The life of a believer should look different, but ultimately it’s the state of their heart that matters. There are those who put on a form of righteousness that may even surpass that of believers, but their hearts are far from God. There are also genuine believers who struggle with sinful attitudes, habits and addictions where their life doesn’t accurately reflect what Christ did in their heart. B...

What a joy it is to have your sins completely gone forever! In today's message from Pastor Terry, he teaches that when you place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, all your sins are washed away. This doesn't mean that the Lord has forgotten your sins, but it means that He no longer holds them against you. If you are living in regret of past sins, be encouraged that the Lord is not. When you hav...

Just as Jesus expressed through the parable of the sower, different people are like different types of soil. Some hear the Gospel and it takes a shallow root, but before it can take firm root, their faith dries up or is choked out by the weeds of false doctrine and the flesh. While this scenario can play out in different forms, as Pastor Terry explains in today’s message, this means that not every...

Are you a contributor in the Kingdom of God or are you simply a consumer? Just as a child should be expected to start helping with chores and contributing to their home and eventually society, Christians need to grow in maturity as they seek Christ. This will look different for all of us, but as Pastor Terry challenges us in today’s message, you need to move beyond that stage in your spiritual dev...

Babies and toddlers are very cute. They can get away with just about anything because of this. They aren’t expected to know any better. But, as Pastor Terry asks us to imagine in today’s message, what if you have an adult doing the same behaviors? It’d be considered a severe developmental delay. Their parents love them just the same, but it’s not how things were meant to be. In the same way your s...

As a Christian, it hurts when you blow it, doesn’t it? You feel like you’ve let God down, and Satan isn’t making things any easier. He tells you that God’s not interested in you any more, that you might as well throw in the towel. Accusations, guilt and shame become your companions. Pastor Terry is teaching from the book of Hebrews. The believers at that time were being persecuted heavily and were...

It’s always nice to be able to talk to a human when you have troubles. Being able to look someone else in the eyes, to give you a hug when needed, brings much comfort. The Jews had a system of priests to offer sacrifices for sin for the people. As Pastor Terry will be teaching, the Book of Hebrews will tell you that merely having a human priest and yearly sin offerings isn’t enough to permanently...

Throughout the centuries, the Bible has changed the lives of countless millions of people. Not just salvation, but comfort and guidance often have been received as people read the words of scripture. Despite the attempts of men to restrict or eliminate access to this book, it has continued on long after those “restrictors” have passed from the scene. Pastor Terry is teaching about the effectivenes...

The Bible is an amazing book. It’s actually sixty-six separate books, written by forty different authors, over fifteen hundred years, on three continents. It speaks of many different societies, covering every topic that humans might be concerned with. Its ability to relate to people of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds and situations is remarkable. Pastor Terry is teaching about the divine origi...

Many of us would be quick to agree that life can easily become overwhelming at times and leave us feeling distraught and burdened. The unfortunate reality is that our natural inclination is to do our best and to bear the brunt of it as much as we possibly can. But what if there was another option? In today's message, Pastor Terry will teach you about the liberation of genuinely placing your faith...

Can you recall a time in your life before coming to Christ where you just felt exhausted, fed up, or at wits' end? In all actuality, this isn't a feeling that's necessarily exclusive to those who are outside of Christ, but rather anyone who continues to rely oneself, rather than God. In today's message, Pastor Terry will teach you about the rest that God promises to all those who put their trust a...

Each and every one of us struggles with what is perhaps one of the most simple of commands found in the Bible, “have faith.” Depending on our current situation, background, or past traumatic experiences, having faith can be quite the challenge if we we're to be perfectly honest. However, as Pastor Terry will teach you in his message today, our faith is no less important and is crucial to a healthy...

Perhaps one of the more common misconceptions among believers in the Church is that the Promised Land is a depiction or metaphor of Heaven. Not only is this false, it also makes Heaven out to be a place that isn't pure, but rather riddled with some of the things we read about in Scripture such as war, sin, and death. In today's message, Pastor Terry will clear any misconceptions that you might hav...

