Have you ever seen a mother bear protect her cub? It’s one of the most terrifying things if you’re on the wrong end of it. The mom will do anything to protect her cub from danger. Today, Pastor Terry says that as believers, you must be active and run into darkness and share the hope of the Gospel with others. You can’t just sit on the sidelines; some people are in danger of being separated from God for eternity. Be active in sharing the Gospel, and who knows, you might change someone’s life.

We’ve all seen this: a team is losing by a lot, and it’s not just because the other teams better, it’s because they’re playing badly. In some scenarios, the losing team finds its mojo, and its star player comes in to save the day and redeem them from their poor game. In today’s message, Pastor Terry says you’re redeemed through Christ. You did nothing to deserve this, but God, who so richly loves you, sent His Son down to save you from eternal separation. All you have to do is choose to follow Him.

Can you imagine if a murderer were on trial and all the evidence pointed towards them being the murderer, but the judge looked and said, “You’re free!” I think we would all agree that would be outrageous! Today, Pastor Terry says there’s no way that we can save ourselves, because just like that murderer, we’re all guilty of sinning. That’s why God sent His Son for you. He wants to allow you to be free from the bondage of sin and alive through the work of Christ on the cross! All you have to do is trust in Him and believe!

When Steve Jobs created the iPhone, he had full authority over what happened with the product. If he said the phones should be a sphere, the whole company would build spheres. But it would be weird if he said something and no one did anything about it. Why? Because he created the iPhone! Today, Pastor Terry says that because God created the universe, He can do what He wants! And yet, He chose to send His Son for you so that you can live and be with Him for eternity! Trust in His love for you today!

We live in a world where culture is constantly shifting. What people celebrate, believe, and call truth seems to change all the time. But while culture changes, God never does. His Word is still true, still trustworthy, and still relevant today. Pastor Terry will explain to you today that you can’t build your life on opinions or trends that come and go. Stay grounded in Scripture instead of being swayed by every changing voice around you. Stand on God’s truth, and you’ll have something steady to hold onto.

God wants to use each of us for something bigger than ourselves. He calls us to represent Him and help accomplish His mission in the world. But whenever God begins moving through someone’s life, resistance often follows. There will be opposition, discouragement, and spiritual battles along the way. Today, Pastor Terry will tell you that the presence of enemies doesn’t mean you’re failing—it may mean you’re making an impact. So stay close to God, and remember that He is fighting for you.

Our relationship with God was never meant to survive on occasional moments. Just like any relationship, connection grows through time spent together. That’s why prayer matters. That’s why reading the Bible matters. Pastor Terry will talk to you today about how easy it is to drift when you stop staying connected to God consistently. But when you spend time with Him, He strengthens you, guides you, and reminds you who you are. Staying close to God changes everything about how you live.

Life can get so full of responsibilities, deadlines, and constant noise that spending time with God starts to feel optional or unproductive. But time with Him is never wasted. It’s what gives us the strength, wisdom, and peace to keep going. Even Jesus stepped away from the crowds to pray. Today, Pastor Terry will explain to you that you can be busy doing things for God while neglecting time with God. The truth is, you don’t lose time when you seek Him first; you gain the strength you need to make it through.

We’ve all had moments we wish we could undo: mistakes, failures, and seasons where we fell short. But God has a way of taking broken things and turning them into something beautiful. He can redeem what we thought was wasted and use our failures as part of our testimony. Pastor Terry will share with you today that God doesn’t just cover your past: He transforms it. The same place where you failed may become the very place where God shows His victory and faithfulness most clearly.

We all like predictability. We want God to move the same way He did last time, through the same people or the same timing. But God works differently every time. He’s not limited by formulas. Today, Pastor Terry will tell you that you may not always understand what God’s doing or how He’ll come through, but you can trust His character. Even when God’s methods change, His faithfulness never does. You may not be able to predict the process, but you can count on the promise that He will come through.
