In today’s message, Pastor Terry studies an incredibly powerful word that is related to salvation – reconciliation. Reconciliation is always used in a positive sense in the New Testament. To be reconciled is to remove that which is separating a relationship. In our salvation, God delivers us, forgives us, and removes the obstacle of sin that keeps us far from God. We once were far from God but He...

In today’s message, Pastor Terry invites us to explore an essential aspect of our Christian walk. Being a follower of Jesus Christ means we are in unity with Christ and therefore have fellowship with God. However, we fall short in a couple of ways. In our sinfulness, we are separated from God and vastly different from His holiness, and we understand so little of God. What hope do we have if we are...

In today’s message, Pastor Terry continues a study on the meaning of reconciliation found in the book of Romans.

One of the greatest lies told by the devil, is that man isn't that bad, and that if we live our lives with more good deeds that outweigh the bad ones, then we will go to Heaven.
