​​Reading the Bible is a lot like studying a map. You don’t spread out a map just to admire the lines, symbols, or colors; you use it to reach a destination. Pastor Terry will share with you today how, in the same way, Scripture isn’t meant to be the finish line of your faith. It’s designed to guide you somewhere far deeper: into truly knowing God Himself. Every chapter points toward His character...

The Gospels paint a clear picture: Jesus didn’t just teach with authority; He backed His words with undeniable power. Every miracle was a signpost pointing to His identity as the Son of God. Today, Pastor Terry will tell you that when Jesus opened blind eyes, calmed storms, multiplied bread, or raised the dead, these weren’t random acts of kindness. They were intentional revelations, moments when...

One day, every one of us will stand before Jesus, our Judge. That moment—looking into the eyes of the One who formed us, loved us, and gave His life for us—will be unlike anything we can imagine. Pastor Terry will share with you today that for those who have accepted Him now, it won’t be a moment of dread, but of overwhelming joy. You’ll see the One you’ve trusted yet never fully seen. Just be sur...

What would happen if God paused His work for even a moment? We rarely consider it, but we live every day assuming the world will keep spinning, the seasons will keep turning, and the universe will hold together. Yet all of that happens because God never stops working. Today, Pastor Terry will illustrate how God’s sustaining power never drifts, never weakens, never takes a day off. While you sleep,...

Have you ever volunteered at a soup kitchen or a homeless shelter? Have you ever donated to an organization that helps those who are in need? Have you ever brought someone into your home just to help them sort things out for a while? Those are all great things to do! But as Pastor Terry shares today, Christian mercy is more than just feeding and clothing people; Christian mercy is about giving peo...

Let’s be honest. I think that most of us judge people based on their appearance, just a little. Have you ever picked which line to go in at the grocery store based on how friendly the cashier looked? Or have you ever rushed your kids into the car a little faster because of an unkempt individual in the parking lot? In his message today, Pastor Terry shares with you that Jesus loves even the most un...

We don’t always understand everything that happens in our lives. But one thing we can know is that there are some lessons we learn by going through things that we never would have chosen to go through. How often do we choose to stay in the shallow end when it comes to our faith? Today, in his message, Pastor Terry encourages you to trust God even when you can’t see what He’s doing in your life. Th...

Every time there’s a new trend, suddenly all of our heads turn. A politician said something controversial, a pop star got engaged, or some tech billionaire invested in a new company. We’re constantly being drawn in by the latest exciting new thing. In his message today, Pastor Terry teaches you that Jesus isn’t some passing trend. Jesus isn’t some sort of unpredictable celebrity constantly seeking...

Have you ever taken a small place in a bigger project? It’s like working on an assembly line. You might be standing there fastening bolts all day, but isn't there a certain pride that you get to share in when you see a completed car come off that line at the end? In Pastor Terry’s message today, he wants to encourage you to keep sharing the gospel with the world. Even if you never see anyone saved...

Life can be a real grind. Day in and day out doing the - same - old - thing - over and over again. No matter what your status in life, whether you’re scraping to get by or if you have everything you could ever want, life can seem monotonous. In his message today, Pastor Terry shares with you that when life seems meaningless, it’s because you’re only living in a single dimension. You weren’t create...

What makes a good artist great? It’s the emotion they put into their art. You can have a technically proficient artist, but I think what most of us are looking for in their art is something that we can connect with on a deeper level. What most of us want in art is to feel the heart of its creator. In today's message, Pastor Terry wants you to know that God wants you to worship Him in spirit - with...

For many Christians, worship is a ritual that’s performed on a regular basis, quite often on Sunday mornings. For some, they may take it a step further and consider worship as something they can do as long as there's some way to play music. In his message today, Pastor Terry guides you through what Jesus had to say about true worship. Did you know that worship is not just about music, tradition, o...

We can’t let ourselves be intimidated when it comes to sharing Jesus. Oftentimes, the battle takes place just in our own heads and hearts. We make up excuses and worry that we won’t be clear enough or we won’t have a good response to their questions or arguments. As Pastor Terry will encourage us in today’s message, all we need to do is share what Jesus has done in our lives. You don’t have to hav...

