s message, Pastor Terry will discuss in detail, the types of offerings as described in Leviticus. Just as the priests made a regular burnt offering of surrender and dedication, so we too should surrender our lives to the Lord daily, give thanks and fellowship with one another. The book of Leviticus se...

Pastor Terry discusses in today’s message the story of the golden calf and how the Israelites so quickly forgot about the one true God as they waited. Out of impatience and rebellion, they created a golden calf to worship in place of the Lord. Moses mediated between God and the people and He pleaded for the Lord to judge him instead of the Israelites. Despite Moses’ plea, he was still only human a...

The Old Testament system of sacrifice was never meant to last, it was meant to drive God’s people to something better. No matter how clean or well-dressed the priests presented themselves, they were still human and unworthy of God’s presence. Thankfully the New Testament is different. In today’s message with Pastor Terry, we will learn about the Old Testament Priesthood and how the sacrifices made...

In today’s message with Pastor Terry, we will learn all about what went into the Priesthood at the Tabernacle. The Priests were instructed by God to prepare themselves and wear specific robes to make them worthy of entering God’s presence in the Tabernacle. Then they were to make sacrifices to atone for the sins of God’s people. In today’s message, Pastor Terry will explain the meaning behind the...

The Tabernacle was God’s dwelling place among His people, it signified the presence of God in Israel. It was so sacred that only the highest priest was allowed inside. In time, God chose to be with His people in a new way, He sent his son Jesus to dwell among His people. How amazing is it that we have access to God through Jesus. Pastor Terry teaches us in today’s message about the symbolic meanin...

Today’s message with Pastor Terry is packed with insight regarding the Ten Commandments. The first four commandments address our relationship with God and the last six commandments address our relationship with those around us. Pastor Terry teaches us today that if we really focus our attention on the first four commandments, then the last six will fall into place. Our relationship with the Lord s...

Have you ever been hung up by what Christ may or may not have meant when He said “those who look back from the plow aren't fit for The Kingdom of God?” For many of us, this passage can stir confusion as to whether or not there's an element of works when it comes to our salvation. In today's message, Pastor Terry will clear up any confusion you might have regarding this passage as he reflects on it...

Many of us have had our fair share of setting goals, both large and small, only to find that we lose sight of them and eventually abandon them altogether. It's at these moments that we can either make excuses, feel hopeless, or get back on our feet and try again with a fresh start. In today's message, Pastor Terry will encourage you to set one of the most valuable goals that we as believers can pu...

We would be hard pressed to find someone who wasn't legitimately in need of something. Whether it's financially, emotionally, physically or otherwise, each and every one of us finds ourselves in need at various times. However, there's one need that we all share in common that surpasses all others. Salvation. In today's message, Pastor Terry will encourage you to be mindful of this as you go about...

Perhaps one of the most unfortunate realities of Jesus' ministry is that there were countless people who sought Him simply to be healed. While there were definitely those who received His message, many were consumed by their desire for a fix to the here and now, rather than an eternal fix. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on how Jesus always placed the message before miracles, healing, or...

Unless we're in complete denial, each and every one of us are well aware that aside from Christ, no one is capable of observing the first commandment. However, just because we fail to whole heartedly love The Lord our God, doesn't mean we shouldn't focus on loving Him. In today's message, Pastor Terry will encourage to make it your goal to love God more than you did in the past, and to continually...

It's easy to take for granted the great gift that Jesus has given you. Pastor Terry challenges you today to fully grasp just exactly what it is that Jesus offers. The sinful nature in you cut you off from God. Your creator was no longer accessible and you were doomed to an eternity apart from Him. Something had to be done and God alone had the power to do it. He sent His son to bridge the gap. Jes...

It can be hard to remember this, but as a Christian you have all that you'll ever need. Pastor Terry reminds you today that Jesus is it. He's truly the only thing that you need in your life. Once you've fully embraced Him and His Will for you you'll find that moving forward in the direction that He sent you will bring fulfillment to all the desires that He's placed in you. Make no mistake it'll be...
