Today, Pastor Terry will be challenging us to always keep the Word of God as one of the most essential aspects of our lives. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and forget to take that essential time out of your day to get alone with the Lord and into His Word. When we hear about this account of the man who falls asleep during Paul's Bible study and dies. What's most fascin...

One of the worst things a Christian can do in ministering to others, is to speak truth without love, and to say your a believer in Jesus but get in over zealous arguments becoming distasteful and disrespectful. Today, Pastor Terry will be encouraging us to preach the Gospel in love just as the Apostle Paul did. Paul was genuinely moved with compassion and love when he approached others and preache...

As Pastor Terry continues his teaching series through the Book of Acts, he'll be reminding us how there is no way we can operate in the power of God by leaning on our own strength and understanding. The sons of Sceva tried to cast out demons but they wern't doing it in the power of Jesus so they got chased and were humiliated! The disciples were able to cast out demons because God commissioned the...

When God sent the Apostle Paul to Asia it was during a time of great demonic oppression and sin. The people living in Asia were steeped in sin, and desperately needed to hear the Gospel. Today, Pastor Terry will be challenging us to be bold in our preaching of the Gospel because the world has grown increasingly worse and more sinful than ever before! Paul fought against the kingdom of darkness by...

There's a lot of controversy surrounding baptism in the Church. Today, Pastor Terry will be explaining to us what the Bible say's about water Baptism. The moment you get saved, you are filled with the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit lives within you, the Bible say's that you become a new creation and a glorious transformation takes place in your life. This is actually the only proof of ones salv...

All good Christian role models point to Jesus instead of taking glory for themselves. Today, Pastor Terry will be reminding us that even John the Baptist pointed to Jesus and said that he must decrease so that the Lord may increase. This is a very important spiritual principal we must all learn to grow more mature in. When we put to death our flesh, and our own wants, desires, and our pride, God c...

No one can satisfy like Jesus can. Spending time in the quietness of prayer and supplication is absolutely vital in the Christian walk. And although there can be good sources or people that we can go to help bare our burdens, we should always first and foremost go to Christ with our concerns and problems. And as we seek His face first on the matter, we are to be willing to hear and to shift if nee...

Everyone has the wind knocked out of them once in a while, even the apostle Paul! And as Paul settles into the city of Corinth, God records for us this season of discouragement that Paul went through to give us great practical wisdom. He promises that as we rely on His Word to guide us through challenges, He will meet us there. In today's message, Pastor Terry reminds us that God knows just what w...

God gave Paul an opportunity to share with the intellectual elite of Athens which began in such a natural way: He walked through their streets, spoke to them in their market places, and engaged them in person. In today's message, Pastor Terry warns us of the danger of becoming so familiar with Christian society that we avoid anyone who isn't Christian. As ambassadors in this world for Christ, we c...

As Paul wanders through the streets of Athens and notices how entrenched they are in idolatry, his heart is broken and stirred to share the gospel with them. Does your heart break for the lost and dying world around us? Maybe you haven't taken a second just to look around lately. In today's message, Pastor Terry will encourage us to see as God sees, and to care about what God cares about. We live...

God's word is about Jesus, and there are so many blessings awaiting us if we are willing to hear what He has to say to us throughout Scripture. But all throughout His ministry, Jesus emphasized the responsibility that comes with hearing God's word. It's not enough for us just to hear. Are we trusting in faith the word that we've heard? Are we ready and willing to obey his message? In today's teach...

We expect a lot from preachers and teachers, and we should. To share God's heart and message with others is a great privilege, and those called to it have a responsibility to answer to the God whose heart they represent. We too are also responsible to answer for what we do with the message we receive. In today's message, Pastor Terry will show us how Paul's brief ministry to the Thessalonians deta...

In Acts 16, God interrupted Paul and his travelling companions as they sought to be faithful to expand God's kingdom . If God wanted to interrupt your life today, would you let Him? Sometimes our days are so planned out that God's greater, supernatural plans are never given a chance to interrupt! But, as they soon discovered, when God interrupts our plans, it's only because He wants to do somethin...

