Often, we lazily think of Heaven, as just a land full of contentment. We don’t allow our minds to fully meditate on the Holiness, that Heaven will be. Today, Pastor Terry tells us of when Paul shared with others, that he had seen Heaven. Paul had kept his visit to Heaven a secret for 14 years, but to defend his Apostleship, he recounted the story. As we try to understand why Paul would keep such a...

Today Pastor Terry continues the story, in which Jesus interacts with two disciples, days after the crucifixion. The men, not knowing who he his, converse with him all day. Jesus was there for them in their time of discouragement, and he helped them through it. Upon reaching their destination, the men had the option to invite Christ into their homes, or to leave him on the road. Jesus makes himsel...

The greatest weapon the enemy has against Christians is discouragement. If a Christian becomes paralyzed by discouragement, then they will be rendered useless. As such, it is important to control our emotions, and seek out God in times of struggle. Today, Pastor Terry tells us the story, in which Jesus talks to disciples who are distraught over the crucifixion. Through their discussion, we find an...

Finishing his sermon on Revelation 5, Pastor Terry tells us of what is to come. Through the vision of John, we see that Christ is the only being that is worthy enough to save us and that when the fate of mankind is up, Christ is the sacrificial lamb for us all. He is the creator of all and he will also be the redeemer of all. Pastor Terry explains to us, that existence in Heaven is inevitable to t...

Heaven is real. The Bible is clear in telling us this. That being said though, it’s easy to get confused, as to what the Bible tells us of heaven, versus what people simply wish for heaven to be like. Today, Pastor Terry shows us how the story of Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration, gives hints as to what we can expect in heaven. The things that Peter, John, and James saw on that mountain, inspi...

God does not play favorites. God does, however, reward those who pursue him more than others. Today, Pastor Terry tells us the story of Jesus on a mountain with Peter, John, and James. While there, Moses and Elijah appeared in glorious splendor, Jesus was seen as his radiant self, and the voice of God was heard. Peter, John, and James faithfully pursued Christ throughout there lives, and as such w...

Sometimes, allowing Christ into our lives means giving up other things. Perhaps we make our money in an ungodly manner, or have habits that do not line up with what God would ask of us. Today, Pastor Terry tells us the story, in which Jesus exorcised demons from a man. The demons left the man, and went into pigs that then jumped off cliffs to their deaths. When the townspeople heard of this, they...

Sometimes we may come across someone who we would consider unredeemable. Whether it’s because of the way they act, or something they’ve done. It’s sometimes easiest, to look at that person and declare them as unredeemable evil. Today, Pastor Terry shares a story in which Jesus saves a man who was possessed by demons. The man had been deemed impossible to save, by all those who knew of him, but Jes...

Throughout the history of mankind, there are countless stories of people who, “have it all”, but still remain unsatisfied with life. Even those whom have great wealth and great fame, can never rid their desire for more. Today, Pastor Terry shares with us a meeting between Jesus and a Samaritan woman. In their conversation, Christ offers water that will quench all thirst. If you have found life to...

One of the easiest traps we can fall into as Christians, is the trap of over resting. Though there’s nothing wrong with resting, it’s important to be aware of what our calling is, and to make sure that exhaustion, is not a reason to stop pursuing that which we are called to do. Today, Pastor Terry shows us a story, in which Christ himself went above and beyond, to have a conversation with a Samari...

Jesus allows us the opportunity to be born again. We can commit to him and thereby allow him into our hearts. When we allow Jesus in our hearts, it should cause an apparent change in the way we act in the world. Today, Pastor Terry continues his story, in which Nicodemus talks with Jesus. Despite Nicodemus’s great knowledge of religion and good character, he was missing something. Jesus makes it c...

Nicodemus was one of the most respected religious men of his time. He was a good man. He was an extremely devout Jew who was seeking out the truth of God. Today, Pastor Terry visits a night in which Nicodemus met to talk with Jesus. That night Jesus told Nicodemus that unless born again, he would surely not see the kingdom of heaven. This was a bold statement to a man whom had so rigorously adhere...

To understand the character of God the best thing we can do is understand the character of Jesus. Today, Pastor Terry continues to help us understand just how exceptional Jesus is. Jesus should not be viewed as merely a historic figure. Instead, as Christians, it is crucial for us to understand that Jesus is in fact the mirror that lets us see God. Through him we are not only saved but given an ex...

Rarely do we actually concentrate on Jesus and what he is. He’s not just a historical figure. He was God. On earth, as a human being. Jesus, the creator of all things actually came to earth and lived among us,… as one of us. He experienced human things such as hunger and thirst, but he was God. Today, Pastor Terry continues his series of “God Experiences” by taking a look at the most important God...

The greatness of God is something which we cannot grasp, but should try to. His greatness can be seen everywhere in our world. The sky, the trees, all things are created by him, and are testaments to his Glory. Finishing a story of Ezekial, Pastor Terry examines an Angel sighting and explains to us the incredible reality that God makes himself available to us. God has shown us Angels, given us his...

In the Bible we are told stories, in which people see Angels. This tells us that Angels are real. Also, in the Bible we are given separate accounts of Angels that look different from one another. This tells us there are different kinds of Angels. Today, Pastor Terry tells us of the Angels Ezekial saw. Scholars believe these were Cheribum Angels. These type of Angels are believed to be dedicated to...

We very often fail to emphasize how incredible our God is. He is the Holiest of all things. If we were to come before his throne, we would instantly realize our sinfulness and unworthiness. Like Isaiah, we would come undone. Today, Pastor Terry points out, that despite our unworthiness, God offers grace. He offers to take away our sins through his son Jesus Christ. After, God purged Isaiahs sins h...

While in prayer, Isaiah was taken up to see the throne room of heaven. There he saw God, and 6 Seraphin proclaiming his glory. Isaiah was completely overwhelmed. In the presence of such holiness he became hyper aware of his sinfulness and knew he was unworthy. Today, Pastor Terry helps us try to understand just how Holy, God actually is. Throughout the Bible, angels and prophets proclaimed God as...

Our culture seems more and more to associate youth with recklessness and irresponsibility. The thing we need to remember as Christians is that God used many teenagers for great things throughout the Bible, and as such, we also, should be expecting great things from our youth. Today, Pastor Terry gives insight into Samuel and how his mother dedicated him to the Lord from a very young age. It’s thro...

Samuel had been in service to the Priesthood his whole life yet, when God called out his name he thought it was Eli. In fact, It wasn’t until Eli told him that it must be God calling for him, that he understood what was going on. Today, Pastor Terry explains to us how this proves that Christianity is not about knowing religion. If you were raised in a church, or if your parents are Christian, it d...