We’re really good at coming up with excuses for why not to share the Gospel. It will feel awkward... It just hasn’t come up naturally... We’re afraid we’ll offend them and they’ll feel like we’re shoving Jesus down their throats. If you have life-saving knowledge about some kind of medicine that could keep someone you care about from dying, you’d share it, wouldn’t you? As Pastor Terry reminds us...

Your mission as a follower of Jesus is to point others towards Him. It’s not about your talents, gifts, or abilities. If someone builds a ministry that can’t function without them, they’re missing the point of their calling. We’re called to share the Gospel and make disciples. As Pastor Terry will remind us in today’s message, Jesus needs to be the central focus of our lives and ministries. It sho...

We should always be excited to see a move of the Holy Spirit. It’s important to test the spirit, and if the work we see doesn’t align with Scripture, we can know it isn’t the Holy Spirit. But if it does, we should be excited and provide support and encouragement in whatever way we can. As Pastor Terry will point out in today’s message, sometimes the established leadership may want to remain in con...

Today’s passage contains an account of a conversation that’s foundational to our doctrine as the Church of Jesus Christ. It’s one of a number of places in the Gospels where Jesus makes it clear who He is and what His role is in bringing salvation to mankind. We have to look to Him. Just as the people of Israel looked to the bronze snake with faith for healing, we must look to Jesus, believing that...

What a glorious work of redemption! We’re born into sin and death. While a young child may be unaware of this fallen nature, it only grows as we age, and it becomes a conscious decision to serve self and reject God’s laws and His design for our lives. When we accept that we’re fallen, we realize we need to be rescued. As Pastor Terry will remind us in today’s message, Jesus offers us His hand, and...

We are temples for the Holy Spirit. When you accept Jesus as your Savior, you become a dwelling place for His Spirit, and your life should reflect that. Are you allowing greed, lust, anger, or any other destructive attitudes and habits to dishonor your temple? Today, Pastor Terry will remind us that we need to use our temporary bodies, referred to as “tents” in Scripture, for the glory of our God....

Jesus’ anger over the money changers and business operations in His Father’s Temple wasn’t just a flat rejection of exchanging goods or services in the Lord’s house. It was the fact that these opportunists were extorting the poor and those who had traveled from far away, putting them in a situation where they had no choice but to purchase their goods and then charging an exorbitant amount to line...

In what ways are you experiencing growth as you walk with Jesus? When you spend time with Him, with your heart open and humble, ready to receive the truth He provides through His Word and His Holy Spirit, you can’t leave unchanged. If you’re not spending that kind of time with Him, you’re missing out on an incredible gift. As Pastor Terry will explain in today’s message, no matter how long you’ve...

Can you imagine if your child had such an incredibly special role to play in the fate of your nation or even all of humanity? If you had a Superman or a Superwoman for a child, you’d be anxious for them to proudly demonstrate what they could do to the world. As Pastor Terry will point out in today’s message, we see a bit of that in Mary in John chapter two. She knew that Jesus was no ordinary pers...

Times of prayer and studying God’s Word are not obligations or requirements for salvation. The only requirement for salvation is to place your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. But, as Pastor Terry will point out in today’s message, prayer and meditation on the Word of God are essential to your spiritual health. If you’re in a relationship with God, you need time with Him, allowing Hi...

While you were still a sinner, Christ died for you. His love has never been conditional. He loved us before we chose Him, and His love continues even when we fall into sin again. As Pastor Terry will encourage us in today’s message, we don’t have to get ourselves right or fix our problems in order to come to Christ. He died on the cross, rose again, and sent His Holy Spirit to redeem us and begin...

If you believe that you were born into sin, on a path of destruction leading to eternal suffering apart from your Creator, but that Jesus chose to come and die in your place, offering eternal life and wholeness, that’s not something to be ashamed of. That’s not just good news, it’s incredible, life-giving news. Today, Pastor Terry will encourage us to be bold, like John the Baptist, as we proclaim...