The Old Testament does a remarkable job of illustrating how God has great and wonderful plans for His people. However, Scripture also clearly shows that it's up to the individual and the people as a whole just how much of those promises and blessings are actually received. In today's message, Pastor Terry will teach you that it's entirely possible for us as believers to miss out on so much of what...

As Pastor Terry continues his teaching series through the Gospel of Hebrews, he'll be reminding you that you have access to the throne room of God because of the sacrifice of Jesus. There's no need to go to a priest or go through a middle man in order to speak to God anymore, because Jesus is now our Great High Priest. Jesus is the only mediator between God and man, because He was both fully God a...

If your family, friends, and co-workers were asked to describe you, would faithful be one of your attributes? Today, Pastor Terry will be challenging you to be faithful in whatever God has entrusted to you. The Bible say's that the criteria to be a deacon and serve tables in the early church was that they had to be faithful and have a good reputation in the Church and outside the church. As a Chri...

One thing is absolutely certain regarding all of humanity, and it's that everyone will eventually die. As Pastor Terry continues his teaching series through the Book of Hebrews, he'll be reminding you that you no longer have to fear death if you're a follower of Jesus. The Bible say's that the grave no longer has victory over you and that death has lost it's sting. Those that don't have the hope o...

As Pastor Terry begins his teaching today, he'll be encouraging you to remember how Jesus is the captain of your ship, and that he's the Author of your life. No matter what circumstance comes your way, the Lord in His sovereignty knows exactly how to guide you and how to get you to the destination He's planned for you. All you have to do is obey His Word, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and He'l...

Who you are right now isn't who you'll be forever. In today's message, Pastor Terry will share that one day you'll be transformed into a new and better you. This transformation begins the moment you accept Jesus grace to cover all of your sins. It grows as you read the Word, spend time in communication with your Savior, and get to know Him and His ways. During this process Jesus may lead you throu...

You are important. Let that sink in for a moment! God LOVES you and deeply cares about you. He created you intentionally and with a purpose to fulfill. You're unique, you're valued, and you are a contributing member of God's Kingdom. In today's message Pastor Terry will ask you to embrace these truths and allow them to be the core of who you are. You're God's beloved child, His precious jewel and...

If you’ve been a follower of Christ for any length of time you’ll probably notice as you reflect on your relationship with Jesus a lessening of intensity in your affection towards Him. Maybe you’re not as forthcoming to others about your faith or your beliefs. Maybe you let some moral stances kind of…slide…that you wouldn’t have done a few years ago. Pastor Terry is teaching about the all too natu...

When people become proficient at something or maybe just have done the same thing for a long time there’s a tendency to think that you know all there is to know about that item or issue. The same thing happens as a Christian – you’ve gone to church for a few years, heard a lot of sermons and maybe cracked the Bible once in a while besides on Christmas and Easter. You’ve got it all figured out, rig...

Angels are part of God's creation, here to serve Him. They protect, warn, thwart evil plans, and minister to you. It's good to pray to the Lord asking that He send His angels to protect you and your family. However, as Pastor Terry teaches today, it is Jesus we are to worship and adore. No one, not even powerful angels, are equal with Jesus. Jesus was there at the beginning of creation, he is the...

Do you want to live a life full of joy and happiness? In his message today, Pastor Terry shares that you should love righteousness and hate wickedness. This is the example Jesus demonstrated though his life. When you do what is right, you will experience happiness and joy. The world encourages you to live a wicked life, proclaiming you will have fun. This is a lie! True joy comes from obedience to...

Other religions will tell you what you need to DO to get to God. Do good works, do this act of worship, don't do that. The truth is that everything has already been done. Christ has done it ALL for us. In Pastor Terry's message today, he teaches that we have the best in Jesus. Christ is the exact image of God, the supreme prophet, and the owner of all things. Don't listen to others who say Jesus i...