We are so privileged to have such ready access to the gospel that we rarely take the time to meditate upon and study how we received it. As we study the book of Acts, we find that not only is the gospel itself miraculous, but the circumstances that directed the spread of the gospel were equally supernatural. God directed His people and His message where He wanted it to go, and God wants to direct...

Have you ever fallen into the trap of going throughout your day actually thinking that the main reason God still has you on this Earth, is to live for youself, and your own desires? Pastor Terry will be exhorting us to live our lives with our focus on eternity, and to deliberately go out of our way to minister to the lost. Paul said that he became all things to all men that he might win some to Ch...

As Pastor Terry continues his teaching series through the Book of Acts, he'll be guiding us through a proper biblical perspective regarding conflict in the Church. In our text today, we'll hear how Paul and Barnabas had a dissagreement and they both parted ways and went to different regions, preaching the gospel. God can even use certain conflict and work it out for good. This particular incident...

As Pastor Terry continues his teaching series through the Book of Acts, he'll be encouraging us to stop trying to earn God's favor by performing good works. We cannot earn salvation by our own good deeds, and we also cannot earn God's favor and love by performing good works as well. One of the dangers that has crept into the Church is the doctrine of the sacrifice of Jesus plus something else. Sal...

Today, Pastor Terry will be teaching us about the differences that take place in someones life when they experience grace, and also when people experience legalism. When we read about the religious leaders during the day's of Jesus, we see how rigid and miserable they were. They lacked love and forgiveness because they didn't truly understand and receive the love of God and His forgiveness. Those...

Are you one of those Christians that try to blend in with everyone else because you fear rejection? Or are you one of those Christians that God is using because your courageous for Him and stand up for Him? As Pastor Terry continues his teaching series through the Book of Acts, he'll be challenging us to no longer be whimpy Christians, and to stand up for righteousness and to preach the Gospel to...

As Pastor Terry continues his teaching series through the Book of Acts, he'll be challenging us to to keep in mind what being a Christian is really about. When we examine the life of the Apostle Paul, we see exactly how our walk should be, and what are focus needs to be. Our focus needs to be on preaching the gospel to the lost. Paul made it a habit of going into the synagogues ministering the gos...

Did you know that you're an aroma? You're either an aroma of life to people that are receptive to Jesus, or an aroma of death to those that are rejecting the Lord. Today, Pastor Terry will be challenging us to be bold as we preach the gospel to those around us. We can't please everyone, and we certainly shouldn't seek to please man rather than be pleasing to God. The Apostle Paul was either taking...

We have many practical actions that are foundational to our spiritual growth. Today, Pastor Terry will be focusing on the importance for us to be an active, participating member of a local church. Some of the main pillars that keep us growing more mature in our faith, is obviously prayer, as well as reading the Word of God. Sharing our faith with others is another, and going to Church is also just...

As Pastor Terry continues his teaching series through the Book of Acts, he'll be explaining how this early church was meeting together, and ministering to the Lord. When we think of this term, we automatically think of how God needs to minister to us. What this is actually saying, is that God is blessed and pleased by us when we meet together as a Body, and seek His face and will. When we sing to...

In today's message, Pastor Terry teaches that we should wake up each morning and aim for Heaven. That is, we don't need to get distracted or burdened by our worries and troubles. Instead, our priority should be to live each day to glorify God and move deeper into His presence. Pastor Terry encourages us to let God direct our paths: whether it be in our jobs, finances, marriages, families or church...

This life is riddled with troubles and it's enough to make any of us fall into despair. But Pastor Terry reminds us in today's message that Jesus told us plainly not to worry. We're often tempted to wonder about the future and be anxious for what it holds, but Jesus says that we'll be taken care of. Today has enough troubles of its own; we don't need to add to the problems. So, we need to fix our...
