Truth for Today with Terry Fant

In 1 Samuel 8, Israel asks for a king, choosing what looks good instead of trusting God’s rule. This message reminds us that choosing sight over faith always leads toward bondage, while trusting God leads to true freedom. Even in our desires and decisions, God calls us to surrender and let Him be our King.

In this message, we, look at the calling of Gideon in Judges 6 and were reminded that God is mighty to transform. Even when fear, failure, and doubt surround us, God sees the potential of a life fully surrendered to Him. When we stop leaning on ourselves and start trusting the Lord, He makes us strong in His power and purpose.

What is the greatest accomplishment of all time? In this message, we explore the finished work of Jesus Christ: His crucifixion, resurrection, and the eternal impact it has for all people. Through the cross, Jesus accomplished what no one else could: He qualified the unqualified, delivered us from darkness, transferred us into His kingdom, and redeemed us through His blood. The greatest accomplish...

In this episode of Truth for Today, we’re reminded that Satan is not equal to God and never has been. What looked like victory for the enemy at the cross actually became his greatest defeat. Through Scripture, we see how God used even the schemes of Satan to accomplish redemption, disarm the powers of darkness, and secure victory for believers. If you’re facing spiritual battles today, this messag...

In this Holy Week episode, we walk through the powerful moment of the Last Supper in John 13, where Jesus humbles Himself to wash His disciples’ feet. Through this act, we see a clear picture of Christlike love—one that serves, surrenders, and values others above self. This message challenges us to lay down pride, live a “listening lifestyle” before God, and love even those who are difficult to lo...

It’s possible to look right on the outside and still be far from God on the inside. In this episode, we learn that Jesus challenges empty religion and calls us to authentic faith. This message explores what it truly means to be transformed, not just in appearance, but at the heart level, and how faith in Jesus gives us the power to overcome.

As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the crowd celebrates, but they misunderstand who He truly is. In this powerful message from John 12, we’re reminded that Jesus didn’t come to meet expectations. He came to secure salvation. He is the King who brings peace, conquers death, and offers life through His own sacrifice. Will you recognize Him for who He truly is?

What if something as simple as an invitation could change someone’s life forever? In this message, we explore the incredible ripple effect of a single invitation—starting with Jesus saying “come and see,” leading to Andrew inviting Peter, and ultimately resulting in thousands coming to faith. Whether it’s inviting someone to church, sharing your story, or simply saying “come with me,” God can use...

What does it really take to walk in victory? In Joshua 1, God gives a clear roadmap for His people—not just for survival, but for victory. The same principles still apply today. Victory doesn’t come from our strength alone, but from following God fully. This message unpacks the essential truths we need to live the life God has called us to—one marked by strength, courage, obedience, and His presen...

What does it mean to truly return to God—and what happens when you do? In Deuteronomy 30, we see a powerful picture of both God’s sovereign grace and our responsibility to respond. God promises restoration to those who repent—not just outwardly, but with a genuine heart that seeks Him. No matter how far you’ve gone, God invites you back to a place of peace, joy, and purpose. But there’s a choice t...

God’s people have always been called to live differently—set apart, fully His, and faithful in a culture that pulls us the other way. This episode is a powerful reminder that God did not choose us because of our strength or goodness, but simply because He loves us and has redeemed us through His grace. If you’ve been struggling with compromise, identity, or feeling unworthy of being used by God, t...

This sermon reminds us that God’s love is not based on our strength, worthiness, or accomplishments, but on His faithfulness, grace, and covenant love. You’ll be encouraged to see that the same God who delivered and redeemed His people still calls His people to live differently today. If you’ve ever struggled to understand why God would love you, this message is a strong reminder: you are treasure...

In this message, we see both the seriousness of sin and the mercy of God. When the Israelites were bitten by fiery serpents, God provided one way of rescue — and that rescue points directly to Jesus Christ, who was lifted up so that all who look to Him in faith might be saved. This sermon is a clear and compelling reminder that salvation is not found in human effort, religion, or self-improvement,...

What happens when we stop trusting God and start leaning on our own understanding? Israel’s rebellion in the wilderness reminds us that unbelief does not leave us neutral—it shapes our decisions, impacts our future, and can even affect those who come behind us. Whether you are struggling with doubt, carrying the weight of past failures, or longing to lead your family in faith, this message points...

How often do we let fear, doubt, and what we see in front of us speak louder than what God has already said? In this message from Numbers 13–14, we’re reminded that unbelief can keep us wandering when God is calling us to trust Him and move forward in faith. The giants were not Israel’s greatest problem—unbelief was. This sermon challenges us to stop giving more weight to the opposition than to th...

Grace is more than the moment God saves us. In this message, Terry Fant shows how God’s grace not only brings salvation, but also trains, corrects, and redirects us when we begin to drift from His will.

What does it really mean to “deconstruct” your faith? This episode challenges you to anchor your faith not in emotions or culture, but in something unchanging.

In this episode, we explore what Jesus actually said about the end times in Matthew 24 and why believers are called to live with readiness, urgency, and peace instead of fear. Your life has a measure. How will you spend the time you have?

Where does unbelief lead? In Numbers 14, the people of Israel stand at the edge of the Promised Land. God had promised them victory, yet they chose to trust their own understanding instead of trusting Him. That single decision led them into forty years of wandering in the wilderness. In this message, we explore the destination of unbelief. Unbelief doesn’t simply mean a lack of faith—it often mean...

How much is enough? In Numbers 11, the people of Israel had the presence of God, His provision, and His daily care—yet they still complained and craved more. Their desire for something different led them into frustration, distorted their memories, and caused them to forget the goodness of God already in their midst.   In this message, we learn that unchecked desires can lead us into spiritual melt...
