Today Pastor Terry discusses the days of Noah and how we can relate thousands of years later. Noah was different from others in his society, he walked with the Lord and trusted in Him. The Lord spared his life along with his family due to their unwavering faith in God. Someday when we least expect it, Jesus will return…. we are warned that the end times will be similar to the dark days before the...

Pastor Terry discusses in today’s message that you don’t have to be burdened by the guilt and shame of your own sin. We are tempted on a daily basis by the enemy but we also have access to the greatest weapon against evil. God sacrificed his own son as an atonement for our sins, we don’t deserve this kind of Love but it is given freely. What an amazing gift! Some day when Christ comes again, He wi...

Before the fall of man, everything was perfect in the world. Adam and Eve were complete in God. As soon as they ate the forbidden fruit, they immediately experienced a separation from God as sin entered into the equation. Pastor Terry discusses in today’s message that every human being is born into this sinful nature, there is pain, suffering and brokenness in the world today… all because of this...

Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit despite God’s warnings about the consequences they would face. God created us with the ability to choose. He desires a loving relationship with us but the choice is ours to make. If we did not have the choice, it wouldn’t be a genuine love. Satan convinced Eve to question the truth about God, causing her to choose sin. Terry discusses in today’s message that Sa...

God originally created the marriage institution in perfect harmony with God and each other. Sin entered and everything drastically changed. There is now brokenness in the world and our relationships. Pastor Terry discusses in today’s message the best thing you can do for your marriage is to love God first. Before anything else, seek God through prayer and the scriptures. When both spouses are righ...

Men and women were designed by God with differences meant to compliment and strengthen one another. Where one is weak, the other is strong and vise versa. The marriage relationship is the foundational relationship for all other relationships, it is the first institution of God. Pastor Terry discusses in today’s message how this foundational relationship has been attacked by the enemy. Due to broke...

God created us in His own image. He blessed us with different personalities, with the capacity to love and feel emotions. He gave us the ability to choose and create. He created man-kind to be uniquely different from the rest of creation. Such complexity cannot be formed from tiny atoms millions of years ago, man-kind is not descendants of apes, as evolution suggests. You were created with a purpo...

We cannot fathom the vastness of God, it is too much for us to comprehend. Today as Pastor Terry discusses the creation story, we are reminded that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. It was empty and dark but God breathed life and light into His creation. Many believe that man-kind was formed by chance, out of tiny molecules, millions of years ago. The Bible teaches us this is...

Today Pastor Terry reminds us about the tough subject of Hell. This isn’t a pleasant lesson to listen to, but it is one that God has spoken much of in the Bible, and one of dire importance to understand. Pastor Terry wants you to know that when someone goes to Hell, they lose their chance to be in God’s presence any longer. On this earth, God is rooting for you and helping you overcome difficultie...

Today Pastor Terry teaches us about the punishment of an eternity in Hell, and how terribly horrific the conditions will be for those who refuse to know and honor God… but instead seek a life of wickedness and sinful ways. We’re approaching ever near to the day that Christ will return for His believers, in order to welcome them into Heaven. But that also means that the Day of Judgment is approachi...

Today Pastor Terry discusses salvation, and how it cannot be transferred, shared, borrowed, or bought. Salvation can only be received through your belief in Jesus, and your continued walk with Him through your life. That means that you can’t live for “me, me, me” and expect to win your salvation with the lottery, or gain it through a friend who has Jesus in their heart and life. No amount of money...

Today Pastor Terry warns us against waiting too long to call out to God and begin our walk with Him. There are moments in life where being “too late” can have some major consequences, but none are as severe as being too late to join the Lord’s family. Death is not picky and you cannot plan for it. Many times, it comes when people are least prepared or expecting. This means that you can be too late...

Today Pastor Terry wants you to consider if you’re being a faithful servant to Jesus with the time you’ve been given here on this earth. If you’ve asked the Lord into your heart, and you live your life for Him, you have an eternal home awaiting you in Heaven. Pastor Terry says that that’s one of God’s promises to you. But that doesn’t mean you should dilly dally around with the time you spend here...

