Countless scholars and historians have been keeping a close eye on world events in light of the signs given by Jesus regarding the end times. While the world has definitely had its fair share of earthquakes, wars, pestilence and famine, there hasn't been the frequency that we see today. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on the warning signs given by Jesus in contrast to the rate at which w...

One of the most interesting yet sobering events prophesied by Jesus is none other than His return and the events leading up to it. From feelings of awe, wonder, joy, and even fear, the idea of The Lord ruling and reigning for a thousand years on Earth is both exciting and terrifying. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us that while many of us look forward to this day, it's also the last chan...

Perhaps one of the most controversial topics of Bible study is none other than eschatology, or what's better known as the study of end times. From the rapture, the anti-christ, signs of the Heavens and more, countless books and teachings have been a product of this fascinating topic. In today's message, Pastor Terry addresses some of the most common questions regarding the prophecies that Christ s...

Just as with any routine in life, we can easily lose sight of the heart and purpose behind what was originally a meaningful and important act. When it comes to tithing and offerings, this can be especially true and can even end up being detrimental to our growth as disciples of Christ. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us how sacrificial giving plays a powerful role in keeping our prioritie...

It's rather remarkable how easy it is for us to deceive ourselves into thinking that God honors acts of righteousness that are vain in nature. Just as Jesus told His disciples, whenever we do acts of righteousness to receive glory from man, The Lord sees right through our selfishness. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us the importance of truly giving from a heart of humility and selflessne...

The concept of a sacrificial system for the sake of atonement is a rather archaic one that isn't easily understood by most of the western world. In fact, due to the ever increasing rise of moral relativism, most people find the concept of sin to be outdated and even harmful to the growth of society. In today's message, Pastor Mark teaches us that no matter what man might think of sin, a sacrifice...

Throughout the history of mankind, many have asked the age old question “who are we, why are we here, and where are we going.” Incredibly enough, God Himself chose to become a man and enter into His Creation to answer this question. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on what is perhaps the most important question of all, who do we think Jesus truly is? In our study, we learn about this cruc...

Many of us are probably rather intimidated by the command that says we're to love God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength. If we're to be perfectly honest, there probably isn't a day that goes by where we feel as though we've successfully lived out the most important commandment. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us that when we strive to live out this commandment daily, we're s...

Due to the numbering scheme of The Ten Commandments, we sometimes can't help but to think that certain commands are greater than others. For all the rest of the commandments found throughout Scripture, one can't help but to think the same thing and to wonder which is greatest of all. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on the response that Jesus gave to the Scribes and Pharisees regarding wh...

As many of us have probably experienced several times in our lives, the less we know about something the more susceptible we are to manipulation. Whether it's a salesman, a con artist, or even a false prophet or teacher, the best defense we have is information on the subject. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us about the most important information we can arm ourselves with as Christians, G...

Throughout mankind's history there have been countless theories and philosophies regarding life, death, and what takes place beyond the grave. Whether society realizes it or not, the belief that one holds regarding life and death plays a powerful role in the choices and actions of each person. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on this reality in light of what The Scriptures teach us about...

The Bible contains several accounts that heavily rely upon the reader's understanding of the historical context at the time of the events. In the case of Jesus being asked if He thought taxes were lawful, it can be fairly easy for us to miss the significance and cleverness of the question. In today's message, Pastor Terry helps us to gain a better understanding of this polarizing question that was...

At face value, the parable of the tenants found in Mark's Gospel can come across as a sort of low blow to the Scribes and Pharisees of Israel. However, when we take the time to carefully unpack the significance of this parable, we're sure to be rewarded for our diligence. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us about the doctrinal implications of this parable and how it ties the relationship b...

Perhaps one of the most profound parables that Jesus taught is none other than the parable of the tenants found in three of the four Gospels. While the surface value of the parable is great in and of itself, it also contains several theological and doctrinal lessons of value as well. In today's message, Pastor Terry unpacks the richness of this powerful parable and gives us a better understanding...

God's Word has been under attack ever since the beginning, all the way back to the Garden of Eden. Perhaps one of the more common ways that we see His Word attacked is by those who claim God's Word to be metaphorical or even legend. In today's message, Pastor Terry points us to the authority of Jesus as a means of quickly shutting down these claims that The Bible doesn't cover genuine accounts. In...

Many of us probably prefer to be straight to the point when it comes to interacting with other people. Whenever our interactions with others involve confrontation, we typically do our best to make sure that we're as precise and up front as possible. However, as many of us have experienced, not all people try to do likewise. In today's message, Pastor Mark reflects on the disingenuous nature of the...

Now matter how young or old we are in our walk with The Lord, each and every one of us has heard countless times about the importance of prayer. While many of us probably pray on a regular or routine basis, it doesn't necessarily mean that we're praying with full confidence and faith. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us the importance of having faith in our prayers and the impact it has wh...

The Bible contains several cultural references that we can easily miss if we're not careful to take the time and learn about the historical context. From different sayings, cultural norms, and even the proverbs of Jesus, there are several references that are tied closely to the culture at the time. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on a cultural reference that many of us have misinterprete...

Many of us are shaken up by Jesus' words in which He said to His disciples that those who are unfruitful are removed and tossed into the fire. While we've probably been taught countless times that this isn't about losing our salvation, we should be just as concerned about being used by The Lord. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us about the dangers of living a lackluster life when it comes...

The thought of anyone or anything having a constant view of our everyday lives is probably something that leaves many of us feeling uneasy. On the other hand, we can probably think of instances where we would've preferred there to be a witness to a social injustice or crime committed. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on the omniscient and omnipresent nature of Jesus who sees all and knows...

While many of us don't particularly like to wait for certain things, we often find ourselves excited when waiting for something with great anticipation. The last thing we could probably imagine ourselves doing once we've received what we were waiting for is to reject or destroy what it is we got. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on the tragedy of what would've been Israel's greatest day i...

One of the benefits of being students of God's Word is that we're far more likely to catch details of significance that we would otherwise miss. At first glance, many of us wouldn't think twice about Jesus riding in to Jerusalem on the back of a donkey if we weren't familiar with prophesy. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us about the prophetic significance of Jesus specifically riding in...

One of the most profound lines of the old hymn we're probably all familiar with, Amazing Grace, is none other than “I once was blind, but now I see.” Just as with physical sight and being blind or having a cover over our eyes, each and every one of us is spiritually blind without Christ. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on the account of blind Bartimaeus and the significance of its metaph...

Some of the miracles recorded in The Gospels have probably no doubt left us feeling as though they contradict the omniscience of God. If Jesus is indeed God, why would He even need to ask people what they desire to be healed of? While this is a perfectly valid question, context is everything. In today's message, Pastor Terry reflects on the response that Jesus gave to the blind man who cried out t...

Whenever we hear the word servant, many of us typically think of lower class jobs of the service industry such as food, janitorial, or otherwise. However, if we think about the word servant from a biblical perspective through the lens of Scripture, the possibilities of servitude are limitless. In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches us some great examples of how we can be servants of others no ma...
