In the Gospel of Matthew chapter ten we read that we're not to fear man who can do nothing to the soul, but to fear God who can harm both body and soul. Whether we're afraid of mocking and ridicule or we're in an extremely hostile environment, the last thing we should fear as believers is what man can do to us. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us the dangers of allowing fear to hinder our...

Due to the ever increasing tension of political correctness in our society, it can be easy to feel intimidated when it comes to expressing one's views. No matter what those views might be, lately it seems as though we're moments away from the next social outrage. As believers in Christ, it's important that we're not discouraged from sharing our faith with others. In today's message, Pastor Terry r...

Due to our sinful fallen nature, there isn't a single act of righteousness that we could do to add to the finished work of The Cross. Unfortunately, no matter how clear the Bible is regarding this finished work, there are still those who preach a works based salvation, deceiving many. In today's message, Pastor Terry unpacks the depth and significance of Jesus' victory over sin and death in Jerusa...

Whenever we read the Gospel accounts of the crucifixion of Jesus, it's probably safe to say that the last thing we do is think back on the Old Testament. However, when it comes to the crucifixion and the plagues on Egypt in Exodus, we come across an interesting parallel regarding judgement. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on the parallel of the plague of darkness and the three hours of d...

Perhaps one of the most tragic aspects of the crucifixion account is none other than the attitude and mockery of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Little did they realize the irony of their mockery that if Jesus would indeed remove Himself from the Cross, not one person could be saved from their sin. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on the implications of their request that Jesus save Himself...

Crucifixion is perhaps one of the most brutal, gruesome, and horrendous forms of execution that's been developed throughout all of man's history. While we as believers are more than likely to become uncomfortable when we hear about what crucifixion entails, it's important we understand what our Lord suffered. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us about the horrific details behind the crucifi...

Many people are under the impression that in order to follow Jesus one would have to become one of those weird religious people. However, in the Gospel accounts, we actually read that it's because the Pharisees and Sadducees were so religious that they actually denied their Messiah. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us that perhaps one of the most dangerous forms of deception there is is no...

Perhaps one of the most interesting interactions with Jesus that we have recorded in all four gospels is none other than with Pontius Pilate. Not only did his wife have a vision regarding The Son of God's innocence, but the gospels make it very clear that Pilate was convinced of His innocence as well. So why did Pilate end up condemning Him to death? In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on wh...

Perhaps one of the biggest threats to our Christian walk is none other than self confidence and complacency. Whether we think it's been a while since we've had a major slip up with sin or otherwise, the Bible gives us very stern warnings regarding those who become self confident. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on the dangers of self confidence in light of Peter's biggest failure as a di...

Whenever we read the Gospel accounts of some of the disciples' actions many of us scratch our heads in confusion over how they could act in such a way. When it comes to Peter's denial of Jesus, there's probably a fair amount of us who think there's no way we would do such a thing. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on the tragedy of Peter denying Jesus, even though he had full confidence th...

Each and every one of us has had our fair share of experiences in which we simply say to ourselves “this isn't fair.” While many of us will indeed continue to experience things in life that aren't fair, it's important that we remember that mankind is in a fallen state and that unfairness is a reality. In today's message, Pastor Terry reminds us that while it might seem overwhelming at times, injus...

Perhaps there was a time in your life that you showed unmerited compassion to someone only to receive disdain or abuse in return. Whether it was someone in need, heartbroken, or in distress, nothing can be more painful than to receive a negative response from those we genuinely cared for. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on the countless offenses against Jesus, the last person on Earth to...

Many of us are all too familiar with the countless religions and false teachings that promote a universal message of salvation to all. Not only is this an insult against The One true King and the work of The Cross, but it also contradicts Jesus' words “no one comes to The Father but by Me.” In today's message, Pastor Terry emphasizes the importance of this doctrinal truth, that there are no other...

If we were to be told ahead of time that we were going to suffer the most excruciating death known to man, we'd definitely be distressed to say the least. While crucifixion is indeed one of the most terrifying things we can think of, many of us tend to view the Cross as the sole source of Jesus' distress in Gethsemane. In today's message, Pastor Terry helps us to better understand just what it was...

While many of us have a natural inclination to go one extreme or the other, balance is a crucial element that has a wide variety of application. Whether it's dieting, our emotions, or even our own political views, we often do more damage than good by going one way or the other. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us about the importance of maintaining a healthy balance of prayer and our own s...

Many of us would agree that a certain level of confidence is necessary to have when it comes to a wide variety of things in life. From the work place, performing skillful tasks, or advocating for ourselves to get a higher career position, confidence is definitely a common factor. But what if there are areas where our confidence can be misplaced? In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us about th...

The Book of Jeremiah contains what are perhaps some of the most amazing prophecies in all of Scripture. From Israel's captivity to Babylon, Babylon's destruction, and even end times events, Jeremiah has been the subject of many books and commentaries. Perhaps one of the most amazing prophecies in Jeremiah is the proclamation of God's New Covenant with man. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects...

Whenever we read the Gospel accounts of the Passover meal in the upper room, many of us tend to overlook the significance and meaning of it. While we're probably all well aware of its ties to the Exodus and Israel's redemption, we often think of it more as the last supper, rather than the Passover. In today's message, Pastor Terry reminds us of the profound nature of the Passover meal and it's pro...

Whenever we read about an account that's tragic or emotional in nature it can be easy for us to overlook some of the details regarding the situation. In the case of the betrayal of Judas, there's probably not very many of us that recognize the opportunities Jesus gave him to repent of his sin. In today's message, Pastor Terry points us to the amazing examples of just how patient, loving, and merci...

The Bible tells us in Jeremiah that the heart is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things. Due to this unfortunate reality, we're just as likely to deceive ourselves as we are our neighbors, friends, or family. Perhaps one of the most common ways we deceive ourselves is in thinking we can get away with hypocrisy. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on the tragic case of Judas and hi...

Perhaps one of the biggest misconceptions regarding mankind and salvation is that each individual has his or her own path to get to Heaven. Whether it's a misinterpretation of Scripture, deliberately false teachings, or otherwise, mankind has received specific details on how to be saved. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us about the one and only path that's available for salvation which co...

Many of us would agree that if we were to build or construct something, detailed plans would not only be required, but much appreciated. While many people might think that Christianity is a mere profession of faith, the Bible actually contains detailed instructions on how we ought to live. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us how our God is a God of detail, precision, and order. In our stud...

Many of us have probably heard our fair share of sermons and teachings that emphasize the importance of loving God with everything we've got. However, it's not very often that we actually hear about the impact that this can have on our lives as believers when we successfully live it out. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us that the more we love Jesus in radical and extravagant ways, the wo...

Perhaps one of the biggest struggles for us as believers is trying to even come close to loving Jesus as much as we're loved by Him. If we were to think about our greatest friendship or relationship and reflect on the love we have for that person, we're still not even close to the love of God. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on one of the greatest gestures of love that Jesus received fro...

If we were to be perfectly honest, there's probably not very many of us who are thrilled when it comes to surprises or mystery. Whether it's the mystery itself, a lack of patience, or even anxiety, we're not always excited by it. When it comes to the return of Christ, we probably have several questions as to why God chose to keep this great day a secret. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us...