Today Pastor Terry discusses the talents that each of us possesses, whether we’ve realized it yet or not. God put you on this earth for a reason and a purpose. You may feel like you don’t know enough about the bible to be of much use in the ministry of God. But you would be very wrong. You don’t have to be all-talented, a great public speaker, a guitar or piano player, or have memorized certain pa...

Today Pastor Terry wants to caution you against turning your faith and relationship with Christ, into a contract with Him. It can be all too easy to begin settling into a mindset of wanting God to bless you, but not wanting to make any efforts at blessing Him at all. You begin praying for your own desires, and perhaps even making promises if those desires are fulfilled. “Lord, if I read the bible...

Today Pastor Terry teaches us about the grace of God’s mighty kingdom, and how the earth’s kingdom is so very lacking in this area. Unfortunately, our world is filled with a sinful nature that’s bursting with desire and greed. We’re a culture becoming ever more self-centered and materialistic. Worried about me, myself, and I. Sometimes, even… to the point of forgetting others, and the grace we’ve...

Today Pastor Terry teaches us about forgiveness, and the harm we bring on ourselves when we hold onto our anger and hatred, rather than giving it up like we’re called to do. God doesn’t call us to forgive others so that they’ll feel better; He calls us to forgive others so that we’ll feel better. When you decide not to let go of your bitterness, because you can’t bring yourself to forgive someone...

Today Pastor Terry teaches us about a parable that looks into where forgiveness should be in our lives, as followers of Christ. Life is anything but easy, and there are countless individuals roaming the earth who seem to make efforts at harming us or our loved ones. Pastor Terry wants to remind you, today, of the Lord’s willingness to forgive you even when you’ve made mistakes or hurt others. If t...

Today Pastor Terry has a very important message for you. He wants you to know that Jesus LOVES you. Life has a way of beating us up and making us feel like we’re worthless and unwanted. But this is simply a lie meant to tear you down and eat your heart up with worry and fear. It isn’t from Jesus. So Pastor Terry wants you to pause today, and remember how much the Lord cares for you, so that you mi...

Today Pastor Terry discusses the importance of changing and growing in Christ, after you have accepted Him into your heart. Pastor Terry likens a person who claims to be a Christ-follower, yet has no changed behavior or actions in their life, to that of a superficial believer. You can pretend to know God, fake a relationship with Him on the outside, and even trick most of the world into believing...

The idea of the Church of Christ growing at an immense rate on a massive scale might look good at first glance, but history has shown otherwise. Just as with any government having it's strong potential for corruption and perversion, so too does Christianity, which in this case is referred to as christendom. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on the two-fold nature of the parables of the mus...

While it might be believable to the average person who doesn't know much about botany or basic gardening, the mustard seed isn't the smallest of seeds. Likewise, while yeast can definitely expand and permeate over time, it has a limit to its effect. So why are such things said in the infallible Word of God? In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on these two unique parables that Jesus gave His...

While many of us can easily get caught up on certain aspects of the parables, it's important that we don't miss the fundamental points that are being portrayed. Whether it's trying to identify false believers or how we're to deal with them, the parable of the wheat and tares has a much more valuable lesson. In today's message, Pastor Terry will teach you that as believers in Christ, we've been cal...

Many of us are rather quick to recognize whether or not someone is genuine in their claim of who and what they say they are as an individual. While some are more convincing than others, it doesn't take long before they expose themselves for what they really are. But how do we respond to these types of situations when we're certain? In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on Jesus' teaching regar...

As many times as we might read “seek first the Kingdom of God and all things will be added” many of us struggle to do so in our walk with The Lord. Just as with one person to the next, we all have our fair share of valid cares and concerns that require our attention and energy. However, as Pastor Terry will teach you in his message today, this is why it's all the more important that we regularly s...
