Moses was eighty years old when God called him out of the desert to rescue his people from the Egyptians. He had spent forty years of his life in the wilderness and it was during those years that he was humbled by the Lord and completely reliant on Him. Anyone who is used greatly by God, first must realize their own brokenness and need for the Lord. In today’s message with Pastor Terry, we will he...

When we take our eyes off Christ, we start to get distracted by things in this world. It’s easy to be swayed by immediate satisfaction but God has instructed us otherwise. In today’s message with Pastor Terry, we learn about the life of Moses. Growing up in the palace, he had access to all the worldly pleasures available to him, but he chose to live with the Hebrews instead. He chose a life of har...

It’s challenging to understand God’s plan for our lives when we are right in the midst of pain and suffering. When we are in the trenches and it doesn’t seem like there is any way out, that is exactly when our faith in Jesus becomes more solidified. Just as the Hebrews were in bondage and they longed for the promised land, we too long for that place of peace in the Lord. In today’s message with Pa...

In today’s message, Pastor Terry discusses the prophecies Jacob gave to each of his sons before his death. Joseph was the only son to receive the double portion blessing and yet he was also the one with the most setbacks in life. Despite all the hardships Joseph faced, he trusted in God and His perfect timing. Are you going through a difficult situation in your life? Understand that this life was...

In today’s message with Pastor Terry, we will learn about God’s bigger plan for Joseph. His life seems to be a series of disappointments as he experiences one setback after another. It must have seemed like a never-ending nightmare, but God was preparing him and setting him up to be in a position to save Israel. Even when it seems impossible for good to come out of your circumstances, God is still...

In today’s message with Pastor Terry, we hear about the life of Joseph. He grew up in a dysfunctional family where he was mistreated terribly by his brothers. They were jealous of the special attention given to him by their father and subsequently sold him into slavery. Joseph’s life was filled with what seemed to be setbacks, but through those hardships, the Lord was refining and shaping him into...

Jacob wrestled all night with God and was finally at the point of submission, he humbly gave in and realized that God was the only one who could bring peace in his life. Are you wrestling with God about something? Pastor Terry reminds us in today’s message that some questions in our lives may go unanswered and that’s okay. Seek God in those moments, turn over your fear and doubts to God and he wil...

In today’s message with Pastor Terry, we hear about Jacob’s wrestling match with God. An angel (presumed to be God) wrestled with Jacob through the night until he finally submitted with a spirit of humility. Jacob had to reach the end of his rope to realize that he could no longer do it in his own strength. Have you wrestled with God? Like Jacob, we have to come to a place where we are completed h...

In today’s message with Pastor Terry, we learn about the consequences of Jacob’s deception. The Bible provides us with clear instructions to live by…. when life isn’t going the way we think it should, it’s tempting to take matters into our own hands. We see over and over again in the Bible that His plans are always better. We can trust that He will provide for our needs and will give us strength a...

Have you taken God’s gift for granted? In today’s message with Pastor Terry, we hear about Esau’s lack of appreciation for his birthright. He took it for granted and gave it all away in order to satisfy a craving. We can all learn from Esau’s story, that there are damaging consequences when we give into instant gratification. The lure of worldly things may be appealing but we should remember that...

In today’s message with Pastor Terry, we learn how the story of Abraham points us to Christ. Abraham was instructed to sacrifice his only son Isaac and out of faith, he obeyed. He was about to make the sacrifice when God stopped him and provided an offering. Just as God provided an offering for Abraham, He also provided a sacrifice for us. Unlike Abraham, God’s son Jesus would not be spared, He wa...

In today’s message with Pastor Terry, we hear how Abraham’s faith was tested by God when he was instructed to sacrifice his only son. Abraham obeyed God and just as he was about to sacrifice Isaac, the Lord stopped him and provided the offering. Too often we see material things and even our loved ones as a higher priority than God, He deserves to be first in our lives. We see throughout scripture...

In today’s message with Pastor Terry, we hear about a poor choice on Abram and Sarah’s part, they were tired of waiting on God and decided to take matters into their own hands. This mistake led to brokeness in their family and for generations to come. Our world is still broken today, but we now have hope in Jesus Christ. No matter how hard we try to fix ourselves, the only true healing comes from...

As difficult and painful waiting can be, our hope is not simply that God would give us the answer we want, but that He would shape us through the process. We think we know what is best for our lives but the Lord knows better and His timing is perfect. As Pastor Terry discusses in today’s message, we can all learn from the story of Abram and Sarah, that God’s timing is ALWAYS better than our own. H...

We no longer have the need for human priests to bridge the gap between man and God. There is nothing we can do in our own strength to get right with God. The Lord has intervened and sent our Savior Jesus as an atonement for our sins. We can go directly to God through Jesus Christ. In today’s message with Pastor Terry, we learn about the Bible’s first priest Melchizedek, he was a mysterious but imp...

Too often we allow materialism of this world to distract us from what is most important. In today’s message with Pastor Terry we hear about the mysterious King Melchizedek, whose name literally means King of Righteousness and peace. He was the first priest seen in the Bible and is viewed as a precursor and representation of Jesus Christ. The King of Sodom on the other hand is a representation of t...

Imagine what that was like for Abraham to hear that all nations would be blessed through him. Abraham and Sarah were not able to conceive, but they had faith in God and obeyed Him still. Abraham is an example of grace, he was a sinner just like the rest of us and through his act of faith, God was able to use Abraham and would eventually bring our Savior Jesus into the world through his genealogy....

Is God calling you to step out in faith? We see time after time in scripture where God calls someone to step out of their comfort zone and obey God’s leading. Today in Pastor Terry’s message, we will discuss the story of Abraham and Sarah and how they both stepped out in faith, despite their doubts… they trusted that the Lord knew better than them and He would take care of them along the way. He w...

There are many lessons we can learn from the story of Babel, not only does it explain how different cultures and languages came to be, but it is also a lesson in humility, a reminder to remain dependent upon God. When we choose to lean on our own understanding, we act as if we are wiser and better than God, this can be detrimental. In today’s message with Pastor Terry, we are reminded to trust in...

It’s easy to get caught up in the things of this world like tirelessly working toward “success” and making a name for ourselves. In the eyes of God, those things are nothing. In today’s message with Pastor Terry, we learn that the Tower of Babel was built out of selfish ambition and God judged the people for it. He scattered them around the world and caused them to speak in different languages. Al...

In today’s message with Pastor Terry, we hear about the rebellion of Noah’s descendants as they began to build the Tower of Babel. In an effort to get on the same level as God, they made their own stairway, attempting to reach heaven. God judged them and separated the unified group into many different groups and languages. Pastor Terry reminds us that the same prideful nature of Noah’s descendants...

In today’s message, Pastor Terry discusses the great Flood and how it impacted the rest of history. The people in Noah’s day were so violent and evil, there was no changing them. God instructed Noah to build the ark and begin anew with his family, leaving the corrupt people behind. Imagine the amount of faith this required on Noah’s part, to trust God’s plan for their future. We can apply the stor...

Imagine the amount of faith it took for Noah to follow God when no one else believed. Many people in our world today do not believe that God is a God of judgement, this is not true. Satan deceives us into thinking that we will not be held accountable for our actions when Jesus returns. Pastor Terry discusses in today’s message that, just as Noah obeyed God’s instructions to build the Ark, we too s...
