Have you ever missed something that was right in front of your face? How about when you're teaching a lesson to your child, and their focus is elsewhere? Today Pastor Terry begins a journey with you through the book of Acts where Jesus is encouraging men to keep their intentions and focus on what they can learn instead of sitting around waiting to be saved from the Roman empire that they lived under. Just as Jesus was a teacher to the disciples so is the Holy Spirit to us. God promises to help us and it comes through the Holy Spirit!

Who's right there in the middle of all your muck besides YOU? Jesus! Doesn't matter how mucky the muck is, He REALLY IS there with you! In today's message, Pastor Terry explains that when the disciples and others didn't put their faith in Jesus, they missed out...A LOT! Remember Peter? He always lived in fear, UNTIL he saw the presence of Jesus. His life was totally changed after he experienced God's power! Are you aware of God's companionship in your life? Are YOU ready to experience life like never before?

I'm going to name him...because it means... Any parent out there has probably had these thoughts or something similar. The importance of a name is what Pastor Terry begins to tell us today. The writer of Acts addresses all those who love God. Besides naming one person specifically, we're also reminded of the name Jesus. He sets a standard. In His words and actions. In what He teaches. AND it's endless. People, we learn from Acts that we are to continue sharing His love, caring for the sick, encouraging the weak.

In today's message, Pastor Terry will encourage you to keep the Bible as a guiding light in your life. While the Bible may be a book from many years ago and a different culture, its lessons are still completely invaluable to us today. When we run into issues with strangers, friends, or spouses, the Bible is full of wisdom that we can use in our lives... We can pray and ask God to give us the insight to read and learn from the Bible. We can pray for God to help us integrate what we learn into our daily lives.

In today's message, Pastor Terry will share with you about intentional prayer. Prayer is one of the ways that God has given us to communicate with Him. We can talk to Him and listen to Him just like we would a friend, and through that, there is power. Through prayer to God, we can ask for anything in His name. We can ask for healing for loved ones, we can ask for help in difficult situations, and we can pray for those in leadership. Prayer is not just something that we do, prayer is something that enacts change.

God has a purpose for each and every life. No life on earth is an accident, God allowed for the circumstances of every life for a reason because He has a plan for each of His creations. As some of us begin to advance in age, questions about the beginning of life with Jesus become a more dominant thought... And in today's message, Pastor Terry will remind you that God will keep you here as long as He still has work for you to do. When your service for the kingdom is done, He'll take you to be with Him forever.

In today's message, Pastor Terry will share with you about glorifying God in all that you do. Some people will live their lives in service of themselves. They'll work to make their name well known and make themselves happy with the things of the world... But happiness in life from the world is fleeting. Long-lasting joy only comes from the Lord and serving Him. When we wake up each morning and ask the Lord how we can best glorify His name and honor Him, we're living into His plan for our lives.

In today's message, Pastor Terry will share with you about eternity and the sacrifices made so that we might be able to enter into it. Since the fall of humanity in the garden of Eden, sin has been a part of the narrative. Our sin places us at odds with God... But God sent His son Jesus to be the perfect and final sacrifice for all sin so that we might be saved for eternity. This gift of eternity with Christ is freely given to all who will accept it... But many will sacrifice eternity for a few moments of earthly pleasure.

In today's message, Pastor Terry will encourage you to always find thankfulness in every area of your life. In this fallen world, there will always be some kind of struggle, trial, or temptation in life. But no matter what kind of heartbreak or storm you're going through, thankfulness can always be found. Thankfulness is a choice that must be made each and every day. The Lord has blessed each and every one of us differently and immensely. Take some time today to thank God for one of His many blessings.
